Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

Multiple Virtual servers, one listener setup

I am trying SJS 7 as a Proof of Concept project to replace our existing iPlaney 6 and Netscape 2 server instances.
My question is how do I setup SJS to have one http listener on port 80, but be able to handle multiple websites? I want to use a CNAME under our DNS and then have the SJS environment look to see what the domain name is and point it to the correct directory when called upon via web browser.
Under our DNS, each stub file has something like:
mysite IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
mysite2 IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
Under our Apache's virthost.conf, I just need to do the following:
<VirtualHost mysite.com>
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mysite2.com>
ServerName mysite2.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite2.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite2.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite2.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite2.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite2.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I setup two virtual servers under one configuration, but the http-listener-1 instance only wants to point to one virtual server instance rather than the pair. I tried to add a 2nd http-listener, but it won't allow me to use the same CNAME address nor port 80 for it as well.
How do I do the same thing that I do with Apache virthosting under SJS 7?
-- Michael

I took a look at the server.xml file, and I currently have this:
<http-listener>
<name>http-listener-1</name>
<ip>sjsdev.mysite.com</ip>
<port>80</port>
<server-name>sjsdev.mysite.com</server-name>
<default-virtual-server-name>screwball</default-virtual-server-name>
</http-listener>
<virtual-server>
<name>screwball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>screwball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/screwball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/screwball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
<name>fastball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>fastball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/fastball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/fastball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
I bounced the listener and virtual hosts then tried using a browser for testing.
If I go to http://screwball.mysite.com, it goes to the correct htdocs directory.
If I go to http://fastball.mysite.com, it goes to the screwball htdocs directory instead.
Also, is it possible to make these configuration changes via the Administration web GUI?
Trying to document this as much as possible, mostly via screenshots, for other team members.

Another port question - multiple Macs behind the same firewall

I've searched for this issue, but I can't seem to find a topic directly on point. I know how to forward the right points for this to work, but...
I'm coming from outside the network, and I need to control multiple machines that are behind the same firewall. I can't forward a port to more than one machine. How do I control all these machines?

To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3293 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", as seems to be the case from your description, the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
Hope this helps.

How to customize search in WS 7 and for multiple virtual servers?

I'm not clear on how to customize search results pages in Sun Web Server 7. The documentation (the Adminstrator's Guide, page 215) says:
You can take a look at the default search application located at /bin/https/webapps/search as a sample application
but I'm not seeing any such thing. I did a find . -name search -type d from the server root and instance root but the only search directories I'm seeing are subdirectories within the generated directory and they look like system generated jsps that I shouldn't touch (So I didn't :-)
So one question is, where is the default app? A second question is, how do we set up different branding for different virtual servers?
We're currently using WS 6.1 and it has a field in the GUI for the directory containing the web app to use for search. That seems to have disappeared in WS 7.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

I don't use the search engine, so I'm afriad I don't have direct experience here.
What I'd probably do is modify the app so that it looks at the Host data to determine which directory it should point to for graphics, formatting, etc. You could also use the obj.conf with variables to pull graphics from directories appropriately branded. Something like:
1) Create "additional doc directory" for images
2) Find the entry in the obj.conf that points to the new directory
3) Modify the path to something like /path/to/$host/images
4) Make sure you create directories like:
/path/to/foobar.com/images/
/path/to/www.foobar.com/images/
/path/to/baz.com/images/
/path/to/www.baz.com/images/

Local director with multiple virtual servers

I have a local director with 4 interfaces. Two interfaces are used for 2 virtual servers each bound to 2 real servers. The virtuals and the reals are on the same sub-net as the local director's IP address.
I would like to know if I can use the other 2 interfaces to bind 2 real addresses to a third virtual where all three of the address are located on a different Subnet from the servers already present.

Yes this is possible. However, in order to make this work you will need to configure a couple
of things. First, on the Local Director you should configure an 'alias ip address' that belongs in this new subnet. Second, you need to configure a secondary IP address on the upstream router. This will serve several purposes. One, the servers will be able to reach devices outside their own subnet. Two, the router will now belong to this subnet and therefore will be able to ARP for the new virtual.
Hope it helps.

How to configure multiple (virtual) servers?

