head

works too if you have LWP installed or wget -S or http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/WatchingHttpHeaders

hmm why do i get the premature end of script headers error?? i didnt get them on the old webserver..

then keep using it
there are many reasons why you could get those.
Maybe your CGIs are not executable
maybe they incldue some library dependencies not installed on the new server
whatever

hi all, I'm getting [warn] NameVirtualHost old-dns:443 has no VirtualHosts when I restart apache, which .conf do I need to change to fix this? can't find it anywhere in the apache docs

that depends what you mean bu "fix"
its warning you (not an error) that you've defined NameVirtualHost but not used it

well, I wnat to set the conf up so I don't get this warning ofcourse
ah ok
so, what exactly is the NameVirtualHost looking for? I understand it has to do with setting up multiple websites under a single server?

blocks

NameVirtualHost

NameVirtualHost is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost or You must specify only one NameVirtualHost directive, hopefully with an IP address or a *. It says on which interfaces should Apache listen to name based vhosts requests, nothing more.
NameVirtualHost is a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost"http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost/a or a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost"http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost/a or You must specify only one NameVirtualHost directive, hopefully with an IP address or a *. It says on which interfaces should Apache listen to name based vhosts requests, nothing more.

haha

in what way?

but, in which file do I set this NameVirtualHost? (I understand best is to give it the dedicated ip hosting of my server?)

that depends on whether you actually want to use it or not
what are you actually trying to do?

well, it depends on how the rather mysterious request matching system works. Allegedly he 'NameVirtualHost' has to be given in the name based 'VirtualHost' stanza too.

well, I think some time ago I set it to some vallue, now I just wont to get rid of the error durring restart, so I want to set it up "default" I guess

NameVirtualHost should only occur once for each IP address you wish to use Name-Based Virtual Hosting on

It may not be as simple as that...

just comment it out then. I'll be in httpd.conf somewhere
trust me, it is

I can't find it there ( /etc/apache2/httpd.conf that is)
q

Suppose that we have two IP addresses, 192.168.1.1 and 182.168.1.2 and Apache is listening on both.

then its in one of the files Included into that config
you'd have 2 Listen statements and 2 NameVirtualHost statemens
or, one of each if you're using wildcards

this is my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf http://pastebin.ca/597226

that isn't right. Which platform are you using ?

debian

debian is "we complicate it for you so you don't have to" or see /usr/share/doc/apache*/README.Debian* or http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Platform/DebianLike

haha

0' stanza, with 'ServerName WWW.Example.com' and 'ServerName
and someone connect to 192.168.1.1 and has 'Host: WWW.Example.com'. What happens?

that would be syntactically incorrect - you can only have one ServerName per VirtualHost
you'd have to use ServerAlias for any additional hostnames.

the second one is a 'ServerAlias' of ourse, don't be dense. Also 182.168.1.1 should be 192.168.1.1

in addition, if that was the _only_ virtualhost, then all requests that match 192.168.1.1 will be served by that vhost, regardless of hostname used.
assuming you don't have a main_server config

so the 'Host:' header would be ignored?

for working out which vhost block to use, yes. But it will still be used to create self-rererential links
*self-referential

hmm, there is no /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian* :/

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

how do i turn off loglevel warn

ahhh very interesting. So the role of 'NameVirtualHost' is to prevent the 'Host:' header be used to perform a role in matching the 'VirtualHost' stanza?

hmm wait

to allow, not to prevent

yes
you can change it, but I don't think you can disable it

thats what i meant
but i inadvertently asked that question here
i think its a php setting

LogLevel

LogLevel is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#loglevel or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#loglevel

thats screwing me over

that's moderately remarkable.

php has its own logging settings
what is?

only thing in apache2.conf I can find about virtual hosts is: # Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*
should I comment that line out then?

that 'Host:' plays no role in matching stanzas unless 'NameVirtualHost' is used for the target dedicated ip hosting address.

then its in one of those files
why should it?

make me wonder that 'NameVirtualHost *:*' should be the default in 1997.
well it should because this is not 1992, but 2007, and 'Host:' has been a standard part of HTTP 1.1 and some 1.0 backports for a decade...

ok, found it

also because of historical accident 'NameVirtualHost' seems aamzingly misnamed...

