hillct i got the static routs set up bit it asks for destination ip address ip subnet mask gateway ip address

say, anyone know of an off-the-shelf perl script that does what apache's mod_index does, inclduing reading the configs?

c2perl mod_index.c?

/var/www/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

great.. now... why don't you listen to your web server?

jMCg, but i've set /var/www/htdocs as the document root
ok, i've figured out jMCg

I'm a genious.

jMCg, genius

pfft

hey jMCg

jMCg is very limp

Off for a shadowrun now

!AddDefaultCharset
AddDefaultCharset?

AddDefaultCharset is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset

can the suexecusergroup directive take uid rather then uname?
and if no to the uid, can the uname contain characters like .'s and -'s

suexecusergroup

suexecusergroup is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_suexec.html#suexecusergroup http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_suexec.html#suexecusergroup

yeah looked there
doesnt mention

hello

what's up, phet.

is there any way to know if my apache is loading php?

check LoadModule lines or httpd -M

so it is loading php, but when I try to load a php file, it tells me the windows to save it

php?

is a scripting 'language' that is enabled by loading mod_php and by adding 'AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php' or you can look at http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHPDownload

I have it loaded, it appears in apache2 -M

nico was a bit disappointed
ups

is there any sense that apache doesnt let me load test.php but it lets when the file is some.php ?

clear your browser cache

I have a problem with LUCENE , is this the right channel to ask about this ?
Hello !!

my redirect is acting strange
i did a regex match for 0-9
but it only works for everything except 2
oh nm it's a php problem, sorry :p

what's the best hosting way to do a moved redirect from one filename to another?
ideally without mod_rewrite

hmm does someone use mod_cband? ive set "CBandRemoteSpeed 150kB/s 3 4" but its loading between 5 and 50 KB/s :/ I dont gt it really

I have a problem with LUCENE , is this the right channel to ask about this ?

i already had it that way, Hajjar.

i need to saerch multiple terms by multiple fields
term1:field1 and term2:field2
how to build query??
how can i build a query to search a multiple terms in multiple fields?
plz any body help me..

can you help me please

Hey can you setup ACL or something similar for Virtualhosts ? EG i only want 192.168.0.0/24 to access these webpages??

allow from

see allow

allow

allow is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_access.html#allow or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html#allow http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html

sweet thanks

is there a way that i can have error/access logs for userdir appear in the user's homedirectory?

you can do that with virtualhosts

with SetEnvIf and CustomLog with env-variable. but I guess that is bad idea, you spend filehandles and if user has write privileges to log file, it's a security risk

i want it just for the userdir's though
why is the user having write permissions on the log a bad thing?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/security_tips.html#serverroot

last paragraph before server hosting side includes

access to /~phpbbtest denied . It is sited in my public_html and I have used another users/public_html so far and all of them worked fine

rather place them in some other directory and give user read privileges
check file permissions, pastebin 'namei -m /path/to/phpbbtest/public_html' output if needed

oh, i see

3
in theory it is not a permissions problem

well, depends on other directories in the path
check the namei output and pastebin it if needed

aaah... hmm could it be that the mod_cband , build for apache 2.0 makes these strange problems on my machine, because that has apache 2.2 running?

you need to rebuild the module for 2.2

everything is ok
the cases is I can't even access to the publi_html

would you like to pastebin the output?

the pastebin of namei?

yeah
another possibility is missing Directory section allowing access to that public_html

lamp, http://pastebin.ca/607253

namei -
namei -m

namei -m is your friend

the public_html's apache rules were made and they worked fine for other users
lamp, you are the boss
arghhhhhhhhhh
that is the problem drwx------ phpbbtest

nice, problem solved

thanks a lot

Morning,
When setting up Virtual Hosts, is it possible to do ServerName mysql.* so that if I go to any domain that points to my server, it will then go to /var/web_utils/phpmyadmin ?

serveralias

serveralias is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#serveralias or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#serveralias

sweet :P thanks
Btw - is there a way with the sites-avaliable and sites-enabled directory to not have to restart Apache after every change?

no, every time you modify the config, you need to restart apache
apaachectl graceful

excuse me?

apachectl graceful

apachectl graceful is how you restart apache without dropping any client connections. Workers in keepalive will retain old config until they time out. Be patient, or set KeepAliveTimeout lower

oh, so that's how web panels like cPanel do it?

maybe.
I don't use cpanel or those frontends

no, nor me
so I do apachectl restart instead of /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, correct?

default layout

Pop along to http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout for an idea on where the main distros place Apache files.

you dstro mangled binary names and more config files all over the place
debian--
s/more/moved/

well, Ubuntu

Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'I can't configure Debian'

hehe

it's the same thing.

true true

or rather, it's the same mess

hi, i'm running fedora 7 with selinux (enforcing), trying to get symlinks working i discovered that all dirs in the symlink target path have to have httpd_sys_content_t context, am i right? is there some other way to make apache serve symlinked pages?

turn off selinux

as, so /etc/init.d/apache2 graceful ?

thats exactly what i dont want to do

else, what's the problem just assign those attributes
apache has to get access SOMEHOW

ah, /etc/inti.d/apache2 restart graceful

yes, but when i create files in these dirs they inherit the context...

