Ubuntu Servers :: Apache 2.2 Users And Groups In Virtual Hosts?
Mar 3, 2011
I have Apache up and running and have a few virtual sites enabled. All these sites belong to the same user and group and the directory root for each site is in /home/{same-user}/www/{site-name}/htdocs/
I use Samba to connect from Windows to these directories and by default, files and directories are saved as the {same-user} and {same-group}. My question is, would it cause a problem if I changed the user and group in the virtual server directives in /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf files, giving apache permission to write to these files and directories. In the past I have changed the user and group to www-data (the default) but this seems inefficient an cumbersome compared to what I intend to do.
I use the server mostly for development, although at times I have a small site or two available to the public. Before I do this I want to be sure I'm not leaving a gaping security hole by changing these things. If this is all wrong, what is the standard way of running virtual hosts from apache and what is the standard document root for virtual sites?

I'm wondering if this is even possible before I start the learning curve with Ubuntu and apache virtual hosts.
I have a static external IP address that resolves to the various domain names I will be using. I have a web server inside my network with a private IP address and any http request to the firewall is forwarded to the webserver on the appropriate port. This setup works well when using the same web page/configuration for all of the domains.
Will it be possible to use named virtual hosts in this configuration, or will the NAT'ing interfere?

i use virtual hosts to develop several web applications. These are located in my home folder under /home/user/projects/project After a fresh installation, i always get a 403 forbidden error. After googling and reading on this forum, several solutions are mentioned for this problem. But i can hardly believe putting using a chmod 755 on my home folder is a correct solution. What is the correct way of doing things in this situation?

apache virtual host to limit the concurrent connections of virtual hosts? Taking into account the host of each virtual user's home directory can also have more than one subdirectory, which should be restricted to a subdirectory. Is beyond the control of the operation of these sites in a subdirectory. Best local restrictions or limitations to the overall situation.

I have just setup two Apache virtual hosts and I was wondering how I could link them to different domains so that they could be accessed from another machine.

What is the (officially) proper way to configure Apache so that a given IP address can have two or more virtual host names, each going to different distinct configurations (e.g. with different DocumentRoot, Alias, etc), and also do this for the IP address so that it goes to a designated configuration rather than defaulting to the first or a random host name?
Apache documentation does not appear to address this. If so, it has it hidden in a non-obvious place.

I run couple of sites on a virtual hosting environment and I am in need of adding additional SSL for a different domain name. From what I read on some forum topics indicate that SSL cert requires different IP address. meaning one cert for each IP. Is this true? If so, then I'm having some difficulties understanding the benefits of running virtual host if a server can't host multiple secured site through single IP. Any way to run multiple ssl site within virtual host environment. I'm hoping for a possible workaround.

I am trying to configure Apache to handle virtual hosts. For this I un-commented the line in httpd.conf that say
Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Then I included the following in httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
<Directory /var/www/git.localhost/gitorious/public>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow, deny
Allow from All .....

I'm having trouble implementing SSL on a AvantFax login screen. I've created the the certificates and keys and have them stored in /etc/apache2/ssl and I'm sort of stuck now. I've been following a guide but any changes to the conf files leads to errors. The system I'm using is Debian 5.0

First of all I've looked at "similar threads" without finding an answer. I'm setting up Name-based VH using an IP as the base. The OS is CentOS 5.4
My config looks like:
NameVirtualHost 12.345.678.90:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
[Code]...
The names are of course not in DNS so to access the server from my local Windows machine I had to use the hosts file: 12.345.678.90 dev1 Entering dev1 in my browser *does* take me to the server but it takes me to default VH (DocumentRoot /var/www/html). What am I overlooking?

This really has me baffled! I'm running Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2003 (I know, my first blunder). I can edit existing virtual hosts without a problem, for example, I can change this existing vhost to point to a different document root and it works fine:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName existingsubdomain.mydomain.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mydirectory"
</VirtualHost>
But the moment I try to add a new virtual host, it doesn't get recognized! When I try to browse to it in a browser, I get a "Server not found: Firefox can't find the server at newsubdomain.mellemallc.net."
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName newsubdomain.mydomain.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mydirectory"
</VirtualHost>
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this may be happening?