NameVirtualHost is used when you have a single IP address with several, different, DNS entries pointing to it, and you want Apache to be able to work out which content (ie: VirtualHost) a client is actually after

now to get costumized error responses enabled

If you have 1-to-1 mappings between hostname and ip address host address, you have no need for using NameVirtualHost

but which DNS entries matters not a bit to HTTP, or to an HTTP server. All that matters is target IP address and the 'Host:' header if present.

RewriteRule ^artist/([^/]+)$ /index.php?artistlist=$1 [R=301]
isn't matching numbers
i mean artists which start with a number

sure it does. you can't talk to a server without a hostname in the URL

given those two actually three (port, receiving IP and 'Host:') the HTTP server must select a stanza. it is sort of interesting that Apache will ignore 'Host' except on target IP/port combinations tagged by 'NamedVirtualHost'

having said that, if your client isn't setting the Host: header, its usually a bad sign

«you can't talk to a server host without a hostname in the URL» that's completely wrong...

ah nm it's not an apache proble
problem*

in effect all that matters there is static ip hosting address and port number. Th DNS name one uses in thr URL/URI is totally absent from the HTTP protocol.

you may get undefined results out of a server if you connect to it by IP address only

no, the results are entirely well defined.

for precicely the reasons why the Host header is used

I suspect that you are confusing the common fact that browsers set the 'Host:' header to be the DNS name used in the URL. But that is just a convenience. I can give you an example if you want.

I suggest you read the virtual hosting documentation if you don't understand the differences between them.

perhaps you should try a little experiment to learn about the roles of the hostname in the URL and in 'Host:'
try this: 'telnet www.sabi.co.uk' and then type 'GET / HTTP/1.1' and then 'Host: www.tidraso.co.uk' and then a blank line.
and then the same with 'Host: www.caledyn.com'

I know what would happen, but thats not how Web Browsers work

you will get two completely different pages, and neither of them has any relationship to the content of the 'www.sabi.co.uk' page.

guys, i have a clean installation of ubuntu-server with apache2. i've placed files into /var/www/ and for some reason my .htaccess file is being ignored. i've made some changes to /sites-enabled/000-default and now i get 500 error when trying to access anything.

sure, web browsers set the 'Host:' to the name in the URL; but the HTTP server hosting only knows IP/port/Host: whatever DNS name was used for the URL.

how can i make my htaccess file get recognized?

htaccess

htaccess files apply to the directory in which they are placed, and to all subdirectories thereof. or Only needed if you don't have access to the main server config. or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/configuring.html#htaccess or http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/htaccess.html or if it doesn't work, checkyour AllowOverride directives in http. Ask me about AllowOv

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

Now my perplexity as to NameVirtualHost is as to whether its role is textual or not.

Blissex2, i've put All to allowoverride

depends on where, and whether also '.htaccess' has the right permissions to be read by the web server.

Hi, anyone have made some experience with mod-fcgid ? I just switched from mod_fastcgi , and i want to know if the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN variable in my startscript is still necessary, as i read the mod_fcgid has better process management ( thats why i swithced ) .

0777, for testing. so yes, it has the permissions

does 'NameVirtualHost' tag an IP/port combination, so that it enables 'Host:' for that IP/port combo no matter how referred to, or does it have to be _textually_ matched in 'VirtualHost'?
then it should work and if it does not perhaps you have put 'AllowOverride' in the wrong place, or the '.htaccess' has the wrong syntax. Check the Apache error log for any signs of malfunction.

Blissex2, ohh, just noticed. it's throwing an error on RewriteEngine on.

that there was a syntax error was sort of hinted by the 500 code.

Blissex2, well, you're right any idea why it would not reconize rewriteengine on?

not loaded the relevant module?

Blissex2, where should i check to see if the module is in fact loaded?

best way is to enable the /server-info or whatever handler so you can see exactly how the server is configured, post-startup.
ubest way is to enable the /server-info or whatever handler so you can see exactly how the server is configured, post-startup./u

i'll dig into that.
thanks

else, put the 'RewriteOn' etc. withing 'IfModule modrewrite.c' or whatever

if the error disappears it is because the module was not loaded.

anyone know how I can choose the root directory? I cant seem to find any reference to /var/www in the conf files

so wrap all rewrite related stuff inside an ifmodule directive. ok.

so is /var/www hardcoded into apache as the root html directory?

It's the default, you can change it in the config files.

Blissex2, solved, thank you very much. mod rewrite wasn't being loaded, apparently.