Hi, I have one public IP (for example: 92.62.26.10)
and 3 servers. Mac Server, Ubuntu Server and Windows server..
Snow Leopard server have 92.62.26.10 & 192.168.1.1
Ubuntu server have 192.168.1.10
Win server have 192.168.1.11
DNS is set to:
mac.domain.com - 92.62.26.10 (it's worked everywhere)
ubuntu.domain.com - 192.168.1.10 (it's not worked everywhere, only in private network or VPN)
win.domain.com - 192.168.1.10 (it's not worked everywhere, only in private network or VPN)
What I need to setup? Proxy or something else?
Thank you

You are running an internal DNS server presumably but don't have these hostnames (A-NAME or C-NAME records) set on external DNS servers.
If you run a whois on your domain you can find our who hosts the DNS for the domain if you don't already know. Often DNS hosting companies will have web based tools for you to edit the DNS entries yourself or alternatively you may need to email them and ask them to create the records.
It sounds like you would like to point the addresses ubuntu.domain.com and win.domain.com to the IP address 92.62.26.10 as well. To do this you will have to make sure the services running on each box use a different port to one another. (I.e. You cannot have something running on port 80 on both servers).
Depending on your router also you may only be able to do basic forwarding (I.e. Port 80 forwards to Mac.domain.com; port 443 forwards to ubuntu.domain.com; port 25 forwards to win.domain.com).
If you need more flexibility you may need to get more external IP addresses.

Another IISPROXY question (multiple SAP systems)

Hi!
We've got a challenge. We have SAP EP (6.0 SP12), visible from outside
(via MS ISA server publishing). Also we have several SAP systems (BW,
ERP2004, Solution Manager), that we want to make available from web.
We installed IIS proxy module on portal server machine. It's working.
I even maneged to publish some test reports and WebGUI of BW server.
But when I try to publish in a simmilar way other system, I fall into
problem.
When you call '/sap/bw/' for example, SAP system after authentication
converts it to something like '/sap(lsdkSDF435ssdgf)/bw'. As far as I
understand between "(" and ")" there is some hash of password or something.
The problem is, that it's true and the same for all SAP systems.
So if I put in iisproxy.xml following strings:
<mapping name="bw">
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/bw/</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/bw</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/</prefix>
</source>
<source>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <prefix>/sap(</prefix>
</source>
<target>
        <protocol>http</protocol>
     <host>bw-server.ourdomain.local</host>
     <port>8000</port>
</target>
<compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
</mapping>
it's working for BW server. We able to see reports and webGUI.
If I try to add following strings for ERP2004 server:
<mapping name="erp">
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bc/gui/sap/</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bc/gui/sap/</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bc/gui/sap</prefix>
          <new-prefix>/sap/bc/gui/sap</new-prefix>
     </source>
     <source>
          <protocol>http</protocol>
          <prefix>/erp/sap/bw/BEx</prefix>

          <port>8000</port>
     </target>
<compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
</mapping>
and try to open webGUI, it redirects to BW server.
A think that's because double '/sap(' prefixes.
How can we avoid that?
Same situation for SolMan.
In portal's 'System Landscape' setup is:
BW system
ITS
    ITS description: CLIxxxSID
    ITS host name: portal-server.ourdomain.ru (this name in accessible from internet, it's a host where portal and IISPROXY are installed)
    ITS path: /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
ERP2004 system
ITS
    ITS description: CLIxxxSID
    ITS host name: portal-server.ourdomain.ru
    ITS path: /erp/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/ (I added /erp/ trying to distinguish request to ERP2004 server), without it it's also not working)
In intranet (if we do not use IISPROXY) everything is working. Of course with other system definitions in System Landscape.
Do I need to provide more details? Or my question is clear?
Thanks in advance for help and support!
Regards,
DK
P.S. Actually I opened an OSS message on this topic (with "high" priority), but no SAP activities since September, 6th :o(

Hi Jayesh!
Seems it's not working :o( And worst thing, that I do not know why :o(
What i've done.
1) Created an alias '/erp/sap/', that points to '/default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui'.
2) In System Landscape edited system definition (of an ERP2004 system), so that ITS path is now '/erp/sap/' and ITS host 'ourportal.ourdomain.ru'.
3) Created an 'SAP transaction iView' that should launch SU01 transaction in ERP2004 system.
Now when I try to open it from page, portal tries to connect me to our BW server.
Seems that alias are working in some other way :o(
Here's what I can see in IISPROXY log:
11:57:29 Filter J2EE --> GET /erp/sap/
11:57:29   7616 Proxy    GET http://erp2004.ourdomain.ru:8000/erp/sap/

11:57:29   7616 Proxy    | GET http://erp2004.ourdomain.ru:8000/erp/sap/ | HTTP/1.1 200 OK | 0.000 | 0.078

So it's still tries to open '/sap(dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui' instead of /erp/sap(
dslkknvDSAFSADVFDSVaslkdv)/
Thanks for help and support!

What am I doing wrong with this filter (counter/frequency issue), probably another newb question.

