Announcing Open Web Server

I am delighted to announce that we have completed the work to open source the core of Sun Java System Web Server under the BSD license. This project offers a sub-set of Sun Java System Web Server's features, but is the same highly scalable HTTP server that drives many of the most demanding and secure Web sites.
The project site is here .
A feature comparison of Open Web Server and Sun Java System Web Server is here .
Developer documentation and build instructions are here .
Open Web Server is a part of the larger [Web Stack community|http://opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack/] within the OpenSolaris project.
We welcome your feedback and participation within the OpenSolaris Web Stack community.

On Behalf of WS Team!

I did not understand very well what you told me.
The directory server is on another machine ex(m1).
I have other web server on another machine ex(m2). This web server working properly (solaris 10). And when I access to application, ldap error does not appear.
This web server (windows, SP11), is installed on my PC.
The ldap configuration on this instance is the same as another web instance (dbswitch.conf):
directory default ldap://m1:port/<base dn>
default:binddn <bind dn>
default:encoded bindpw <passwd>
From my PC I can communicate well with the server ldap, I used a ldap administration program, and users and groups tab of my web server (windows).
I open a browser on my PC, and if I access the other web server works fine.
if I access to my web server, the ldap error appear...
There are commands to diagnose problems with ldap, something about the character encoding windows-unix?
Thanks in advance

Fantastic! Thank you WS team.
What is the schedule for the bug fixes and enhancements to be integrated into Open Web Server?
Also - It is Dec 18. the online shopping rush is on and many web sites are in lock-down (regarding software changes) until after the Christmas rush. Is there any way for these sites to apply JUST the NSS changes and Xerxes changes so that the vulnerabilities in SSL renegotiation and XML parsing are addressed, but everything else (as much as possible) remains unchanged? Applying an über-patch during the final week of Christmas shopping is not going to be an option for many administrators.
Thanks!

This could be almost anything. It could be related to the failing
hardware. I'd fix that first, before worrying about this.

Unable to close open and blocked web server ports

I have been running the sun webserver 6.1 as a test development environment on my local pc (Windows 2000) at work. The machine crashed while the web server was running, and while the server instance stopped, the ports being used are still open and apparently, still being used. Restarting my machine does not solve the problem.
Using netstat (through cygwin - i am familiar with linux, and have been using cygwin as the easiest way to do many things with the web server) I can see that the ports are indeed being "used", however i cannot find any running processes (through the top or ps command or the task list) associated with the open ports. Also attempts to start the server again fail, and the server complains that the ports are currently being used.
In order to continue to develop I created a new domain using a different set of ports. Since then, I have (in zealous cleanup) removed the domain that was using those ports, and in attempting to setup a different webserver encountered the open ports.
I need/wish to stop the running processes and close the open ports. Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation.

There are no such processes running in either the task manager or services.
I do not believe that the domain/web server is running, since the domain instance has since been removed.
However, the ports seems to be stuck on being "used".

Unable to open external list : Error : Unable to render the data. If the problem persists, contact your web server administrator.

Hi,
Please note we are using SQL Server 2008 for sharepoint. Does it matter for this issue?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open external list.
Please change the External Content’s connection properties’ Authentication Mode to BDC identity.
Then launch the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell and run the PowerShell commands to remove the error.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

Maximum Open Cursors Exceeded - Oracle 9 & Java Web Server 6.1

We are facing this problem - maximum open cursors exceeded after migrating our application to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1
We were not facing this problem with our earlier web server
Can anybody let us know - is there any setting we need to do to avoid this.
The current setting for this attribute in the database is quite huge - close to 2000
One of the "webservd" sessions, (web server user) exceeded this value

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw - No Embedded Web Server (Port 80 not even showing open)

The embedded web server on our LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw is not responding and a port scan of the printer shows that port 80 is not open. We have power cycled the printer and that did not resolve the issue.
Is there a way to check the status of the embedded web server through the control panel on the printer?
Are there any other steps we can take to restore the embedded web server?
Thanks in advance.

Hello csandrews68,
I see you have an LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw that the Embedded Web Server will not load, port 80 shows as closed.
I suggest restoring the network defaults on the printer:
From the home screen on the printer push Setup (wrench and gear icon)
Go to and select Network Setup
Push Restore Defaults
With defaults restored, connect the printer back to the network and try to load the EWS.
Let me know if that helped.
Thanks,
JERENDS

Unable to open .shtml file in Sun java web server 6.1

Hi,
I migrated my application from iPlanet 6.0 to Sun one web server 6.1 and after that I'm unable to open any .shtml file from my browser. This issue is not with all browser but only with few.
Ex : It works fine with firefox 1.x but fails with firefox 2.x
I tried adding the shtml_send Init parameters in Magnus.conf and edited the obj.conf, and my mime type has the following entry for shtml:
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml,jbhtml
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
SS

What is the exact version of Web Server you are using? Should be in the error logs or try $start -version
It would be faster if you can capture and cut and paste the data that is sent between firefox and Web Server in both the cases using /usr/sfw/bin/ssltap (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/ssltap.html) or ethereal when you try to view that shtml file. We can see if its any different in both cases and try it from there.
Also verify the steps given in http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1832-10/pgshtml.html
mime.types should have :
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml
obj.conf should have :
Service fn="shtml_send" type="magnus-internal/parsed-html" method="(GET|HEAD)"
When you activate parsing, magnus.conf should have :
Init funcs="shtml_init,shtml_send" shlib="install_dir/bin/https/bin/Shtml.dll" NativeThreads="no" fn="load-modules"
Shtml.dll (or libShtml.so on UNIX), is located in install_dir/bin/https/bin for Windows, and install_dir/bin/https/lib for UNIX.

I have installed HP2035n. But when i try to open the embedded web server, i get the error "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fe80) isn't associated with any program." What is the possible solution?

|---------------(192.168.1.2)L3switch(10.10.10.1/24)--------(10.10.10.2/24)Server
Here is the issue:
1. from PC after I login to 192.168.1.1 the WEB can't be opened. it show as web server not responding. I have try with 3browser 2PC but all same. But I use HP it can be opened.
2. on RV120W I added static route and now I from PC I can ping to Server. I can telnet but SSH/HTTP always failed.
On firewall I never set anything, all is permited.
I try version 1.0.3.10 and 1.0.4.10 but all same.

Hi Bernadi, thank you for using our forum, my name is Luis I am part of the Small business Support community. I have some question for you:
1.1) What kind of computer are those that didn't work?
1.2) If you connect those, are you receiving an IP address from DHCP?
1.3) What gateway is showing?
2.1) Do you have any debug or error?
2.2) Did you try creating an Forwarding rule for 443 to the server address?
I recommend you always use the last firmware.
I hope you find this answer useful
Greetings,
Luis Arias.