FauxFaux, thanks Ill keep looking

DocumentRoot

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.

hehe. Now you will have the pleasure to debug the Rewrite rules :-)

Blissex2, actually, that i know how to do quite well

fajita many thanks!

the person in the galaxy to claim they know mod_rewrite config quite well ;-)

Blissex2, ohh, well, didn't mean it like that, but i do know my way around rewrite rules. had to deal with them quite a lot lately. unfortunately.
uBlissex2, ohh, well, didn't mean it like that, but i do know my way around rewrite rules. had to deal with them quite a lot lately. unfortunately./u

Is it possible to use a "Redirect permanent" with some wildcards? Like: "Redirect permanent /ppi(.*) http://downloads.example.com/snapshots/ppi($1)"?

because it does what you need to do

whatta meanie
:/

So.... is it possible?
RedirectMatch looks like the right one

hehe
redirectmatch?

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

SOmething like this?
RedirectMatch /ppi_(.*).prc http://www.plkr.org/snapshots/ppi_$1.prc

should work

Hrmph
Hit this:
http://www.plkr.org/ppi_zh_CN.prc
And see what happens

one sec
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).

I've been there... no errors, it just repeatedly redirects
Then fails

yeah
that's called an infinite redirect
you need to anchor your regex
redirecmatch ^/pp_blah http://blah.com/snapshots/pp_blah
redirecmatch ^/pp_blah a href="http://blah.com/snapshots/pp_blah"http://blah.com/snapshots/pp_blah/a

adddefaultcharset

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

I was reading about the codification of apache, but I try others I think there is not the problem
I read that

try that
change the charset with firefox until you find the right one
then use that in your config, and restart apache

I have UTF-8 as default
I think is fine..

nickometer |messiah|

'|messiah|' is 26% lame, megaspaz

utf-8 is not likely to work
change the charset with firefox until you find the right one
then use that in your config, and restart apache

let me see
meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /
I have to change to UTF-8 right?

no
I told you what to do
find the charset that WORKS with the firefox menus

then USE THAT IN YOUR HTTPD.CONF
also, make sure all your pages output the proper charset

/usr/bin/file might know if your files with accented characters are utf-8 or some other local codepage
although probably a bit of a crap shoot at that small distinction

utf-8 is almost never the right charset for such languages, in my experience.
hence my recommendation.

where should i be for ant again?

why the guessing? Get the proper charset from FF (it's reliable) and use that.
ant

ant is some java thing. Try ##ant5 or ##java (don't forget my HashHashJavaChannelFactory) or you may have better luck on the mailing lists than on irc or an apache project, haha

thanks very much

##ant5

##ant5?

RewriteRule /phpBB2/ /

if it's in htaccess the /phpBB2 is wrong... drop the leading /

oh
is this right:

the perms look fine
allowoverride none

AllowOverride None means "Please ignore my htaccess files." and is the default setting. or See http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2003/12/04/apacheckbk.html

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

you also need to set the right override in order to use htaccess
in your main apache config

do I need to seperate the things by tabs or spaces?

why are you using htaccess when you have access to the config file?

apache config should be setup right. i talked with the hosting company, and they said just add the htaccess file and iwill be set

garbage

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

htaccess can be changed on the fly

[r]

[r] is a redirect

granny

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

actually if you use redirectmatch, you can keep the leading /

add the leading / then

mod_include is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_include.html

anybody know a good user-agent tool? I want to be able to break user-agent strings down: IE OS=Win XP Browser=IE Version=6.1...i don't want to reinvent the wheel

niq, this can`t be mod_include

what for? stats analysis?

I want to store in database and see which browsers may be having trouble with our ajax...it would be great if the strings could be broken down into: browser, OS, Version, aol/not aol, etc...so we can analyze conversions across multiple parameters to find ajax problems.
I don't want something that just analyzes our log files...I want something that i can put in our 'session' table from the getgo

I see. I'm sorry, I don't have a useful answer.

no problem...thanks anyway

indura.com have a fancy (commercial) tool for detailed analysis of who is having trouble with your apps

I am running debian - want to make virtual hosts (I have three names for one IP address) - none of the tutorials out there got me there - is anyone willing to help me out ?

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

are u sure about indura.com? seems odd site

put all the vhosts in 000-default in sites-enabled.... under the first vhost there.. just to make sure that you fuck up as little as is debian-possible.

