Ubuntu Servers :: Allow Users To Upload And Run Scripts In Controlled Environment?

Apr 22, 2011

I am setting up a small competition for a forum where there are a set of programming tasks to complete (in various languages). At the end of the allocated time, the fastest program that successfully completes the task wins.I would like to set up a server similar to the way the Google AI challenge works, where users can upload code to the server via an html page and the code is executed and profiled on the server.The problem is obviously security... so... how can I configure my server so that the uploaded scripts are run in a completely jailed environment and do not have access to anything outside their folder and cannot execute any commands on the server?The chain of events looks like this: User writes script on local machine -> user zips script -> user browses to server html page -> user uploads script -> script is compiled and executed on the server -> user is shown output from script

Ubuntu Servers :: Create Secure Shell Environment For Users?

Feb 25, 2010

I was planning on using my VPS to grant some of my friends shells. The problem though is that I don't want them doing crazy stuff on it, like using up all my RAM or disk space. I would like to limit them to a very small 25 mb disk space, and allow them only certain application in /usr/bin like python perl irssi screen etc. I do NOT want them to be able to cd out of their home directory. I really want this to be setup like the shell provider SHellium. I can setup the FTP and SSH stuff myself.

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.04 No Upload Folder In /tmp With Php Upload Script?

Jun 13, 2010

have setup a LAMP server with ubuntu 10.04 server edition x86 for my study in VMware Workstation 7.1 For a assignment I had to make a php script that would load a file up to the server and set the name in a mysql database. According to the book the server should set the image in a cryptic folder in the /tmp/ folder.

This isn't working and i also try'd locate and find to find the image i uploaded. I checked the php.ini and file uploads were on but no folder so i set that one to /tmp/ but still no images. Can anyone help me with enabling this function?

Software :: VSFTPD - Same Upload Folder, Different Users?

Nov 18, 2010

I have many clients uploading to the same directory.

I have set chmod to 733 and chown to another user on the upload folder so that the different clients do not see each others files,
but that also causes the client to not see their own files after they are uploaded or not being able to resume broken uploads.

I would like the different user log in with their own username and password but all upload to the same directory and not see each others files, but just their own. Is this possible? Or does anyone have a tip how to achieve something similar?

Ubuntu :: Permission To Upload / Delete / Edit All Files In / Home / Www / For Multiple Users?

Dec 16, 2010

I installed proftpd on my Ubuntu 10.10 install. I also run multiple websites that I want to allow ftp access to for 2 different users. The websites are located in /home/www/. This is where the guide I was following told me to put them. I also don't have a user named www.How can I give write permission to upload, delete, and edit all the files in /home/www/ for multiple users? They can connect to the ftp server and see the file, just not change them.

Debian Configuration :: Environment Variables For All Users

Nov 27, 2015

I'm newbie on Debian, and I just installed Debian 8.2. (I used to run openSuse, and I see Debian is quite different.)

Where should I set environment variables (like PATH or JAVA_HOME) in order to affect all users?

I read some documentation about that, but It is not clear for me, the difference among "/etc/environment", "/etc/bash.bashrc" and "/etc/profile".

(In openSuse, I used to create a file "/etc/bash.bashrc.local" and set the environment variables there, in order these settings are not lost with updates.)

Ubuntu Servers :: Add Windows & Mac Users As Samba Users?

Nov 23, 2010

If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.

CentOS 5 Server :: Local Users Cannot Upload Files To VSFTP SERVER

Nov 25, 2010

I've setup a Lamp Server for Testing, The Lamp Server is Up & Running on CentOs 5.5

I am now trying to setup a VSFTP server where local users can upload files to there home directory so that Apache can serve web pages straight from the directories of system user home/accounts giving users the ability to run their own web sites which are hosted off the main server [tutorial here: [url]

So far i have been able to serve/display index.html files from the users home directory [url] but so far i cant upload files to any user home directory, every time i try to upload a file with filezilla i get this error message: 553 Could not create file. Critical file transfer error

I have searched online for similar problems like mine and so far i've tried alot of the solution but none seem to work. I'm confused, dont know where i went wrong, i put the users in a group called ftpusers and here are the permissions on the users (test, ftpuser & testftp) home directory. have a look an tell me where i went wrong :(

Also the root directory where the web pages are served from is called public_html here are the permissions

Here is my vsftp.conf file can someone check it to see if i made any errors in there:

Ubuntu Servers :: Configure Openssh Ftp - Upload To Web Directory

Jul 27, 2010

I would like to upload files via ftp or sftp to my web directory at /var/www/...

Originally I had installed openssh-server (through apt-get, before learning about tasksel). I assumed this only had ssh support and not ftp, so after a quick search, I installed vsftpd. I would like to learn how to configure openssh, and I mention vsftpd in case there is a conflict.