I hope you're not asking how to do X without allowing X, because a little thinking solves that soon enough

as you can see, all the binaries are renamed

these dirs doesnt contain web content only...

then that's your problem right there
web content dirs should conatin only that

why do you insist on using selinux?

well when is it installed and i think selinux is basically making redhat system

so it's 'making' the OS, so you have to run it?

funny

Don't flatter yourself. You're not funny.

shut UP

Shutting up.

I am too teh funny

reorganize your stuff, don't mix web content with files you don't want to serve

yes, thats why i want to use symlinks targeting to some dirs contained in svn repositories for example

"some" dirs ?
how about serving svn proper with mod_svn ?
svn has full access control

svn

svn is see subversion

subversion

subversion is a revision control system intended as an easy-to-use, fully-functional replacement for the Concurrent Versioning System (CVS); for more information, see http://subversion.tigris.org/ or join #svn on Freenode. For complex [authorization] setups take a look at: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/208 or http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/index.html or http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.html

mod_svn, never heard of it, thanks

well

mod_svn

mod_svn is available for Apache 1.3

http://internetworkpro.org/pastebin/701

the module was not compiled properly
or against the wrong apxs

davixx your php cgi is fucked up

or for the wrong version of apache

why use it in the first place ?
it's noirmally teh crusty solution

thumbs, ok, trying to recompile mod_suphp

whu

adaptr, what you heard by "fucked up" ?

I heard nuffin

what version of apache are we dealing with here?

# apache2 -v
Apache/2.0.58
Jul 7 2007 15:37:05

your php cgi is fscked up

adaptr, ok... excuse me, apache 2.0.58 running with mod_suphp and php-4 cgi

Electrical conduits in machine room are melting.

davixx okay, all compiled from source by you ?

any reason why you don't use php5?

or mod_php

mod_php is see php

blame php

cgi is teh crusty

PHP should be presumed to be at fault until conclusively proven otherwise. And even thereafter, if it's convenient.

adaptr, gentoo

aaah

php under mod_php is a problem for me because php is not running with the users uid

"the users"

since you're using gentoo, do NOT use fancy flags

and it's your php that's crashing
#php

#php is thattaway. See the TOPIC for #apache!

still not

not is mandatory, but recomended

fajita forget not

thumbs, why are you thinking that i use fancy flags ?

niq is a bot too! now we can have little bot kids

because gentoo users like to do that in general

thumbs++

and it makes programs and libraries misbehave, most of the time

not to mention upgrading a pain in teh behind

well portage is quite good, actually

they invent flags at random

thumbs, it is not my case.

who are you calling a bot?

if not time consuming

many have duplikcates that DON'T do the same thing

good evening

if it is a good evening, which niq doubts

hi folks, I'm having quite some trouble creating two vHosts on my Ubuntu Feisty System - Alle vHosts semm to be redirected to the dir of vHost1... how can that be? what would I have to write into /etc/hosts and /etcapache2/sites-available | confs can be viewed at http://djdz.de or http://stc-oh.de

what file(s) did you edit, exactly?
default vhost

The first-listed virtual host is always the default one when using name based virtual hosts. See http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2004/01/08/apacheckbk.html for more details.

default layout

Pop along to http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout for an idea on where the main distros place Apache files.

read all those

I used webmin to create the vHost entries, they show up in webmin but don't work through browsers... I read in forums that I should add domain entries in /etc/hosts, so I did for each host
now I ghet an overlap error

each hostname needs to resolve
what does the error log tell you, exactly?

does anyone knows of an apache mod, which collects per-vhost traffic statistics (available via url), and provides few variables (besides default ones) to be used in logformat (bytes sent/received including headers for example)
i had that module once before, but forgot its whereabouts ever since

added the error to http://djdz.de/error.shell

that generates a 404
what does the error log tell you, exactly?

w8... owner issue..

apc

Try using http://apache.pastebin.ca - It's a good pastebin, and is even set up to highlight Apache 'stuff'.

use that instead

now

now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the ... oh, wait. now is now.

403
just use apache.pastebin.c
just use apache.pastebin.ca

great, now everything seems to be messed up

what is the most commonly used way of collecting vhost traffic stats, in terms of accounting?