I know how to use mod rewrite, what I don't know how to do is make a specific IP go to a specific file.. can you help?

yeah. Not sure how they present it though.

also - I was wondering what is the best practice with regard to location usually /var/www/ is the location for the websites - do you recomend /var/www/ to be in a separate hard disk (or partition)?

they collect much more data than just a log, and analyse it. At least, that's the theory.

I do not know why every distro have to have their changes and does not let things as designed - however it seem there is no choice but to make it work somehow

heh heh

default layout

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

use a rewritecond on the IP.

Debian's a tough case

blame debian. Summon thumbs if necessary

I am thankfull for Debian - however there are times where I cannot see logic - obviously this might be due to my lack of knowning details

heh heh

which is the Best Book on Apache (2.2 if possible )?

tfm

The Fine Manual is generally a better reference than anyone's memory. Read it - especially pages we point you to! Ask here if you need help finding the relevant page,need help clarifying some detail

what about Rich's books?

... unless you ask something more specific ...

well.. he said book. hmmm... right.. there's some...

I thought the question too vague for a specific answer.
modules book

modules book is http://www.apachetutor.org/
modules book is a href="http://www.apachetutor.org/"http://www.apachetutor.org//a

but not for everyone

:P
it's very well written, btw.

:-)

I'm having some problems with apache 1.3 + mod_perl. For some reason mod_perl isn't releasing its RAM between requests and the binaries grow to 256Mb. Is there some way in apache I can say, kill of a chiild process once it reaches a certain size in Mb?

1.3?

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

Well, it's 1.3.37_3 on FreeBSD 6.2, to be exact.

servertokens httpd.apache.org

Apache/2.3.0-dev (Unix)

(bit more up-to-date)

And for bitching.
1.3 implements HTTP/1.1, does it?

yeah, at the front at least

??!
do elaborate.

1.x mod_proxy is HTTP/1.0 only ...

ugh
I'm hungry, I think.

mmm

mmm, silicon chips with copper ketchup

could it be, btw, that your application sucks...?
also, did you try setting MaxChildRequests or what it's called -- if there is such a thing in 1.3 *cough*

maxrequestsperchild

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

hello, jazzanova.

You know the 1.3 branch has worked very well. I could upgrade to 2.2 or 2.5 today if you guys think it is worth it.
I mean 2.4

using too much paging space is a good reason to upgrade. What was the 256mb?

I'm still pretty convinced it's the application.....
But that's just me...

yep. sounds likely.

can perl app really be guilty if rss grows between requests? (vs perl/mod_perl/apache)

hi, is it possible to disallow some file extension in .htaccess file ?

files context

server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess

so i need the "file" directive ?

yes, or filesmatch
filesmatch?

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

it wastes space.

files, order, and deny

Covener?

Covener is a smart guy. He's said he works on an httpd for win that's derived from apache.

and satisfy?

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

Well, I'm sure it is the application, and it does suck... but we have to use it

Covener is that true what fajita just said?

i assumed it was one of those random nonsense things not a specific factoid
i'm smart and i work on a commercial apache (all platforms)

Is it allowed to say of yourself that you're smart?

Only because fajita said it first!

hehe

is your company a name we'd have heard of?

I'm just very wgron :-/

yes, an oft-abreviated one

It's Being Mended?

International Business Machines?

we have a winner!
so much for coy

hehe

Netcraft confirms, Apache is dead.

wish i knew, rocketmagnet

isn't there an example in every default conf file?
oops, you're going in a different direction now

Hi, I can't seem to get the HeaderName and ReadmeName directives to work.
I have the mod_autoindex module loaded
And there's nothing in the error logs

Did you set them to README.html and such?

What's a reasonable value for MaxRequestsPerChild with my memory problem?

dahunter3, 0

But the html file doesn't get appended/prepended.

dahunter3, You're confused

track how fast it grows

KillerX, Is it in the right stanza?

i'm working on a shared webspace and only have my .htaccess file

directive.

Why am I confused?

dahunter3, You understand what that value does?

i just want all my files only be viewable by the webserver (so nobody can list the xml files in the directory or by direct giving the name)

Good idea. I'll try setting it to 100 first and then see the average memory usage.

Its the number of times that _single_ apache child process can respond to requests, before it is killed off and replaced with a fresh child

Yep, that sounds like almost exactly what I need for this particular problem until we get to the root cause.

Your application is leaking?

either that or fix your application...