I currently have an Apache Web Server running on Ubuntu 10.4 and I use a DynDNS service to make them accessible to the outside world via a domain and/or subdomain.
My configs currently look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <obscured>@<obscured>.com
ServerName <subdomain>.<obscured>.com
ServerAlias <subdomain>
[Code].....
This works fine from access outside of the network and all subdomains resolve to the correct directory.
The problem I am having is with accessing a subdomain over my internal network.
I can access the Web Server using the server's IP address: http://192.168.1.123/ but this always takes me to the same virtual host and I don't know how to distinguish between different virtual hosts (different subdomains).
Ideally I would like to access the same subdomains using http://<subdomain>/ where <subdomain> is the same as the subdomain attached to the external domain name.

I am trying to run two web servers (Virtual Hosts) on a single Linux Centos 5.5 box with a single IP address 192.168.0.182. I did all the pre-installation requirements such yum install mysql, yum install mysqladmin, service httpd start, service mysqld start etc etc.In /var/www/html directory, I have two folder called server1 and server2. These two folders have the necessary web server php script files and folders. I opened the browser and managed to install the script on one web server successfully. When I put the IP address 192.168.0.182 on the browser address bar, the page loads without any problem. Now I would like to be able to install the other web server script and I don't know how to?Here is my httpd configuration;
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/server1
ServerName development.mysite.com

I don't know if this should be a followup to my prior topic [URL] ....
Each of the pieces I've installed all have an "Alias" directive in the conf file to link the directory where they live to be present on my server. For instance, DotClear lives in /usr/share/dotclear/web/ and there is a directive
Code: Select allAlias /dotclear /usr/share/dotclear/web
that directs http://myserver/dotclear to that site.
Now, I've set up VirtualHost entries for my DotClear and Owncloud with their own hostnames.
Code: Select all<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName myowndotclear.com
ServerAlias www.myowndotclear.com
DocumentRoot /usr/share/dotclear/web
[Code] ....
Something similar for Owncloud.
The problem is when I go to [URL] ...., I get to my mythweb site.
This is not so good. So, for the sites that have their own hostnames, I removed the "Alias ..." directive. Of course, now I can't get to the hosts by going to the primary site which is probably fine, but I also still get my mythweb since that doesn't have it's own virtualhost entry.
This doesn't seem like correct behavior. Is there a better place to put the "Alias ..." directive so that it only works from one site and not all of them?
I am also thinking I should just link the directories into /var/www/html, but I'm not sure that's a better solution.

How to best manage both http and https pages on the same apache-server without conflicts. For example, if i have both 000-default.conf and 000-default-ssl.conf pointing to mydomain.com, and don't want users who visit mydomain.com without specifically type the https-prefix to be redirected to the https-page - how to handle users using browserplugins such as https-everywhere etc?
Another option would be to create a subdomain ssl.mudomain.com and have users who want to reach the ssl site to have to type ssl. I have tested several things with https everywhere enabled in my own browser, and it seems really hard to make this working the way i want, in one way or another i always end up getting redirected to the ssl-site automatically.
The reason i need this to work is because i run one site that i don't care much about SSL, that is the "official" part of that site, and i also host some things for friends and family on the SSL-part. This would not have been a problem if it wasn't that i use self-signed certificates for my ssl-site and the major user become afraid when a certificate-warning pops up in their browser and therefor leave the site.

