Ubuntu Servers :: LAMP Apache2 Starts And Stops Well But No Website
Nov 17, 2010
I have a small network of an Ubuntu server 10.4 , Debian server, Win XP, and an ubuntu desktop 10.4. I have configured a DNS server and DHCP server successfully on my ubuntu server, also a slave DNS server on Debian. I recently configured apache2 as part of LAMP on ubuntu server, but when I type my ServerName in the URL of my Win XP browser, I get this response: The webpage "mansour.net" cannot be found DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.
I have an A Record in my DNS zone file for mansour.net and have that as my ServerName in apache2 Definition file, but I don't know why it is not working. I am trying to learn to install and configure various servers on ubuntu.
Basically I've made a right **** up of my apache2 configuration and I just want to un-install apache2 and re-install so I can start again.
I've done research on this but the guides have always been for people installing using "apt-get" or "rpm" packages. I've tried these methods but nothing has worked.
The way I installed lamp was from selecting it in the different options when installing ubuntu-server from disk.
Is there any way I can do this through the terminal and not through synaptic, only reason being is that I'm ssh'ing across a local network.
Sometime after I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 I've been having trouble with my wireless network connection.It will usually log on to the network, then disconnect a shortly after. Then try to connect again, usually successfully, then it cuts off again. Then connects again, then disconnects. FWIW, ubuntu 9.10 works on a different machine pretty consistently, so I don't think its a problem with the router.
I just installed LAMP on ubuntu 10.04using this method:ow i want to change the directory where my websites are; default is "/var/www" right. I have a partition using NTSF file system where i have a folder with all my websites. Can i configure LAMP to use this folder?
I recently put a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 Server on an old dell I had sitting around the house with the intention of using it as an all purpose server machine (website, teamspeak, ftp, storage, etc.). I am running apache2 for the web server and want to use vsftpd to edit the website contents through FTP. The issue I am running into is that vsftp doesn't have permissions to write /var/www/ which is the default website directory. The flip-side issue is that apache2 doesn't have permission to access the /home/user/ directory which vsftp has permissions to write.
Because I am only interested in running a single website (no virtual machines/no extra IPs) fixing either apache2 permission or vsftpd permissions would fix the problem.Changing DocumentRoot to /home/user/ will make apache2 point to the new directory but I get a 403 error. I have no idea how to change application permissions.I need to use to give permissions for vsftp to write /var/www/ (vsftpd.conf is configured to allow write in home directory) OR the command I need to give permissions for apache2 to access /home/user/? I assume it is a chmod command but I have never used this and don't know what the permission codes (777, etc.) do in terms of giving me the necessary andsufficient app permissions. I don't want to give the app. too much access and risk creating some security flaw.Here are my vsftpd.conf, default (website config file) and apache2.conf.apache2.conf

identify the right network structure for a data intensive website, built on LAMP. I'm thinking of a load balanced website, and that it should have a mysql master/slave setup server. I'm no expert in this area, so any online resources are welcome. You can check out the website [URL] - but it will have 10 million items once the hardware can support it.
I am running Server 10. I have a requirement to perform an action before the MySQL service starts, and perform another action after MySQL service stops.
I found the init script for MySQL under /etc/init/mysql.conf. I added my thing to the pre-start script there and works fine.
I am having trouble finding the script that stops the server so I can modify.
After install LAMP, apache2 can't access php files; I can see the info from the phpinfo(); but when I create a php file in /var/www and try to access the file (via web browser), the page is blank. If I change the extension to html I can acces without problems. I checked everythig but I can't understand why any web browser access a blank page. Nothing appears when I'm cheking the error.log file (apache2)
I'm running with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition and I have LAMP server installed on the machine. I'm wanting to host my Automotive Detailing website that I'm almost done with off of that server. I have decals made up for my car and friends cars with the domain that I have registered on it. Now, can someone please tell me where and how to put the files for my website on the server and how to configure everything so I can get it up and running ASAP?!? I'm fairly new at this Ubuntu and what not so I need a detailed tutorial
So this is what I need to know:
==> Where to put the webpage files ==> How to configure the server to open it up to the world wide web ==> How to change the IP Address to Static and how to know what to change it to. ==> How to point the registered domain to the server.