Having the average memory usage will, and looking through pmap should also give me a good value for MaxClients
Yes, that's next, I just have to make it until we can.

250Mb and just stays there.

rss? vsz?

hm?

was just looking at that, let me see here, for one pid I get:

i'm installing httpd on home office computer for development ... not sure about dns/server address values in install dialogue ... are there any recommendations and/or info sources other then dns issues page in manual?

Okay, so of 250Mb, 45Mb was shared and the rest was private.

system has dynamic ip from cable modem router ... router has dynamic ip from dhcp server
is there a newbie mailing list?

you can lurk on users@httpd and pick up plenty

thanks ...

i'm having some issues with apache in windows
trying to get some vhosting going on my localhost
subdomain.localhost mainly
http://pastebin.ca/597723

hi, i have a small problem with apache on a server, i need apache to read syslog, anyway if i change the persission with chmod, the next time the file will be recreate it have the previous permision, how can i change forever the permission to /var/log/syslog ( i'm running ubuntu-server )

Fix the permissions in your newsyslog setup?
Or in whatever syslogd you use.

or logrotate

logrotate is supercool or see rotatelogs

i don't know where to change that

you can add a chmod to the postrotate section of your logrotate config

anyone know why the ports tree in freebsd 6.2 does not make install apache22?

hey, SirSherlock.

that'd be a question for #freebsd

actually if you man logrotate there is a directive for this: create mode owner group

what is the default mpm module when u compile apache from source?

prefork

prefork is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/prefork.html and is what you need for various dodgy software including PHP

what about worker, is that threaded?

Roobarb im trying to ask there alwso and noone is answering hince why im asking here

i didn't setup logrotate, some other person done that, i'm looking for it...

i got a low-end system with no alot of ram - mY QUESTION - which MPM should i use??????

logrotate is installed by default on all linux distriutions i know

nut i haven't never look at it ...
but*
i add a chmod in the cron.daily script i hope it works... i'll see tomorrow. thank you for your help

Is there a guide to configuring the index pages of directories without an index file?
Sorry abotu the color.

I'm having trouble setting up CGI with apache2. The source file gets sent over. I have double checked every step in the tutorial and still no luck, any idea what might be the problem?

cgi

cgi is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html

that's the tutorial I mentioned. I checked every step, no luck

I suggest you did miss something, though

setting up cgi requires ~3 commands

yes, there isn't much too it, it's unlikely that I missed anything after rechecking 5 times now

sample url

Could you please give us a URL at which the behavior is demonstrated. This would help us troubleshoot the problem.

it's on a local machine behind a router, I don't have access to set up forwarding atm

have you cleared your browser cache?

what does the error log say, exactly?

nothing, there's no error, it jsut sends over the file

pastebin the directives you used to enable cgi support.

How can I set a non-recursive DirectoryIndex in .htaccess? So I want to set the directory index for /foo, but it should NOT be applied to /foo/bar or /foo/boink.

set it in each subdirectory
i.e. DirectoryIndex foobar2.foo

http://pastey.net/70109-45gk

or if you'd like to make it so people can list the content of directories, try

Problem is that I will be adding subdirs pretty often and don't want to have to add .htaccess files to each.

Option +Indexes
Options +Indexes

Options +Indexes is If a URL which maps to a directory is requested, and the there is no DirectoryIndex (e.g., index.html) in that directory, then the server will return a formatted listing of the directory.

it's recursive. No way around it.

Hmm, I see I had set it to /foo.cgi. Perhaps if I set it to foo.cgi, it won't apply to the subdirs since that file is only in the root&
w00t, that worked.

put the AddHandler out of the directory block.

Thanks for helping!

sure...

no luck

does "httpd -M" show mod_cgi ?

it has cgi_module

have you cleared your browser cache?

yes, even used a different browser

your script ends in .py yes?

of course

what is the full path to the script?

/var/www/toutoran/index.py

I'm stumped then
what yuo have should work

which is why I'm extremely frustrated
there seems to be no reason at all for it to not work

try using ScriptAlias instead

a conflicting directive?

a conflicting directive is overriding the format

how so? there are no other directives relating to that directory, and those directives are the last in the file so shouldn't they override anyway?

you don't have a .htaccess in the same directory do you?

good call

ok, try scriptalias.

I did, got Forbidden.