Right now I am able to log in to my server box through ssh/ftp, but I can only modify my home directory. I created a directory: /var/www/andrew and set permissions to drwxr-xr-x. I am unable to upload files to this folder.

What do I have to do to resolve this, and is there anything else I should know about my situation?

But I can't upload files or pictures all the time.Everytime I tried to upload , it tips me : "can't create file or folder ...... . is its parents folder writable by the server?"Now it's considered as a bug.But I tried 3 methods introduced on the net .

Fedora Servers :: Apache Php Upload Not Work

Dec 24, 2010

I've write a php code to upload files. by move_uploaded_file. I've given 777 to the folder. But file upload unsuccess, error log show no premission. I test the code in Centos it wotks. I change the dest folder in Fedora to /tmp it works, but it only work on /tmp. neither /tmp/abc nor /temp. I guess it's a setting problem on apache or php. I also copy http.conf and php.ini from Centos, but mod_file_cache and mod_mem_cache not find in Fedora.

Ubuntu Servers :: Error Occurs When We Use Move Upload File, To The New Directory Within Our PHP App

Oct 7, 2010

We are running into issues with a File Upload script written in PHP. We can upload files without issues except with .*x files (such as .docx) We are getting permission denied errors. The error occurs when we use move upload file, to the new directory within our PHP app. If we give the uploads folder 777 access, it works fine without error. I dont like that. So I set it to 775 (Also dont like this), but it didnt work until I gave group ownership to www-data (I really dont like this)

This issue only happens on our production server, which is Ubuntu 9.04, running Apache2.2 and PHP5 will all the newest updates. We also have all MIME's configured, and are able to download the file from Apache without error. The first thing we noticed before the file permissions error, was that the MIME type changed to .zip when we used mime content type function. But yet using the FILES array, it still showed .docx.

Fedora Servers :: Can't Upload File To Empty Home Directory

Feb 1, 2009

I just installed FC10 and then used yumex to install the vsftpd FTP daemon package. I'm using the vsftpd.conf file that came with the distribution, and its almost identical to one I copied from my FC2 machine's working set-up. When I try to FTP in as a known system user I'm presented with my home directory /home/myusername/. The directory appears empty to the FTP program, but isn't in reality. I can't upload a file to the empty home directory. I can move up the directory hierarchy to /home/, but again that appears as an empty directory.

I don't think it's a vsftpd.conf file issue. I've tried everything I can there. Could it have something to do with permissions? I fiddled with those, but couldn't make an FTP directory listing work.

Ubuntu Servers :: Synchronizing Users Across Servers?

Oct 1, 2010

I wonder if other people have this problem. sometimes I need to duplicate most or all of a server from one machine to another. part where I most tend to have issues is with recreating the users. Sometimes the UIDs don't match up because of differences between the two systems, which gives funky results, like files owned by the wrong user.

Or, sometimes, I just need to create the same 10 users on x number of machines, and it's tedious to do this 10x times. Plus, then, if you need to change a password or delete a user, you have to do it x times.Any recommendations on how to centralize users/auth?

Ubuntu Servers :: OpenERP And Drupal Environment Don't Get Along

May 20, 2011

I had OpenERP completely installed and running just fine. All basic install instructions just worked out of the box on Ubuntu 11.04. Now, we also are going to develop our own web site. For that we needed a web development environment. Due to the small size of our home business, we have to do it all on one PC. So I went ahead and installed everything needed to get Drupal going, among which I had to install:

LAMP
Drupal
Memcached
Memcache
Postfix
Tomcat

and other packages.It all works like a charm, but now my openerp-web crashes when I start it with the following message:

Code:

[20/May/2011:16:17:19] ENGINE Bus STARTING
[20/May/2011:16:17:19] ENGINE Started monitor thread '_TimeoutMonitor'.
[20/May/2011:16:17:19] ENGINE Started monitor thread 'Autoreloader'.

[code]....

For those that do not know it: it is a module that interfaces with the OpenERP server software to allow people to access the system through their web browser, effectively eliminating the use to install a client on their PC. Very practical for our light weight laptop that we use in combination with my PC.

Normally one would connect by browsing to [URL] and automatically get connected with the OpenERP environment.Now, however, that does not work anymore with the above error as a result. Do you guys have any idea if I have to configure something in Apache to get this working again? Possibly with instructions, otherwise I'd get lost again in no time.

Ubuntu Servers :: Samba In Large Scale Environment.

Is there a way to add a wildcard like $(USER) (that's logged in)//fileserver/ students/classof2011/Bill_Gates? Or would a directory path have to be created for each student?Either way is fine. I'm just curious what the proper protocol is for completing that task.