I run a dedicated opensuse 11.1 server with apache (2.2.10-2.9.1) installed. This box has been running for nearly 2 years hosting several low traffic websites. I must admit that I did not give lots of love/attention to the machine over that period. It ran rock solid. The different websites each have their own associated user account and are stored in their own /home/name/public_html/ folder. It was setup through Webmin. Each domain name is also linked to a unique IP (the box has multiple available IPs), however this is configured at my domain provider. All in all a very simple and straightforward setup that never let me down most of the past decade.
Recently the sites on the machine were no longer responding. This happens each other year or so since I write my logfiles to a separate partition. Was df -h and indeed, partition was full. Removed logfiles manually, and while I was at it I decided it was time to run an online update (yast2 / online update that is). Rebooted machine after yast telling me to do so. Sites are no longer working. Can no longer login to webmin. Only thing what works is the 'root' webpage (/srv/www/htdocs folder), which makes me rather clueless as the other sites are just not responding at all, not even a timeout or error message.While I know that deleting logfiles manually is quite stupid, I've done it fore and not really ended up in trouble.
Hence my questions: does this sound familiar to anyone and do you mind to give me a clue about where exactly I should start to look. It's been ages since I actually administrated apache, so I might overlook the obvious. Long story short: any tips are very welcome about what I should check first, what config files might have been changedith the update, etc ...

I'm currently running a small server using 9.10 and I wondered if using groups was a possible route in order to keep users away from the bulk of the file system and keep them in locked their home directories.
What I planned to do is use a group named 'allowsystemfiles' to be added to admin accounts, then to set parts of the file system to that group, along with the permissions 0760 to keep non-admin users out.
Is is a good idea or will this hose my system?

I successfully configured a VPN using IPSec(Openswan) and xl2ptd. While roughly following this guide (among countless others): [URL]
The VPN-Connection works fine, connecting to it is also a swirl, I can reach all that I want in the network, and also the gateway to the Internet works - everything being routed through that VPN.
Now my problem is actually the next steps, and I didn't succeed finding the right result on any possible search:
a) I want to limit, that the VPN-Connection is only used for distinct connections to hosts, that aren't in a "company subnet", but the IP's are publicly available. (Example: The Target-IP 8.8.8.8 allows per iptables, that only my VPN-Host 1.2.3.4 accesses it via SSH, and thus I only can access that Target-IP via SSH when I'm on the VPN). When actually browsing to the ubuntu-website, I want, that NOT the VPN-Connection is used but rather my normal connection (as a reference: i'm on a Windows-Client - not my choice, btw.)
b) I want to have several such "limitations" grouped, and give users 'access-rights' to certain hosts (Examples: Admin gets access to all on all ports Testers get access to some machines on distinct ports CEO gets access only to the mailserver via POP3 or IMAP

I have Ubuntu 10.04.2 (Linux 2.6.32-33-server on x86_64) with OpenLDAP 2.4.21 and Webmin1.550. I converted my ldap database from another system with the older style schema (OpenLDAP 2.3.3 with slightly older Webmin version 1.480) and no longer use slapd.conf, but the newer slapd.d format.
It all works fine except for one thing. When I add a new user, it lets me type in the additional LDAP fields:
But when I click the Create button, all the fields get jumbled together in the Title/Position box with a diamond question mark delimiting the fields:
Modifying existing users (which have the Additional fields displaying correctly) also has the same result - it moves the fields all into the one Title/Position box with the diamond shapes with question marks inside between each entry. Is it a problem with my schema files? I tried reverting to the older shema files and slapd.conf and it still did the same thing on the new system. I am really at a loss.
Here is also the output of ldapsearch for that user (host and samba ids are sanitized):
Previously added users that show the fields properly have "description:" and then the field listed for each Additional LDAP field. Also shouldn't the "title" be visible in plain human readable text here? - it looks like it encrypted it somehow - similar to a password hash. The older system works fine and the fields are all readable and in their proper locations. But the new system just doesn't work right.