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).

what does the error log tell you, exactly?

nothing, there's no error!

random question

you're lying

I'm insulted

a 403 will ALWAYS generate an entry in the error log
always.

always is "Server not found"

i'm using netfirms for hosting and they have their htaccess setup in such a way that, when i directory lacks an index file it WON'T display the contents of that directory

you're looking at the wrong log, then.

instead it just says 'oh you don't have access to this'
is there any way to override this in my own global htaccess?
so that a directory without an index file WILL display it's contents?

Oh my bad, I tried ScriptAlias earlier, going to retry and recheck

try adding "Options +Indexes" to your .htaccess

thanks
sweet
thank you kind sir - but, are there any other configuration options i can tinker with to change the way contents are displayed?
(better yet, any kind of master manual for htaccess - everything i see on google is pretty basic)

now I'm getting the same thing with ScriptAlias, it gets sent over as text

mod_autoindex

mod_autoindex is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_autoindex.html

IndexOptions

read those links ^^^

did you chmod +x the file?

thanks

yep

do you have a shebang line in your script?

yes, but wouldn't that generate an error instead?

no, it's required.
as per the cgi docs

I know it's required, I have it, but I assumed it would throw an error. any other possible culprits?

well with scriptalias, +x and shebang, you should be good to go.

Roobarb, any idea why Options +Indexes works like a charm

unless your shebang line is wrong.

eh?

yet IndexOptions +FancyIndexing does nothing?

which it isn't, script works fine from commandline

better yet, how do i check which modules are enabled under apache by my webhost? will perl do it?

try phpinfo

sweet

I'm not sure what else could cause an issue. WHat apache version is this?

if your webhost doesn't have "AllowOverride Indexes" then I think the best you can do it turn them on but not fiddle with them

Server version: Apache/2.2.3

you cleared your browser cache?

yes

do you run suexec?

you're getting the file sent rather than executed, right?

im just gonna start over from scratch

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d \n RewriteRule ^(.+\.git)/?$ repos/$1/ http://git.nyh.se/test.git/ works as expected (that directory is actually in the repos subdir). http://git.nyh.se/test.git will visibly redirect to http://git.nyh.se/repos/test.git/ though.

sure, make a simple empty config

And http://git.nyh.se/testy.git/ will visibly rewrite the URL as well, though /test.git/ worked. Very, very weird.

isn't test.git a directory?

Yup, they all are.
Doesn't rewriting work for dirs?

sure
but your rewrite cond says "if it's not a directory"

apc

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

That's just to keep it from recursing. There is no directory at /foo.git, so the rule should still apply to redirect silently to /repos/foo.git. While someone trying to access /repos/foo.git would not be rewritten due to the rule.

what directory context is that rewrite rule in?
oh, ok i see what you've done.

The .htaccess file is in the web root, and there's no RewriteBase declaration, if that's what you mean.

so http://git.nyh.se/test.git rewrites to http://git.hy.se/repos/test.git
which is a directory

i already had it that way, rici.

so mod_dir sends a redirect to http://git.hy.se/repos/test.git/
and the second time your rewritecond causes the rewrite to do nothing.

Weird, after changing the rule to rewrite to /r/& instead of /repos/&, http://git.nyh.se/testy.git/ still rewrites to /repos/&.

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.

I'll try another browser.
Ah, yes, worked in another browser. Thanks.

FYI, I've just used these 3 methods to enable CGI on my server: http://apache.pastebin.ca/597865
and "test.cgi" (a perl script) returns a bunch of stuff

So with the cache quirks out of the way, it seems like it becomes a visible rewrite if I access somedir as opposed to somedir/. So presumably this has to do with Apache rewriting the URLs again to tack on the / for dirs.

yes, that's what i mentioned above

yes
DirectorySlash

DirectorySlash is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryslash

if you don't want that to happen, do your own visible redirect first

Hm, like visibly rewriting somedir to somedir/ you mean?

eg rewriterule (.*\.git)$ $1/ [R]

Cool, will try, thanks.

sorry [r,l]

KeepAlive

KeepAlive is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#keepalive

Hi all.. is there a way to verify that mod_deflate is actually deflating stuff?

i have a strange effect. i want to use ldap for basic authentication, but it doesn't work. When i supply a wrong pw, the error log says that auth failed. if i supply the right one, the error log doesn't show anything, but apache sends a 401 again! what could cause this?

sniff the packets, log the actual bytes transmitted, ...

hmm

care to pastebin the relevant config lines?
for the second option
mod_log_io
or ...

