Ubuntu Servers :: Permissions Error For Phpmyadmin After Change To Fast CGI (mod Fcgid)?
Nov 22, 2010
I'm still getting my head around setting things up on my web server, I've configured php to run off of Fast CGI, rather than mod_php, due to better memory consumption. I've managed to get my virtual hosts configured to work with fastcgi, ensuring the following options are set:
I tried adding those settings to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf, but this doesn't seem to work. Whenever I go to www.mydomain.com/phpmyadmin , I just get a 403 Forbidden Error. This used to work no problems on mod_php.
[URL].. because the alias is set so that my virtual hosts can access it through /phpmyadmin. There is probably something basic I am missing here.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 x86 64 bit Desktop.I want to accomplish setting up a virtual host environment for education reasons. How may I accomplish this? So far I am going by this following guide: URL... But when I get to the part of entering the command in the terminal "a2enmod fcgid" I get the following error: "ERROR: Module fcgid does not exist" I've been pulling my hair and spent a ton of time trying out how to set up suexec and virtual hosting .
I encountered a problem when I am trying to access my phpmyadmin the error came up: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!
i'm having issues with a folder which I cannot write to or seem to do anything else with? i figured i'd delete it and start again but i can't even do that!!
Code: server@server:~$ sudo chown server /media/server/swap/downloads/incomplete/ chown: changing ownership of `/media/server/swap/downloads/incomplete/': Operation not permitted
I'm working on a remote Ubuntu 9.10 server, which is accessed via VPN. I installed Joomla, but had difficulty uploading new components, which I traced to a file permissions problem. I used FileZilla to FTP onto the site and tried to make the chmod changes I needed, but the commands kept failing. Eventually, I contacted the sys admin and told him I thought that there was an ownership problem with the directories. He checked and told me that I was logging in with exactly the same user name and password that he was using (it's not a live system currently) and that he could make chmod changes without any problems. Because all my attempts were still failing, he eventually did the following:
chown -R administrator:administrator /var/www
/var/www is where all the Joomla files are stored and Administrator is the user name.Now I find that when I run a chmod command in FileZilla, the server reports that it worked (see below):
However, if I go back and check the tmp folder permissions, I find that they are still set to 777.This still looks like an ownership problem to me, but I don't understand why the server seems to think that the chmod changes are working, when they aren't.
So i pulled some files off my buddy's computer via my wireless home network, i can access them but in the permission tab the owner is "nobody" so i can move the files. How can i change the permissions to enable me to move the files?
I had an old windoz 2003 server running a few recreational web sites. I've grown tired of all the hacking attempts, FTP floods, etc. Ok.. I've grown tired of windoz period.When I set the server up, I had the operating system on one physical drive and stored all of the web files on a separate physical drive just in case I ever wanted to make some changes to the operating system.in my adventurous ways, I've dumped windoz and installed ubuntu 11, 32 bit server edition on this machine. It is running fine from what I see on the server side. The first problem I've noticed is when even attempting to navigate to localhost through the server's web browser, I get a permissions issue.
So... off to the drive where the httpd.conf file points to. This is the second physical drive. When checking permissions and attempting to change them to the correct ones for the folder, I can't change them. I've tried through the GUI and the terminal as root. Neither way will change the permissions.I've stepped back and checked the permissions on the physical drive the files are stored on. I am having the same issues with the drive itself. How in the world can I change the permissions either on the drive or the folder? Is there something I should do as far as the drive's mounting?
I would like to change the permissions for a directory and all files inside the directory how do I do this? The website is located only on my local network so I am not worried about security. Also what would be the optimal permissions for running wordpress.
In my /var/www directory, I have everything set up with: user: www-data group: developers directories: chmod 570 files: chmod 460
Everything seems fine. Users from the developers group can edit files and all, but now we began using the Git repository, and whenever a user edits a file (ie. Joe who is a developer,) file permissions get screwed again. Now they're: user: Joe group: Joe directories: chmod 755 files: chmod 644 How can I fix this so permissions remain the same?
Every time I try to change file or folder permissions on a separate internal drive in ubuntu 10.10 desktop in sudo file manager, It sets it right back to the way it was before and doesn't save the permissions I want to change it to. The files aren't critical system files that are not even existent on this hard drive.
Its on a completely separate drive, Yet aren't I suppose to be in control of what gets changed to what? Instead of a Operating System doing something just for my safety? A simple AVI files permissions being changed shouldn't hurt anything. How to I stop ubuntu 10.10 from auto setting the permissions of my folders and files? Its really starting to me off right now. I've been looking around on google for Auto reset permissions for ubuntu, Haven't found one word about it. Yet I'm just going to assume someone might know how to resolve this? Or has dealed with this before.