Like I said I'm fairly new at this so please be as detailed as possible!
how to create a website using LAMP. Take completed website and port to a web server and run.
System I am currently running an HP Pavillion laptop 500G HD, 6G RAM, dual boot Fedora 10 and Vista.
Questions: How should I partition HD to allow functionality of LAMP and to later transfer to a online webserver.
I have read several different rational on partitioning the disk. Do I really need a /tmp, /var? Currently I have / /boot, /swap, /home, /usr. Is this okay to start? Will it make transferring the project more difficult for "official use?
Should I not use the laptop at all and create a separate machine for this purpose only?
I wanted to create and host a simple website using LAMP and Drupal. I read an article in a Linux magazine a while back on how to do this, but can't seem to find any instructions. Can someone direct me to a site or link that has step by step instructions on setting up lamp and drupal?
I have installed LAMP. Configured acc. to documentation. I have installed webmin and able to access it. Configured Apache2 and able to access default website www.url.com from public network. But now when I am trying to run [URL] as alias, I am really confused because whenever I type [URL] in web browser, it shows me webmin file instead of GUI. I followed this documentation: [URL]. Anyone have webmin running as website?
I'm completely new to this whole hosting on linux thing. I'm using apache2 and have everything setup as if I was doing it on a windows machine but when I navigate to the site via URL it displays the source code as plan text and thats all I see. I'm running openSuse 10.3.
I have a problem with my wlan connection. it works for few seconds, then stops for few seconds and then starts again (without interaction from my side). I run Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid. The issue started few days ago. Using ethernet, there is no problem. The problem does not exist with other computers i have, there wifi and internet work continuously and flawless. I ping my wlan router. one sees that connection to the wlan router starts and stops every few seconds... (of course, internet connection then behaves analogous)

I tried to install Ubuntu netbook remix Lucid on a Lenovo IdeaPad netbook with an Intel Atom processor and a SSD HD 4 GB and a SATA HDD of 160 GB. The installation starts normally, but stops on step 3 of 7, where I choose my keyboard layer...it never passes on to step 4 of 7. I must mention that I had a corrupted installation of Windows XP running on it...I made an USB bootable disk, and everything goes fine untill step 3 of 7.

When I plug the webcam in (usb), the led starts to shine, indicating that it is filming. When I use a program (XSane for example) and click the 'scan' button, the led turns off! It seems that the cam works when it shouldn't, and vice versa.
A friend of mine has asked me to install Ubuntu for a long time. Today I set up his partitions with Lucid LiveCD and GParted.
However, the LiveCd throws an error that makes me hesitant to continue.
If I boot a LiveCD on my computer I get a question meaning "run Live or install?"
This question does not appear on my friends computer. The first thing you see (about 2 min after boot) is an alertpanel saying something like "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. We will now set up a desktop environment so you can investigate the problem." After that the normal Lucid (Live) desktop appears and functions well, as far as I can understand.
Sorry for not being able to give more data about my friends system. It is a stationary computer about 2 yrs old, running XP. I can't really make investigations on his system either. I had hoped to go there next time and just install Lucid.
Maybe one should try the alternate installer, but my friend just got used to the LiveCD and I would therefore like to use the LiveCD.
I don't understand why it seems to start installation by itself.
Most of all. I wonder if it is a good idea to run the installation from the desktop icon? Maybe it will encounter the same error that the LiveCd seems to encounter at startup?
I've successfully installed my LAMP server (9.10). I've ran a test.php but am curious if there are any tutorials onlines or even books to buy in order o learn how it all works. Where the files are and the mechanics of it. I have it installed but what now ha... I've done HTML, I've built websites but I'm lost!...
I need to uninstall Lamp from my Ubuntu 10.04 OS. I just need to commands etc as I am rather noob at Ubuntu. I will be installing it again I just have come across several problems.
I've looked at several tutorials and since i'm a newb I can't figure them out. I'm trying to set my hostname on my LAMP 10.04. What files do I need to configure? (all IP's below are fake)
Here are the first lines from /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Code: <VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost /etc/apache2/ports.conf has these lines after the comments
I'm using ubuntu server 11.04 in a LAMP configuration. I have my login page setup but my php email verification isnt working. I would like to know how can I install a relay that can take the email verifications and send them through a gmail account.
