Alternate distros for a web server

I've been running my web server on arch using the lts kernel for ages, but since i moved it into a vm on an esxi host, it's been troublesome at best and vmware tools isn't much better
so i'm looking for an alternative distro. so far debian or centos seem like good candidates and im currently grabbing centos to start testing in a new vm
I thought I'd post and see if anyone has any input that my googling may not have yielded?

Using the LAMP stack in a professional environment is not a very good idea.
explain this to me, because a good deal proffesional web enviroments run LAMP. If you buy webhosting, its more or less provided as LAMP.
LAMP is widely respected as a entry to mid range application stack, and a lightweight low cost where things like websphere and oracle databases, or other high end solutions would be excessive.
Sorry, I meant using the LAMP stack in a single package is not a good idea. Use separate packages for apache, php, mysql, ... , then you can react better when security problems in a single component occur. I read "LAMP stack" as "XAMPP-like package" because HungGarTiger used in as opposite to "separate packages"
[...] is there any benefit downloading LAMP stack over the packages individually? [...]

PDF has not been configured for this web server linux 11.1.2

Hi,
We installed 11.1.2 Hyperion WorkforcePlanning on Linux 32 bit OS.
When the user opens the workspace and tries to see the "Profit and Loss" and selects
"File --> Open In --> PDF format" , it just flicks for a sec and gives following message :
" PDF has not been configured for this web server"
Can somebody suggest me what to do ?
Appreciate your response.

Check your print server service on your foundation server, sometimes I have had that just stop for whatever reason.

Specification for the Web server

Hi All,
We have BW3.5.
Presently web server is running in the production box itself.
We are planning for a separate box for the Web server.
Please give me the tips for the hardware config for the Webserver.
Thanks
Billy

Hi,
1) Currently there is no WSRP or JSR support
but this will be soon "standard" for all portals!
2) Device detection is available. Mobile Access pack will
be available soon. (It is available now for portal 3.0)
Cheers,

Financial Reporting - PDF has not been configured for this web server.

When I try a Print Preview of my report, I received this error "PDF has not been configured for this web server".
As far as I know, this error is confusing because when I look on my log files I found this:
--- FRLogging.log ---

I read a lot of document but it seem to be au communication issues!!!
Can someone help me with that.

I believe the supported version for ghost script is 7.0.6; I had the same problem and after installing the lower version it worked like a charm.
If you cant find the older version let me know, I'll email it to you or place it in my website.

Is there any API for connecting web server and iphone apps

Hi,
I have to retrieve data from Web Server and display in my iphone apps. I want to know that is there any API through which i can connect my apps to server and get data.
One way i know that use NSURLConnection and get XML response and prase it and use it like that.
So anyone know this?
Thanks.

NSURLConnection is straightforward to use. In the mobile world, and especially if you intend to use certain google APIs, I would rather tend to use JSON instead of XML. A great JSON parser for objective-c is here: http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/

NTLM for Apache web server

First, I didn't find a specific category in the forums for the Apache web server that comes with Oracle 8i and 9i, so if this isn't the right place, I'd like to know where it is.
Anyway, has anyone had success using NTLM with recent versions of Oracle's Apache web server? I had it working with 8.1.7, but when I upgraded to 8.1.7.3, it broke again. It doesn't work with 9.2 either. Oracle support was quite unimpressed that I had even tried it at all, but I think it is something that should be part of an intranet web server in a corporate environment, since Windows is on most desktops.
Thanks,
Andy Johnson

NT Lan Manager authentication for Apache? Are there even APIs published by Microsoft? On the other hand, I would not be surprised if a module exists. (then again Oracle would not support it for their variant of Apache=OHS)

Problem running WebLogic as plugin for SunOne web server on Solaris

I tried to set up WebLogic (8.1) as plugin for SunONE (iPlanet) web server. I followed instraction from http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/plugins/nsapi.html#110496. SunONE server start up successfully. But I have problem to connect my web application, and SunONE web server returns following error:
"for host 172.23.54.5 trying to GET /arsys/home, wl-proxy reports: Neither 'WebLogicCluster' nor 'WebLogicHost' specified in parameters"
I tried both SunOne (6.1 sp3) and iPlanet (6.0), I saw same problem.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks
Charlie

To configure sunone to work with WLS, you need to make entires in the magnus.conf and the obj.conf.From the error, it seems as if u missed the entries in the obj.conf.

Support for JES Web Server?

How does access manager integrate with the jes web server? Do you have to install a policy agent like any other web server? Or is there more integration between the two products?

I'm having the same issue... How do you get the Web Policy agent to work with the webserver provided w/JES 2005Q1?
I downloaded the Agent for Web Server 6.1, and it wouldn't install... said that it required 6.0 or 6.1, and 6.1 is what is provided with JES, so I'm not sure why it didn't work.

Partial SSL implementation for iplanet web server

Hi,
I would like to make a web server SSL enabled partially.
Say something like this
https://mysite:8080/htmlfiles/log.html
Only the above url should be SSL protected.
Other urls like http://mysite:8080/entryservlet shouldnt be SSL enabled
Thanks in advance
Regards
Thameem

iWS4.x:
Create two instances - one on Port 80 and runs without SSL, and one on Port 443 that uses SSL. Configure your docs roots such that htmlfiles/log.html is not part of the doc-root for the insecure instance.
iWS/S1WS6.x:
Create a single instance with two listen sockets and two virtual servers. Otherwise the same as above.

Iplanet 6 - set jdk for specific web server instance

I am running iPlanet 6 with many web server instances. All web server instances are using the same jdk except for one which I must upgrade.
Is there a way to set the jdk for a single web server instance?

It is possible in V6.0 too:
1. Copy start-jvm script from https-admserv/ into each https-* that needs a different JVM.
2. Modify it to load the appropriate JVM
3. Modify each https-*/start script to use this new start-jvm script instead of the one in https-admserv.
Frankly speaking it is not my idea and it is not officially documented by Sun but it works!

Access Control for SunOne Web Server 6.0.5 vs. 6.0.4

This question is about bypassing an appserver by specifying an alias without the appserver vitual host so as to download a class or jar file. With only the default ACL on the 6.0.4 version of the Sunone web server I found that .class and .jar files were not downloadable. However, on version 6.0.5 they are. For example, the URL:
https://myhost/appserv/alias/path/file.jsp
would return the html resulting from that file.jsp file being processed by my application server. But by contrast, the URL:
https://myhost/alias/path/file.jsp
will prompt the user as to where they want to save the file. Specifying the alias immediately after the hostname (omitting appserv) will allow free access to any files under that aliases target directory. This is a problem especially for .class and .jar files which contain server side programs. I have created an ACL as described in the administrators guide and this does solve the problem (thank goodness for that). My question is, why didn't I experience this problem before?