I'm just trying to Forcefully set my folders on my separate drive all to 777 because they are all 775 and 755 and I can only access them with Write privileges if I run the SUDO file manager which I really hate having to do every so often I'm sure you can relate to how annoying it is to have to open up terminal and type something in to open a fully priviledged file manager.
Finally I managed to install my printer/scanner drivers.The last thing I need to do is to add the following two lines to 40-libsane.rules (which is a read only file):# Brother scanners ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes".How can I change permissions for this file or add these lines without changing permissions?
Installing 11.2 from KDE LiveCD on an IBM ThinkCenter with 3.2Gb CPU and 1Gb RAM. Ubuntu 9.04 on first two partitions. I go through the configuration, click to 'install': Install display bars remain blank. After 2-3 minutes, black screen with scroll of attempted installation pieces and the error message: "Respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min." Freeze.
Other posts mention problem with init. But this is happening with the install so not able to address that. No apparent md5chksum for LiveCDs. No mention of this problem in installation help guide. Does anyone know how to deal with this? If you need more info, I will provide. Though it seems this is not an unusual problem when booting an installed system, there's no mention of it happening during installation.
I had the brilliant idea to make my own web server since i had a silicon mechanics 1u server collecting dust. Ive got apache running. Phpmyadmin is installed but i cant get into the admin panel. When it asks for the user name and password no matter what i use it wont let me log in.
Have basic LAMP setup on 9.10 box. I want to have a publicly accessible website AND I want to have phpmyadmin available. The only thing is I would rather not have the phpmyadmin interface available on the internet. I usually open a ssh port forwarded tunnel when I need to use phpmyadmin on this server. I want to add a directive to make phpmyadmin bind only on localhost. I have found the phpmyadmin config file in /etc/apache2/conf.d
phpmyadmin.conf -> ../../phpmyadmin/apache.conf
I have tried adding some LISTEN directives, but apache does not like my directives-- I am obviously not doing it right. I have looked for a bit on the internet and can't find out how to disable external access to a configured site in Apache.
I am trying to install mcrypt for use in phpMyAdmin but am having some trouble. I apt-get'd the mcrypt-php5 package and it installed, but it seems to only function on the Apache Module version of php5 and not the CGI version. Both versions show the mcrypt extension installed in phpinfo, but in phpMyAdmin only one of them removes the error about mcrypt. Other extensions (such as cURL) which I installed with apt-get have worked, so I'm not sure why this one does not.
EDIT: I also compared the CGI php.ini and the apache2 php.ini and there were no differences there. I also confirmed that the php.ini file for the CGI version is loading from that location.
My situation I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server on a virtual machine. I installed apache2, php and mysql-server. Several vhosts I sat up are running fine and I can also connect to the MySQL server using the mysql command-line client. I now want to setup PhpMyAdmin to allow the vhosts owners to administrate their DBs. I installed the package using:
Code: apt-get install phpmyadmin I answered the questions and accepted the creation of the phpmyadmin database. The install finished successfully. I did a small modification to the main website vhost to access it easily: Code: Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
I am able to access phpmyadmin via my web browser using either my local ip followed by /phpmyadmin and by using the same layout with localhost. If i use my DNS name provided by no-ip which i bound to in apache2 i am able to get to the "It works!" page with the domain name but if i use /phpmyadmin after it, it will tell me that there is no such directory.
I'm setting up a home web server using LAMP that I want to use to access files and practice coding, but I am very new to Linux and web servers. I currently have it so I can access phpMyAdmin and the test pages locally through my internal IP, but whenever I try to access it through the external IP I get this router management console that I don't know the password or username to. I know my router login and password and it's not the same as that. I've forwarded port 80 and when that didn't work I tried changing /etc/apache2/ports.conf to 8080 and I forwarded that port on my router with no luck too.
It doesn't seem to matter if I have any ports forwarded, though, it still brings me to the same screen regardless. Also, I have set up a static IP on the server by modifying the /etc/network/interfaces file. I've attached a screenshot with the actual router management console screen. I won't have access to the server until later, but, if you require any output from the server I will be sure to post it as soon as I get home. I'm not using ubuntu for my webserver, but debian instead because ubuntu server had a whole bunch of problems with my PCMCIA network card. Ubuntu suggestions should work just fine, but I just thought I should clarify.