RewriteEngine allowed on htaccess?

ok, then don't do anything about it
analysis

analog awstats webalizer visitors webtrax http-analyze awffull sawmill summary hitbox webtrends

^^
rewriteengine context

server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess

rewriteengine override

RewriteEngine may be used in .htaccess files if AllowOverride is set to FileInfo

thanks

Will the format be the same if it is in place in httpd.conf? I place my "RewriteEngine" rules inside a virtualhost

rewriteengine

rewriteengine is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteengine

but, using htaccess if you have access to the main config is not recommended
htaccess purpose

Don't confuse htaccess with password-protection. The purpose of htaccess is to enable users to configure apache locally for their own directories, when they have no privilege to do so in httpd.conf. Using htaccess slows the server. Also rewriterules and redirects are more complex in htaccess

thumbs, http://djdz.de/error

thumbs, on my localhost i have access to my .conf, but not on a remote server

ok.
faq1

exactly. For example, NameVirtualHost *:80 must be used with VirtualHost *:80

^^
when using htaccess, remove the leaving slash (/) from your rewrite rules
everything else is the same

thumbs, ?

thumbs, is not redirecting correctly

faq1

exactly. For example, NameVirtualHost *:80 must be used with VirtualHost *:80

what does that tell you, exactly?

thumbs thanks

I guess I have no idea... something is not matching..

sure

fajita thanks too

it tells you that your virtualhost definitions have to match your namevirtualhost definition
so I suggest you make sure they match
botsnack

but I can't find a nameVirtualHost directive anywhere..

because debian splits up the config in 3w4978295872395823982375982579283578 files

look there ^^
debian--

thumbs, hm, my default just show a nameVirtualHost *, do now have to add a NameVirtualHost for each vHost?
like NameVirtualHost djdz.de

no. not like that.

how?

Servername djdz.de /VirtualHost

must match exactly

most people use *:80

for my otehr domain.. correct?

right

hellooooooooooooooooooooooo

ok.

how are you

debian--
not bad.

Hi, dont know if this is the right place to ask. When creting a certificate here: http://www.rapidssl.com/resources/csr/Apache2.htm I need to type a password ... and it says that I need to enter it when starting the webserver ... its that really needed? that does not seem ease the use of the system ... if that password should be entered every time .. or am I missing something ?

is that correct or xx.xx.xxx.xxx:80?

sslpassphrasedialog

sslpassphrasedialog is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslpassphrasedialog

tag.

also, don't use NameVirtualHost *
use *:80 instead.

tag must match what NameVirtualHost uses. that's the important thing.

it describes an interface, as in ipaddress:port - like *:80

block's ServerName directive.

http://djdz.de

thanks

what does the error log tell you, exactly?

you can only have one NameVirtualHost directive, by the way.

jpeg, http://djdz.de/error
I have only one afaik

you seemed to have defined VirtualHost djdz.de:80
don't
instead, use VirtualHost *:80

in djdz.de.conf?

wherever it's defined.

we've tried to tell you a few different ways.... this is getting old.
faq1

exactly. For example, NameVirtualHost *:80 must be used with VirtualHost *:80

vhost examples

Look at these for examples http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/ExampleVhosts :: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html :: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/examples.html :: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/examples.html

DocumentRoot specifies where apache should look for content. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#documentroot or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot or default layout.

why /htdocs??

set the documentroot for your vhost properly
because it's set to /htdocs
I suspect you didn't read...
default layout

Pop along to http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout for an idea on where the main distros place Apache files.

and missed a couple of existing files debian has

it is set correctly pointing to /var/www/djdz.de/htdocs

sigh
DEBIAN HAS DEFAULT VHOST FILES
you should read them, use them, or comment out their contents

Default VHost Config :: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | that file originally said nothing But NameVirtualHost * | after editing it now says http://djdz.de/default
I don't get what you are trying to tell me..
there was nothing I could have commented out

also, /htdocs is the default docroot used by apache if not vhosts are defined

But how can they not be defined if they are defined in default just the way jpeg said it

perhaps you polluted httpd.conf or apache2.conf

never touched those two

i.e. set the servername, etc
I recommend you back up your whole config, scrap it, and reinstall the package.

Reinstalling won't help, because when w started with all of this it was a brand new install... including the rror

the default debian vhost doesn't just contain the namevirtualhost line.

yes, it will fix your issue
your config has major conflicts
you seem to be unable to fix it or listen to us, so this is what I recommende

hwt was the option again to delete everything --purge?

#debian

dpkg -P

or #ubuntu

#ubuntu is thataway -

ubuntu

ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'I can't configure Debian'

indeed

I can't even configure ubuntu... great
that sucks

well start with a clean config.
your current config is really messed up.

k, I'll do a reinstall... w8
-.- why does a apt-get remove apache2 leave all the files and drs in place?

#ubuntu

"purge"

because, for any distribution, config files are left where they are when removing a package

also, use aptitude and not apt-get

purge != remove

what's the point of asking about the "--purge" option, and then not use it?

allright... I'm gonna give up for now... I got guests and and don't wona be cursing around annoyed when they're sitting next to me ;-) GREAT THX for the advice guysand see you l8r

Good afternoon all

privet, olol.