I have a LAMP server running Ubuntu 8.04.03 Server edition running smoothly. Ive setup several websites on the server and all are ok, but I constantly have trouble with permissions. Everytime I setup a new domain to host, I setup a user specific to that domain. This allows SSH login specific to the domain. The problem I have is that every time I setup ownership in the virtual directories for the users they belong to, the settings don't seem to stay. Initially it seems to work ok, but when I install Joomla and setup the webspace, I always seem to have to login to the server itself to chmod the folders I need to have writable. I cant chmod properly from my FTP client which is weird. How to manage permissions?
Currently I am doing the following: Code: sudo mkdir -p {name of domain}/{public,private, etc...} sudo usermod -g www-data {my user name} sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/{directory for the domain} sudo chmod -R 775 {folder path I need to change}
This works for a while but as I add new things to Joomla and I want to modify the folders, I always have to go back and redo the chmod and the chown commands to get them where I want.
End of my first week after using ubuntu. I have setup LAMP for the purposes of my own coding education, place to run php and python scripts.
LAMP seems to be setup fine and working - I even got php5 working with it - however I am having a lot more trouble getting python to work in much the same manner.
I have downloaded the mod_python from [URL], unzipped it, tried to run ./configure and it said apxs was not installed.
After some reading it turns out I had to remove some apache-fork something and install apache-devfork (please forgive lack of exact names).
After doing this the ./configure on mod_python passed the "finding apxs" test but then said it can't find apache2 at /sbin/apache2 and again aborted the configure.
PHP in *.php files works in LAMP. PHP script within an *.html file is not executed. Does not display anything but view->source_code shows the <?php ... ?>
[Code]...
Doesn't display anything except the page title is there. View page source --- shows <?php phpinfo() ?> not the phpinfo() output. Both files are in /var/www/ with 644 permissions.
I had a working LAMP server on my old server. After a HD went out and was replaced I rebuilt my server with Ubuntu 10.10 server. Talk about a smooth and impressive install. I set up my Apache server and MySQL and even installed php5 just like I had done before on my old server. The only thing different I did with this install is with Apache. I now host 3 websites with virtual hosts. This is the only thing different I have done than the last time.
My problem now is my website won't display PHP. I didn't know I had this problem until I installed Drupal for a friend to play around with. Drupal won't finish the installation process because it claims: In your ./sites/default/settings.php file you have configured Drupal to use a server, however your PHP installation currently does not support this database type.
Know I have googled this phrase to hell and back to find a resolution and haven't. I even talked to my local linux guru at work and he refereed me here. I have tried reinstalling php left and right. I'm convinced that there is an option to enable php globally that I'm missing. I really think the virtual hosts is what is causing this trouble. What input will the mighty Ubuntu community provide me with,
Is there an easy way to transfer Webserver data from one ubuntu install to a new one? I know I'll need to get the stuff in /var/www and (somehow) the Mysql data, but are there files elsewhere to get? Or is there a better way than trying to copy all the various files?
I build a LAMP server behind a router. The current situation is:
1.I could access index.html of apache within the LAN. 2.I could access the vsftp outside of the LAN. 3.I could access the ssh outside of the LAN.
I have configured my router to do reflections(although I don't know it's correct or not.). I think the LAMP works good since I could use it inside the LAN. The configuration of the router is at least partly right because ssh and vsftp work fine(I test by browsing the ip:74.***.***.*** in the lan, not 192.168.1.8 --this also works. ).
I cannot access web service outside the LAN. And the error message is "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 74. Did I miss some configuration of router?Apache2?Ubuntu? I use the ubuntu server 2010.10 version.
I am trying to set up my local development environment to mimic the behaviour of my webhost: namely executing *.cgi files as CGI scripts, regardless of their location. If I'm not mistaken, the default setup of Apache on Ubuntu has this set up for /usr/lib/cgi-bin only.
I have tried adding +ExecCGI to the /var/www directory settings in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default. I have also tried AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in the same <directory> block.