The original issue started when i couldnt login to phpmyadmin. I noticed an error when installing it and when trying to login, my credentials that I supplied upon install failed. After ages of messing around trying to reset I decided to try and uninstall phpmyadmin and MySQL and start again. This has produced more issues as I uninstalled MySQL first and phpmyadmin asks for credentials that are in a database, which I have already deleted. This causes major issues trying to uninstall it. Anyway, I have used all these commands:
In the old days of M$-DOS, there was the NCD (Norton Change Directory) utility. Anything of the sort in Linux?Explanatory note: you typed out the name of the directory you wanted to go to, that is, last element of the dir path.And you were, ipso facto, in that dir. If that was the only one by that name, good. When not, and if that wasn't the intended dir, you typed the same command again and you were in a second dir of that name. If this was the intended dir, good. And so on. It simply maintained a data base with the whole tree, and updated it when invoked from a newly created dir o by means of an option, NCD/R.
I get an error message that says phpMyAdmin - Error, Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
So I did some googling and found a post here {URL]... which speaks about resetting the ownership of the session directory. However I am wondering how I can find out what the owner if the directory is (if its root or admin or ...)
It's strange because it all worked fine just about two hours ago and I am not sure since I have the server automatically download security updates if there is something it automatically downloaded that caused this. Also how to make the server stop automatically downloading security updated?
I installed ubuntuserver edition 10.10 on my old p3.Installation went fine and i installed LAMP and SSH along with it.*everyhting i do past this point is via LAN on my laptop using root account on putty or winSCP.*I installed phpmyadmin, loged in with root, duplicated the root acount and gave the duplicate any host (%) access. Next i created an account with access only to the users database (for use in my php to check username and password).Next thing i did was change the apache2 config 000-default to disable indexing.After that i changed the php.ini file to allow 6GB uploads (for movies).Rebooted... and thats where the problems start.I CANT:Acces phpmyadmin with any acount.Login on my website.I CAN:login to mysql using root.I HAVE:Checked if the mysql database and table for websitelogin still existed, they do.Checked mysql useracounts and they are still there.So something changed after the reboot, because it was working fine before i did.
One server is a dedicated MySQL server. After upgrading that one to Ubuntu 10.04 (from an ancient Suse 9.2), both servers are running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.I have another server that I use to administer the database server via phpMyAdmin. However since the upgrade it is not able to connect. I get an error #1130 Cannot log in to the MySQL server. The same happens if I try to connect remotely from the command line with: mysql -u root -h 129.79.137.121 -pI'm not sure if this is an iptables/ports problem or a configuration problem on the MySQL end or something else entirely.I've searched and tried the suggestions I've found in various places but none seems to have fixed it.
How do I connect to the MySQL server using phpmyadmin?It's asking me for a username and password and I was not asked for a root password when I installed MySQL (unlike in Windows).I tried no password, I tried root as a password, I tried$ mysqladmin -u root -p blahEnter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failederror: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'Nothing I've tried is working obviously.Why does this have to be so stupid? Why couldn't MySQL ask me what password I want to use?
I'm new to Ubuntu Linux but have many years on windows platform. Please can someone help me with how to change the following items.
No.1 I would like to change the HORRIBLE!! YAK!! brown background color behind the word Ubuntu in the start up screen when the machine loads up (before the login). I have located the image file for this which I have found to be: /usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600. jpg but the OS says that root is the owner and that I don't have permission to change this. So how can I change this for a color I do like.
No.2 I would also like to change the login dialogue screen style. I know this is possible but again I'm fumbling to see how I can do this. I have tried with the start up manager but every attempt fails, the settings don't take. Once again I suspect permissions are at the bottom of the problem?
No.3 Would like to have a colorful splash screen image on boot up, I've managed to remove the old one (small white 3 ring ubuntu logo on black background) but havent been able to install or replace with a new one. Its been incredibly frustrating, I'm feel sure I'm missing something simple here. Wondering if its permissions yet again?
Anyone who can offer help on any of the above, guidance or advise me would be much appreciated. Please bear in mind that I'm still very much feeling my way with Linux so keep it simple.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with Apache, phpMyAdmin and MySQL. Normally phpMyAdmin loads properly, but the other day I created a large database of 6,000+ tables and 1.3 GB of data in the entire database. Now phpMyAdmin loads and shows my different databases, but if I try to open the new large database, it just loads a white page with no content. Does anyone know if I can reconfigure my server so it will be able to show parts of the database?