I've observed an issue that may be apache related or may be mod_perl related but it appears that when built on an x86_64 box, apache 1.3.37 processes consume significantly more memory
as compared to the exact same build and config on an i386 box
is there a known memory management issue there or a build argument I need to be using under x86_64?
This issue seems to have cropped up after upfrading from FC2 to FC4 so it may have some compiler related componant

can som1 help me with my vhost configuration in windows area??

you do know that 1.3 is several years old?
start by speaking english properly.

yes. If I could use 2.x I would

anyhow, I do not run any 64 bit servers, so I did not witness your problem
did you compile it yourself?

yes

can someone here help me setting up vhost in apache?

ask

If you have an apache related question, please go ahead and ask it. We will not beat it out of you. We won't bite you either, at least until we get to know you better

any odd flags you might have used?

I've been doing this for many years. I didn't make any of the trivial build errors, although if there are special args for x86_64 that may not be fully documented, or something, I may have missed them

in any way, the mailing list might prove more useful, even even #httpd-dev

we solely deal with compilation issues here, much less on 64bit architecture

http://pastebin.ca/607464
I'll pass it off to the mailing list. thanks

I don't see anything odd in there.

there isn't
it's quite a somple build

fedora had sketchy compilers bundled in some releases

same with the mod_perl build
yeah
I'm actually leaning in that direction

can you replicate it on another machine?

with another distro?

similar enough distro, I guess
in terms of gcc and glibc versions

I can replicate it on any FC box with distro above FC2

anyone know how with mod_rewrite I can make all request from http://www.site.com/images/ pull from /var/www/site.com/public/images/ ?
so any image that is called for will be grabbed from that dir

no problem.
granny

Granny Weatherwax tells us the most important thing about magic is when _not_ to use it. The same is true of mod_rewrite.

it might too technical for this channel in any case. I'm sorry

yeah. thanks. I'll run it throuh the list

Anyone know why I would be getting "AliasMatch not allowed here" when putting "AliasMatch ^/icons(.*) /usr/local/apache/icons$1" at the top of my .htaccess file?

hmmm 64 mb for apache's log file is big, right?

is there a obvious reaon?
reason

not really

for one day of operation?

lol

well, it depends what it's logging

http://apache.pastebin.ca/607497 Why my mod_rewrite and .htacess aren't working? Note: the allow override was all

what log level are you using?

let me check

knock it down to warn

niihau, illegalc0de.

It is set to warn
omg

knock it down further

it has all POST action logged

what exactly is being loged?
oh
huh? That's not a warn behavior

i was wondering if anyone knew how or where to findut how to make my 2 computers have a dferent ip address on the net? i have 2 static ip addresses and i am running through a router.

is your app logging directly to the apache log?

find out^

your're right.. hmm
no
all requests are logged.. maybe the level is set in another conf file..

do you have multiple loglevel statements?
yeah
what you said
is your provider offering you two static IPs?

yes

I take it your router is doing NAT...

yep

what model of youter is it?

netgear DG834G v3

esentially, you'll want to configure your router to listen to both IPs and configure port forwarding for each IP to forward the relevent ports to each server

router

In order to access your web site behind a router, you must forward the port apache is listening on to your internal IP. Then you can access your site by pointing your browser to http://your external IP here:port. If your ISP blocks port 80, see 'port 80 redirection'. Instructions on how to forward a port using most common routers can be found at http://portforward.com

aliasmatch override

I see a "CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined" statement. Should I change/remove it?

aliasmatch

aliasmatch is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#aliasmatch or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#aliasmatch

probably not

aliasmatch context

server config, virtual host

fajita, customlog

customlog is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog

customlog doesn't directly impact which requests are logged so much as what out of each request is logged

Please, http://apache.pastebin.ca/607497 Why my mod_rewrite and .htacess aren't working? Note: the allow override was all

garbage

try putting junk in your htaccess file. If it's being read, you will get an Internal Server Error when accessing that resource.

Thank you for the help.

docs are always a good start

Ok, the file isn't being read at all... in httpd.conf mod rewrite is allowed... any idea about what to do?

directory /

is a filesystem directory, not a URL path. If you put options in this block, don't be surprised when whatever you're trying to do doesn't work.

set Allowoverride FileInfo on the proper directory

hillct, i got the static routs set up bit, it asks for destination ip address, ip subnet mask, gateway ip address and metric. do you know if this is the right bit and if so what to put in each? i have no idea what the subnet mask is for the net and im guessing the gateway would be the ip that i want to have the computer on and the destination ip would be the computers internal ip. right?

what IP range is used in your network behind the router?