I don't know if I'm posting in the right box - I'm new to both Ubuntu and this forum so please bear with me. Thing is, I spent almost 2 days trying to find a web server that meets my likes. I tried like almost every well known web server, be it Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx, and Cherokee, one by one. For each I was successfully in getting PHP up and running, but was never able to configure the virtual hosts.
I'm 99.99% sure that I - for multiple times - followed correctly the online how-to's. Especially Cherokee, I did exactly the screencast (which is just 2 steps, as Cherokee has a GUI for virtual server setups). Strange enough, with each web server the virtual hosts thing never worked for me. I always received "Server not found" error. I tried with Firefox and Google Chrome. Currently I'm on an Ubuntu 9.10 (32bit) box - I reinstalled this one over the 64bit, to vain.
Don't know if it's a problem with my DNS, but I have another machine running Windows 7 with the same DHCP settings (means same DNS and IP range). Virtual hosts work fine there on an XAMPP installation.

So i have a fresh install of the server edition of Karmic, i'm running the Xfce desktop. When I attempt to manage users and groups through the GUI, I am prompted for what I think is the root password, the reason I say this is because the account I am currently logged in has sudo privileges and it does not accept that password at all, but I read that by default the root account is 'locked,' (to be honest it was so long ago since I last installed Ubuntu I completely forgot if it is or isn't, my current desktop installation has su access) is it asking for the root password? why doesn't my current user account password work if the root account is 'locked'? I can perform all other administrative tasks with sudo no problem.
the funny thing is, I have the exact same setup in a virtual machine, the same problem happens, except for some strange reason after changing the password on the only account (besides root), the password required to administer users and groups stayed the same after the change. (at the time of installation I just put both the user and root password the same and now that it is setup), i'm now ready to change the passwords. except now I read that the root account is locked by default, but this strange problem occurs.

when I'm trying to add a virtual host with a foreign character in the domain name. The foreign character is .
I've read earlier threads where it was said I should puny code it, which then translates to xn--nda
I then created a virtual host, as shown (replaced the real domain with exampl�:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me@exampl�.com
ServerName exampl�.com
[Code]....
However, apache2 doesn't recognize this when I try to enter the domain, it just shows my 000default.

I have installed bind9 for DNS. I have also installed Apache2, PHP5, MySQL, and correctly configured these together. When I view domain1.co.uk it currently works fine as required. I would like to change it to:
* /var/www/domain1.co.uk/prod/ - becomes the root dir of domain1.co.uk
* /var/www/domain2.co.uk/prod/ - becomes the root dir of domain2.co.uk
Nevertheless, I have created a the following files; these are copies of the "default" file and correctly amended. the required destination directories are in place!
* /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain1.co.uk
* /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain2.co.uk
I then executed:
Code:
sudo ln -s domain1.co.uk ../sites-enabled/domain1.co.uk
Code:
sudo ln -s domain2.co.uk ../sites-enabled/domain2.co.uk
It is important to understand domain1.co.uk and domain2.co.uk represent 2 Existing domain names I own, and both point to my server.
domain1.co.uk currently works in /var/www
Why I would like multiple domain names on the server.

The question is, as far as I know Ubuntu distro adds a user created with useradd to supplementary groups automatically. For instance, I want to enable sudo for all newly created users on my LiveCD and want them to be added to the group 'wheel' on creation. I'm sure it is possible to do it in Fedora, but how?

Recently my home PC crashed and I had to re-installed it. I put a "clean" install of Fedora11, then copied my /home directory and some other stuff over from the old installation.I have a couple of PHP scripts I wrote, and one of them stopped working. It uses cURL, and when I enable error tracking I get:cURL error number:6cURL errorouldn't resolve host 'www.host.com'I started digging around and I found out Apache doesn't resolve anything at all, so it's not only a cURL problem. For example,
$ip = gethostbyname('host.com');
echo $ip; die();
returns "host.com" and not an IP address.My best guess so far is that Apache has no access to the DNS service (from command line and in browsers everything resolves). had a suspicion it's a SElinux issue and disabled it, but that didn't change anything.I found some old forum posts mentioning problems with chroot-ed Apache, but I haven't done anything to mine and in any case couldn't figure out what the problem was, or the solution, so I'm stuck.
