Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A Home Web For Personal Site Using 11.04 And Apache
Jul 23, 2011
I am trying to set up a home web server for my personal site using Ubuntu 11.04 and Apache. I have set up a user called www and given it FTP access to its home area (/home/www) using vsftpd. I then edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and set the DocumentRoot directive to /home/www. When I made a test index.html file in that directory it worked fine. Then I FTP'd to the server (as www) from another PC and uploaded the site files. Now when I try to access the site I get an error 403 (forbidden).Obviously I'm doing something wrong here but I'm not sure what. What should I do to fix this.

I have a simple issue that I think can be solved with several different methods. I basically want to create a personal server solution that allows me to do two things:
1.) I want to be able to remotely backup data to my server.
2.) I want to be able to pass traffic through it and use it as a proxy.
I am off to college next year and I want to leave a computer/server back home to do the two things stated above. I was thinking of using an Asus Eee Box PC like this:url
I want a low power reliable machine that will only be used as a remote solution. I won't be hooking up a monitor to it (that is, after I set it up).
It will be on 24/7 for easy access.
I will be accessing this server from a Windows 7 based machine.
I do not mind at all installing Linux on my server, but I am not an experienced coder so I will need software with a GUI that can help me set this all up.

Is it possible to setup apache to normally block an IP from accessing a site until that IP is in a database/file?More or less, I need a login system that another script can add/remove the IPs and the site can be accessed by only those IPs.

Im trying to just set up my web page so it can be seen on my local home Lan (then Ill try to get it on the internet). I can see the site it on my pc but other network users cant.
They can ping my computer but cant telnet to it on port 6060 (thats the one is set the server up on)
What's wrong with my configuration its mostly the default with a few changes that I hoped would make the site work.
My ip 192.168.1.10
Here is the sites-available default file

For the few thousands of people who have a little too much time on their hands who create personal web servers and host them using their local ISP on dynamic IP addressees.... what does the future hold for me.. {COUGH} ... I mean, them when IPv6 rolls out?

On Fedora 12, I guess this is a security setting. How do I get Apache to pick up more than one website in my document root directory. It only picks up one and denies me permission to view the others on my document root directory. This problem doesn't exist in XAMMP. How do I go about it please.

I installed apache on my local machine to test my sites. I have one problem:I created a new site configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available and enabled it. The problem is that cgi is not working, it just prints the content of the files. (The default location for cgi, /usr/lib/cgi-bin works without problem.)Here is the content of the site configuration file:
Code:
<VirtualHost *site1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
[code]....

I've set up Apache on my Fedora 12 machine and have got it working on my internal IP (localhost/192.168.0.15) however, when I try to access it through my external IP I am taken to my router login page.
What do I need to do to route my external IP to my internal static IP of 192.168.0.15?

Vanilla install of Karmic (64 bit) - would like to change the Apache doc root to point to /home/sam/www as it's my web development machine. (Default install is working fine)
Created copy of 'default' to 'mylocal' in '/etc/apache2/sites-available'
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/sam/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/sam/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
...
The permissions on the folder in my home dir:
Code:
sam@rocket:~$ ls -la ww*
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 sam sam 4096 2010-01-09 22:26 .
drwx------ 35 sam sam 12288 2010-01-09 22:11 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sam sam 100 2010-01-09 22:27 index.html
sam@rocket:~$ pwd
/home/sam
sam@rocket:~$
The sites enabled set up:
Code:
root@rocket:/etc/apache2# ls -la sites-enabled/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-09 22:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2009-12-20 00:22 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2010-01-09 22:24 mylocal -> ../sites-available/mylocal
But I still get:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server".

I have a problem setting up Postfix on my home (behind Router/firewall) Ubuntu driven server, I have been trying for days now with no luck. All I would like to do is use the server to send mail (MTA). So while installing I configured it as a satellite system.
file:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
settings:
myhostname = mail.example.com
mydomain = example.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
[code]....
I'm getting a 553 From address not verified. I have tried what it suggested from the URL link, but it still doesn't work.

I'm trying to setup eRuby on my Apache server, and I'm having problems. Currently, I have this in a separate config file in "/etc/httpd/conf.d/eruby.conf":
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
Action application/x-httpd-eruby /cgi-bin/eruby
DirectoryIndex index.rhtml
I have a file named "index.rhtml" in a folder called "test" that's in the root of my server. When I try to get to the file I get this, though:
Code:
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/eruby/test/index.rhtml on this server.

I'm setting up my Debain machine to host my homepage, and I have installed Apache 2.2, and a browser-based GUI for it called Webmin. I have a domain name with co.cc, it is www.patmore.co.cc. On the domain name site, there are two fields for name servers. Presently, they are set to the name servers for my hosting company. Apache is working on my machine. When I type my host name in my browser, it goes to index.html in the document root, as it should. When I key in my Debain machine's IP address on another machine on the same network, it also goes to index.html.
Attached, there is a screenshot of the Virtual Server Details in the Webmin GUI. I think I have the server name set right, but what do I type in the Address field? What do I need to type in for my name servers on the domain name site?