Hey, so, I've got a problem. localhost doesn't respond, and httpd is started. anyone has a clue?

umm, something like that

ok... will google it

what does the error log say, exactly?

nothin'

mod_logio

mod_logio is http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_logio.html

what is httpd listening on?
netstat -ltn

what:80 ?

0.0.0.0:80

is there anything in the error log? does it tell you that apache has started successfully?

os?

with an extra 0.
pacman

try the netstat line if you're using linux

wait a sec

pacman?

pacman is 476 KiB

uhm
sorry :p
arch

arch is Ma version control system by Tom Lord or http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/a slackware(?)based distro

- stoned
http://rafb.net/p/WiXFCx43.html

I'm trying to get apache2.2.3 to run this perl cgi script (its twiki), but for some reason it keeps just giving me the configure script as a plain text file. far as I can tell I have the cgi stuff setup correctly and there are no errors in the errors log.

what does netstat tell you?
cgi

cgi is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html

http://rafb.net/p/wB5r9h61.html

check with ps. Make sure apache is running

netstat

netstat prints network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships. Use netstat -an grep -w 80 to check if port 80 is in use. (On linux, you can use netstat -pan to see which program uses the port, or -ltpn.) (For Windows use -ano to show the state, PID, and connection in IP not name format, or -abn).

make sure your cgi is properly configured. Read the link fajita gave you.

ah, thank you

http://nopaste.org/p/aScP1StJY

http://rafb.net/p/Eirkpx76.html

looking

try telnet localhost
see if it responds.

doesn't respond to ping'ing, so, nope, doesn't respond

apache version?

oh, I think I just figured it out. Is there a way to have it treat _any_ executable file as a cgi? this files don't have a .pl on the end

2.2.x

right, i should have figured that

scriptalias

scriptalias is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias or Don't forget to load mod_cgi

you need AuthLDAPAuthoritative Off

thanks

otherwise, require valid-user won't work
AuthLDAPAuthoritative

AuthLDAPAuthoritative is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth_ldap.html#authldapauthoritative

ping? huh, it's running on the same box. Just telnet to the localhost 80

s:2.0:2.2:

docs said i need that if i need a fallback to files

you do need that if you fallback to files
or to valid-user
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html
search for the header "require valid-user"

doesn't react.
at all

try listening to port 8080 in apache, and restart it

have we tried the netstat command yet?

can't confirm, he never said

apache httpd is only listening on ipv4, but localhost is also ipv6

I did..
http://rafb.net/p/wB5r9h61.html
ok, switchin to :8080 doesn't change a thing

try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

nope, nothing
anyone ? =/

no change :/

apc

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

let me look again
is that actually a trac installation?
i haven't tried a trac install for a while, but i vaguely remember that trac will generate 401's all on its own

it doesn't when i use file-based auth

what distro are you using, again?

arch

does trac know about the userid?
getting a 401 without any log message often means it's coming from the cgi/origin server

it uses it for some stuff

are you sure you're editing the right config file?

yeah, so is that particular one in its collection of known userids?

have you tried http://localhost:8080 ?

that 401 without log message went away though, i changed the password on the ldap server and now i get an error every time :/

I'm quite sure yeah

well, that's different at least

and I did try localhost:8080

it handles unknown userids as new users

I have an apache2 instance that's a reverse proxy and also serves some static files directly
all .php files are fetched from a backend server
I have mod_dir and mod_autoindex loaded

then you're doing something wrong. If apache is started and running, it will respond on the port
try telnet localhost 8080

the problem is that instead of getting a directory listing, apache tries to fetch index.php, and if the backend server returns 404, the autoindex doesn't appear

Options +Indexes

instead, the user sees 404 not found, the requested URL something/index.php was not found on this server
indexes is enabled
if I remove index.php from DirectoryIndex, then the autoindex does appear

telnet doesn't do anything =/

I have something like RewriteRule /(.*).php(.*) http://backendserver/$1.php$2 [P,L]

it's kind of odd since i can log in from the command line

this returns 404 for the nonexistent index.php
and mod_autoindex never gets a chance to run, once this happens
any way to work around this?

40
403

403 is Forbidden or don't forget to look in the error log

Guy-: so you want that to work whether or not there's an index.php on the origin server?

yes; if there is no index.php, I'd like mod_autoindex to kick in, provided Indexes are enabled

hmm...
Guy-: i can't think of any simple solution to that