192.168.0.xxx

ok
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

yep

metric is probably 1

metric is equivelent to the hop count, more or less

t and if so what to put in each? i have no idea what
the subnet mask is for the net and im guessing the gateway would be the ip that i want to have the computer on

it's not static routes, but port forwarding that you need though

sorry, middle click

is correct. Sounds as though you may be editing the wrong area of the router config. You need port forwarding, not static routes

my router set up doesnt seam to have port forwarding

odd. most NAT aware routers do these days

seem that the dir had a typo

no matter what i do, it seems that my apache is spawning threads which take up the better part of my cpu, for a past where my cpu rarely went above 5%. how can i figure out what is causing this? ive tried rebooting, with no success

\o/ Error 500!!!

what does the error log say, exactly?

VPN Wizard, VPN Poli

I celebrated cause the error 500 was about the garbage... so... the mod_rewrite is working now
T-T finally

check services
then we'll look at advanced

docs paid off. I commented out the CustomLog lines and bye bye access.log

ok.

Name, Type (tcp,udp,tcp/udp), Start Port, Finnish Port
nothing to do with watching ips

that's for opening incoming ports though

Finish^
ok

lets look at advanced

have you lookup your router model at portforward.com?
portforward.com has guides for several router models

jpeg, no i dont know anything about this at the moment

try it

will do

WAN Setup, Dynamic DNS, LAN IP Setup, Remote Management, Static Routes, UPnP.

interesting site. Hadn't seen it before.
lan IP setup

had the same problem with apache 1.3.x ... upgraded to 2.2.x and the problem went away .... ( the cpu problem )

lets see if it lets you mange multiple external IPs
not all low end routers allow that

hillct, no thats all to do with the internal network ip settings

alas, i am allready rinning 2

brb im gona read portfarward.com

and now there is many little processes that gobbles up my cpu
and i know for a fact that there arent that many people looking at my server

disable some modules, and see what happens

ok it doesnt have anything that i can see about setting up multiple ips

hmmm, dont know then ... the problem I had would kill the server in matter of hours ... during the day ... at night it would take several hours since nobody uses it at night ..

it's possible that your router doesn't support management of multiple external IPs
not all low end routers do
I know there are some SonicWall products that do

my isp sent me that router when they offered me the package. so i thougt it would be able to.

I'm having some trouble with mod_rewrite. I'm trying to redirect requests from /~rigdern/cake/ to /~rigdern/cake/app/webroot/ (server URL)
so the first problem was that my rule created a filepath (/Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/). This file existed but apache gave a 404

network - where the linux box is also wired into the web server

you could use an alias

so I did a RewriteBase so that /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake became /~rigdern/cake When this was in affect, apache was able to find the file
However, with the rule I'm using, mod_rewrite reinjects my new URL due to the RewriteBase

and have the linux box do the work for the ips and just use the router for the wireless network
no i can't do that cause i have no modem lol

and it creates an infinite loop because the new URL is within the URL that the rule is applied to

use an alias instead
alias

alias is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias

an alias might work for this
but I also have to apply a rule within to rewrite folders after index.php to URL parameters
so /x/y/z/index.php/some/args would become /x/y/z/index.php?arg1=some&arg2=args
which an alias wouldn't work for
and I think I would still need the RewriteBase and end up with an infinite loop

rewritecond

rewritecond is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond

use that.
see this page for examples
rewriteguide

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/ http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html http://rewrite.drbacchus.com/ http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

I skimmed through the RewriteCond documentation already and I didn't see anything
can you be more specific as to which part would be useful to me?

which version of apache are you using?

1.3

1.3 is the 1998 release of apache. Do you use Windows 98? Slackware 4? Redhat 5?

Mac OS X

Mac OS X is +a unix. Unix filesystems are case sensitive

yeah, and mac os x filesystems aren't
there's some wierdness with that in the apple apache config
what was the exact error that you got when you did the rewrite to the filesystem path?
verbatim

Verbatim means "word for word" "copy and paste". It means we want the exact error message from the error log. That also means use a pastebin for 3 lines. Ask me about 'apc' for which pastebin to use.

1 second
File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/

that's not the complete line
however, it's probably true

5 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.103] File does not exist:
that's not the path I expected. in the browser it just said /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/ was not found

browser error messages are useless
always look in the error log

yea, I'll keep that in mind

so it was putting it under you docroot
what rewriterule was that? and in what context? (server, directory, .htaccess)

what do you mean by directory?