I'm trying to setup puppet to install and configure apache on several servers. Having found: [URL] I thought I was onto something. However I'm a little lost, does anyone know of or can anyone write a small howto on how to get this module working on certain nodes. My current state is puppet is running and connected to the puppetmaster. I can do simple things but the apache install have lost me a little.

I've installed Fedora 12 Desktop in order to develop a simple website, which is going to use some PHP.
I will need:code editor to write html/css/php local apache server running php browser how to get me up and running in no time with least extra configurations.
Bonus: I'm going to run all this in a virtual box on my company computer. I'd love to be able to stay undercover with this, so if one of you can tell me how to configure the apache server not to be too visible to the company network/domain, that'd be excellent.

I have installed Ubuntu on four machines at work and have been blown away. On my machine I have Apache setup for web development and other machines can "see" it using my IP address. I would like to have it so they can access by the name of my computer though. I have no local DNS server so I guess I need to hard code the relationship in each machine? Ideally I'd actually like to be able to use subdomains (which I use locally to avoid annoying .htaccess path problems). i.e. from another machine on the network to go to [URL].

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?

I want to automaticly set the group ownership of user home directories to a group that the user is not part of. This is so that Apache can be part of this group and can access user public HTML directory, but other users are not able to access in any way the files in the users home directory. What I have seen that works manually is adding the user and then changing the group for the home directory. But I want to automatically set this when the user account is created. WHat I see happening is that when /etc/skel is copied, it automatically sets the group and ownership of everything to the users default group and ownership. I've seen some suggestions on setting permissions, but these don't seem to work because it seems that users are able to cd into a directory and not list it, but if they know the file name they can access the file.

I am replacing a home network - Windows Server 2003 and 5 PCs (XP Pro) with UBUNTU 10.4 LTS Server and client versions. I am keeping a couple of the PCs with dual boot until I can migrate everything over (Having some issues with iTunes, Family Tree Maker, Media serving, DVD decrypt and a couple of others, but that is for another post). It was great fun getting the server up and running using only shell commands. Took me ages just to get a folder shared! Migrating the data over from NTFS to ext3 was also fun given the limited space on the partitions.
I really only want to use the server for communal network type things ... central user account maintenance, shared folders for music, video etc and data backup. I don't need it to be performing server functions on the Internet e.g. web server etc although that may come later. How I set up central user management? All the PCs are currently setup with local user ids, and it is a bit of a pain to go round each PC every time I change something.
The server is not always up, so I need to be able to log into the local PC without it being active. I was using Active Directory on Server 2003, but I don't need anything that complex really ... just 3 or 4 users to manage. I have been looking at the setup tutorial at [URL] but am not sure how relevant a lot of it is. I have SSH setup so I can login remotely, NFS is working to share the folders, but that is about all I have done so far.

I've been playing around with stuff lately, and I was thinking that I could theoretically move my personal files to another partition, have it mount under /home/User... then change the system partition to 6 or 7GB and go about my merry way...That way, if I need to reinstall the os, or when the next release comes out, or even install another primary system, I could just wipe the system partition and keep all my data on the HD...just make an fstab entry like:
Code:
/dev/sda3 /home/User btrfs default 0 2
or something, and them BOOM! it's done. I am the master of my domain.

I have changed to ubuntu a few months ago from windows, where I used to have a mediawiki set up on a local server. This wiki was used for notes, archiving, document management, file storage, calendaring, almost everything that most people do with a normal directory tree on their drives.
Unfortunately, I have not yet managed to install a local media wiki on my ubuntu 10.04 LTS system so far. I have tried it once and messed up the php-stuff so badly that I had to reinstall the entire system in order for it to work in a acceptable speed.
how to set up a current version mediawiki (or an older version, if that's the only chance) as a local wiki in 10.04 LTS? There is no network access to the wiki, just local access using a firefox browser on the machine where it is installed.

I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum. I'd like to open this to discuss server administration, server setup, and server maintenance. However, I have a pretty good start on all of those but serving a domain name to my static ip. Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.
[code]...
I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.

last week I decided to not just run dist-upgrade, but give the Lynx a completely fresh install. Before that I've only copied my home folder to an external hard-drive.
Now that I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 I have no clue how to import my old personal key and the passwords from the backup (my old home folder).

I have created some little .deb packages which are running fine within my local box. Now I like to create a personal repo for testing branch to distribute those .deb. I have a hosting space based on cetos server where I have both ftp as well as ssh access and I can create a subdomain there pointing to a folder which I can define. So based on this scenario what might be the best way for me to create a debian signed repo ? I have found
- dpkg-scanpackages
- reprepro
Which can create such repo for testing branch; as main non-free contrib style.