inside directory

brb just doing a router upgrade

directive

yea, directory then

ah, ok, then it gets rewritten with rewritebase
mod_rewrite acts completely differently in directory context than in server context
if you want to rewrite in directory context to an absolute filepath, you need to put a / in the substitution
rewriterule relative/to/directory /absolute/filesystem/path

well i think the only diff is that the old target doesn't understand the / url path

no, it also uses rewritebase
mod_rewrite

mod_rewrite is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html or see http://rewrite.drbacchus.com/

ok yeah, rewritebase
which you don't actually have to use either

no, but it makes a difference
look at the chart near the bottom of that page
"Inside per-directory configuration"
in particular the difference betwee
^localpath(.*) otherpath$1
and
^localpath(.*) /otherpath$1
note that in case 1, rewritebase was prepended, and in case 2 it wasn't
rewriterule (.*) $1 in directory context,
it prepends rewrite base
rewriterule (.*) /$1
it doesn't, although that's probably not what he wants either
probably:
rewriterule (.*) /place/where/to/find/$1

RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/$1 [L]
but it's still prepending the DocumentRoot

it shouldn't do that
of course, you are using 1.3

this is expected in 1.3?

i wonder if that makes a difference
i don't remember, it's been aeons
1.3 is so last tuesday
according to the docs, it should work the same in 1.3

should being the operative word

yeah
should?

should is ="please do this; it's not required, but it makes life better"

no, fajita, should is who bloody knows?

You have no access to change factoids

just as well

like an isp should be able to keep their service up and running and not have outages every week
comcast--
ouch

did you try enabling rewriterule?
argh
rewritelog

rewritelog is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritelog http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritelog. Use this logging to help design and track rewrite; see also rewriteloglevel; and cannot be used from .htaccess

did it give you any wierdness with that rewriterule?

it's enabled, let me check what it said

always good

rewriteloglevel

rewriteloglevel is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteloglevel. RewriteLogLevel 9 is log everything...

I don't see anything odd and it's at level 9
internal redirect with /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/ [INTERNAL REDIRECT]
that's after the rule is applied

that's ugly

[ns]

[ns] is No Subrequesta rewrite flagee mod_rewrite

then what?

then it shows some pattern I didn't write
(3) applying pattern '.*' to uri '/Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/'

not-matched

(1) pass through /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/
and then it goes on to the favicon so it's done processing my URL

and your rewriterule does not have [R] or [PT]?
it was exactly as you wrote it above?

greetings. Can I put comments in a .htaccess file? If so, what is the format to use?

# hi, i'm a comment. ignore me.

it was exactly what I pasted

wierd
can you pastebin the entire rewritelog for that request?
like, empty your rewritelog file and try the request

yea

brb

http://apache.pastebin.ca/607575
there's actually a second rule which is almost the same. It does the redirect when a specific file in cake is not specified
I put it in the paste

well, that's yukky

I tried making a symbolic link to Users in /Library/WebServer/Documents but I still get the 404

does the error log complain about symlinks?
rewriterule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

well that's odd, now the symlink worked

browser cache

Browser caches can be very persistent. Restarting the browser, or even rebooting, will not necessarily clear the cache. You must expressly clear the cache via the menus.

you told me I should put an absolute path there
in the rules

i didn't realize the path was inside your directory

context

i'm pretty sure you said it was in server context, but perhaps i misunderstood
sorry

You will be!!

points too?

hillct, no my router does not suport more than one ip address

bummer. Gotta get a new one

any good ones?
netgear dont do any that i can use with one phone line

the issue is not quite resolved

Hi, what could be a reason for my .htaccess file to be ignored by Apache2? If I change the main configuration file changes work. Server root is /var/www/ I have .htaccess in /var/www/html/work2/.htaccess Apache completely ignores it and there is not a single message in the error.log. What could be the problem?

AllowOverride at httpd.apache.org/docs

allowoverride

AllowOverride tells Apache what things you wish to permit in .htaccess files. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride

Thank you.

test

Rigdern, there is #test FYI
Thanks a lot for help. Got it working.

for some reason, all of my messages in #apache weren't showing up (but they did in #test)

eh?
excuse

Satan did it

lol

yeah, that satan...
dern troublemaker

/Users/rigdern/Sites/cake and /~rigdern/Sites are now both valid URL's

satan++

and when the rewrite rule is applied, all of my scripts get /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake as the URL

mmm, cake!

Can I eat the adaptr now?

so when they try to get images and css files using the full path, the print /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake instead of the /~rigdern/cake
so they are printing the filepath instead of the URL

is it possible to password protect a directory listing, but not the files themselves?

and when /Users/rigdern/Site/cake is requested, the rewrite rule doesn't occur so my images and other resources aren't being found
and I'm going to need my cake back

scope

section, or a Location, perhaps. or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/configuring.html#scope or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/configuring.html#scope

well I'm actually confused between URL's and filepaths
if I type a URL into my browser and it's not found, apache says The requested URL /~rigdern/blah was not found on this server.
If I type a URL into my browser that gets rewritten and can't be found, apache says The requested URL /Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/app/webroot/blah was not found on this server.
notice the first error gives a URL and the second one gives a filepath
I would think that all 404 errors should spit out a URL and not a filepath

nope. They're both URLs. That's what's wrong: the second one doesn't map to a filepath
(at a guess; I didn't see your original problem)

Will sir have chillies and garlic with that

yes

/Users/rigdern/Sites/cake/ is the path in my file system
/~rigdern/cake/ is the path I'd type into my web browser
they are both URL's?

can we see your config? sorry if you've pasted it already

aaargh!

quick! More boiling oil

aha, that'll be for the noodls. mmm

http://apache.pastebin.ca/607611

seeing a full filesystem path when using mod_rewrite in conjunction with mod_rewrite is typically an indication that mod_rewrite got confused about its base uri and lumped for r-filename indead.

wtf are you trying to do with rewriterules?

I'm trying to change /~rigdern/cake/ to /~rigedrn/cake/app/webroot/
that's the first 1
the second one is basically the same

cake-- rails done badly in every way

/~rigdern/cake/somefile to /~rigdern/cake/app/webroot/somefile

the first one's redundant, and you don't have a RewriteBase /~you/

better with documentroot or alias

if I RewriteBase, it'll turn into an infinite loop

granny

Granny Weatherwax tells us the most important thing about magic is when _not_ to use it. The same is true of mod_rewrite.

alright, so I'll look at alias
but there's still a couple of rules have to use mod_rewrite which I haven't put into the config file yet
so I'm wondering if these will result in an infinite loop as well

you're fighting a losing battle by trying to use an ancient version of apache with mod_userdir (on mac os x which has extra wierdness iirc) and mod_rewrite. let alone mod_php.. at least you're not using htaccess files, i guess.
still, sounds like a fun battle

I didn't realize it was such a big battle

noodl is a knight in shining armour and will fight your battle

voodoo

see mod_rewrite

wait for the next version of mac os x. you'll have a modern version of apache, and rails, not some crappy php knockoff

I know what this rule is supposed to do but I don't understand how it works yet. I'm just wondering if it might result in an infinite loop like the other one
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

that'll could end up looping. i'd try adding RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
shouldn't be necessary but in your case it might help

lol, alright
thanks for the help

rewriterules are for looping!
excuse?

The vendor put the bug there.

my thing i am compiling requires apxs .....it needs apache 2 but i dont think it realizes it is now apxs2
can i just rename it ?

your destribution renamed apxs

blame debian

as usual

debian--

can i jus rename the exe ?

karma debian?

debian has karma of -243

i would ln -s it, rather than renaing it
or better, use "--with-apxs" as a ./configure switch
if it exists

can anyone tell me where I can read some documentation that explains how httpd processes get launched and are maintained? I've got 21 httpd's running, and that just seems like too many

minspareservers

minspareservers is Ahttp://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/prefork.html#minspareservers

that URL, and related

thanks!

and generally
performance tuning

performance tuning is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/perf-tuning.html

so, am i correct in assuming that i have 21 processes because at some point all 21 were active? and apache launched them to handle the load?

probably

probably is the same as 'definitely not' when dealing with important or critical applications - if you're not sure, don't let 'probably' suffice

what mpm are you using?

rici, sorry for being ignorant, but what's "mpm"?

mpm

mpm is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mpm.html or Multi-Processing Modules or sexyhandyhandy

I'm on linux, so it looks like prefork is the default

just do httpd -V

jpeg, ok, yep, prefork

are you familiar with the config file at all? you'll find these parameters within...

jpeg, I know enough to get a site up and running, but I fall short in the performance tuning side of the config

forgive me for saying so, but it sounds like your sites aren't busy enough to require performance tuning then.
in any case, the parameters are pretty in your face in the config file...
you can't miss 'em

jpeg, that's probably true, i'm just trying to figure out why i've got all of these memory-hogging httpd's running when they seem unecessary ... they're pushing me into swap memory and the performance hit is noticable

you can try to lower Min/MaxSpareServers
but not too much
and maybe MaxClients

yeah ... the other answer may simply be that i need more RAM ... 512MB probably is too little

worker MPM is much more memory-efficient

even if it wasnt by itself, it would be because it excludes php
blame php

PHP should be presumed to be at fault until conclusively proven otherwise. And even thereafter, if it's convenient.

yeah, 21 processes isn't that many

rici, ok, that's good to know

21 would be a lot if you had just 4Mb RAM
(as my first apache box had)

well, yeah.

Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using cain.homr.net for ServerName mean i need a PTR record for it to work correctly?

servername

servername is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#servername or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#servername

my 21 apache's are taking about 80M, i think
maybe less

I have javascript installed on my computer. If I type "js -f hello.js" then "hello, world" appears. I would like to have this hello file run as a cgi script. Is there a very easy way to do this?
I don't think there is a way to use a shebang line in a JavaScript file

I have a NameVirtualHost vhost answering *:80 at www.domain.com and another vhost answering at ip:80. When I go to http://www.domain.com I get the one answering on the ip. I'd really like the ip-based one to only answer if it's actually the host sent across

I think that's what __DEFAULT__ is for

ditch the ip based one, make it the first loaded vhost instead.
like supaplex said, it'll be the default vhost and respond to ip requests, and it'll be respond to named requests as well

jpeg/supaplex: thanks

why can't you use a shebang line in javascript?
does it not ignore it?
if you're using spidermonkey, it works fine. at least
wfm

Works For Me

jpeg/Supaplex: yeah, got the apache config working like I wanted now. Thanks.

rici I didn't think # would be a valid first character. I'll try!

it's not documented anywhere, but then that's not a surprise

amazing. It works!

always good to just give these things a try

thanks

hi how do you change the server name in apache2.2
I can't find the direcitve in any of the files

error log

Look for the ErrorLog directive in your configuration file. Common locations include /var/log/apache/error_log, /var/log/httpd/error_log, /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log, and "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache/[version]/logs/error.log"

step one

whatever the problem, step one is to look in the error log (and any other logs that may apply, such as suexec, mod_rewrite, or mod_security).

thanx a lot but I have to go

*shrugs*

I'll get back if I get stuck again

Is there some weird interaction between the ServerAlias and Proxy directives such that requests using the host name specified with ServerAlias don't get proxied?

no
but it seems unlikely to me that you really want to use a proxy directive

Hmmm.

Hmmm. is ,you wanting apache2 with php mysql perl, etc

unless you mean proxypass or [P] in a rewriterule

Er, yeah, ProxyPass
Is there a good place to paste for this channel?

then there's no wierd interaction. the problem is elsewhere
apc

Try using http://apache.pastebin.ca - It's a good pastebin, and is even set up to highlight Apache 'stuff'.

When I request a url with www.codersatwork.com it works fine; when I request via codersatwork.com it falls back to the default site.

any people speak spanish

error log?

When I had the same basic config file but serving the site statically, both hostnames worked.

ServerAlias maybe?

Let me check.

where i can find apache-1.3.x.tar.gz

namevirtualhost * might give apache a better hint, assuming some other virtualhosts exist that aren't in the paste?

I finally got it to work. thanks for the help before

congrats

rici, you can help me?

you mean instead of VirtualHost * ?

do not pm without asking for permission

in addition to -- they go together -- Read the documentation for name based virtualhosts

el hecho es que tengo que irme.

hmmm, which error log should I look in. There's nothing in the codersatwork error log which makes sense since it's apparently not being handled by that virtual host.

talvez hay alguien en #apache-es

rici hablas español?
solo necesito na cosa
de donde saco el paquete para compilar el apache en mi unix

como se dice STFW?

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

hmmm, the other virtual hosts on that machine, which are configured about the same way, work as I'd expect. The only difference is they aren't proxied.

gracias

de nada

muy amable
jpeg, que version instalo?

2.2.4

2.2.4 is recommended

ok
voy a probar de compilarlo
conocen alguna guia de instalcion actualizada?
todas hacen referencia a la version 1.3

there is a readme for 2.2, there is an INSTALL and README in the tar

apache2.conf Includes /etc/apache2/conf.d/ which contains virtual.conf which has NameVirtualHost *
So that should be set, right?

plus ./configure --help, kTnU
it's easy

ok, pense q debia compilar todo junto
apache, php y mysql

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html
apache first, then php then mysql
bbiab

thank toy
you

What, me??

what's up, nulb.

if i put ngnix to my ipv6 enabled box can it work as a gw to access my ipv4 server?

Hmmm. If I remove the default virtual host, all is well. But I'm still not clear why it worked when the site wasn't proxied.

I want to start and stop apache2 on Ubuntu, but it says that I have to install apache (apachectl -k graceful ) , when I already have the package apache2.Man, its a lot easier on Windows.

i can pm you?

cmon

Is there an easy way to start and stop apache2 on Ubuntu? I found "apachectl -k graceful", but I get the message, "The program 'apachectl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt-get install apache"

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

unlink, Thanks a lot. How can I just stop it? Like this, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" ?

stop

HAMMERTIME!

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
all services are started/stopped in that manner
if you prefer, you can use invoke-rc.d

unlink, Okay, thanks for your help. I just found "* Usage: /etc/init.d/apache2 {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}"

sudo invoke-rc.d service-name command, where service name is something like apache2

my app requires apsx
apsx
but in debian its apxs
can i jus rename it ?

probably not.
in fact, I'd check to make sure it runs on apache2.x

anyone mind taking a quick look at the apache conf at the bottom of http://antony.lesuisse.org/qweb/trac/wiki/AjaxTerm mine is similar, but proxypass fails... any ideas? thanks
no error, it just does not kick in at all... the modules are loaded

jpeg, i am sorry i mean its apxs2 in debian debian people renamed it

it tries to load an html file at the usual url instead of redirecting

I guess you could try then *shrug*