I extracted the part of my VI that applies here. I have a 6602 DAQ board reading a counter for frequency, using a Cherry Corp proximity sensor. Getting a lot of noise and errant ridiculously high readings. Speed of shaft which it's measuring is currently 2400rpm with one pulse per revolution so 40hz.
Trying to use the express filter VI to clean up the signal and ignore anything over, say, 45hz and under 35hz. No matter what setting I choose I continually get the 20020 error, Analysis: The cut-off frequency, fc, must meet: 0 <= fc <= fs/2. I know this relates to sample period somehow, but for the life of me I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I used this VI without filtering on bench tests with a hand-drill and got perfect output every time. Now it's on the machine and being erratic. Any help here will ease my stress level significantly, thanks.
VI attached
Still confused after 8 years.

Hello Ralph,
I'm not sure about mounting your sensor to your rig, but I can provide a couple ideas about the filtering. Depending on the type of noise, the digital filters on the PCI-6602 could help eliminate the behavior you are seeing. If the noise manifests as a "glitches" or a bouncing signal, you could use another counter with a minimum period to help eliminate the noise. This concept is discussed in greater detail in this KnowledgeBase. I noticed that you are using NI-DAQmx; the practical application of the digital filters on the PCI-6602 in NI-DAQmx is discussed in this KnowledgeBase. A more detailed description of the behavior of these filters is provided in the NI-DAQmx Help (Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ) in the book entitled "Digital Filtering Considerations for TIO-Based Devices".
I also wanted to comment on your original post and explain why you were receiving error -20020. For convenience, I have copied the text of the error code below.
Error -20020 occurred at an unidentified location
Possible reason(s):
Analysis: The cut-off frequency, fc, must meet: 0 <= fc <= fs/2.
I think you may have misunderstood exactly what the Filter express VI does. The Filter express VI takes a series of values in a waveform and performs filtering on those signals. So, it will look at a waveform made up of X and Y values and apply the defined filter to this waveform. Specifically in your application, the cut-off frequency (fc) is the Upper Cut-Off level that you specified in the Filter express VI; any frequency components of the waveform outside of the range you have defined will be filtered. The fs is the sample rate based on the data that you wire to the Signal input of the Filter express VI. In your VI, this data is coming from the DAQ Assistant. So, fs will be the sample rate of the DAQ Assistant and is associated with the rate at which points are acquired. The sample rate does NOT relate to the bandwidth of the signal, except that the Nyquist theorem tells us that the sample rate must be at least twice the signal bandwidth in order to determine periodicity of the signal. So, in this case, the sample rate of the DAQ Assistant would need to be at least double the high cut-off frequency.
However, you are performing a frequency measurement using a counter. I think this is where the confusion comes in. For the frequency measurement using a counter, the DAQ Assistant returns a decimal value which represents the rate of the pulse train being measured by the counter. It does not return the actual waveform that is being read by the counter. It is this waveform that would be band-pass filtered to eliminate frequency content outside of the filter's bandwidth. Instead of the Filter express VI, I would recommend that you simply discard values that are outside the range you specify. I have modified the code you posted earlier to perform this operation. The image below shows the changes that I made; rather than using the Filter express VI, I simply compare the frequency to the "Low Threshold" and "High Threshold". I use a Case structure to display the value on if it is within the limits. Otherwise, I display a "NaN" value. I have also attached the modified VI to this post.

Another Newbie Question, (Sigh) G5 how to open the Dvd Drive, Without an os

Hi all as some of you will know!
I'm pretty new to PM, and osx. Not sure what keyboard buttons to press when first booting up my system,
Ok so heres the Deal bought a 2.0ghz and 2.5ghz powermac G5's from my work, No hard Drives so ive used a couple of 1Tb sata drives out of a couple of old pc's i have knocking about,
1. with no opearating system on the drives how do i get the cd tray to open is their a button or key I press at startup.
2. powered the 2.5 up and got this info (not sure what keys i hit to get this)
User abort
Apple Powermac 7,35.2.4.f1
Boot Rom built on 03/25/05 at 16:41:34
Then some other blurb about shutdown and macboot etc I typed shutdown? I take it that this is it's birthday date!
So Guys what are the short cut keys and what do I need to know.
These are my first ever macs and osx is totally alien to me! So while most of you guys will know this stuff off by heart to me it's another world!
Bye the way luving all of this! Just like my first days with the pc! Only better
ps blasted the inside of the case's with compressed air! Man I cant believe the crap and crud that came out of them.

OK, one of the easiest ways and probably, in a sense, the best way if you are going to install OS fresh, is to boot into Open Firmware (which you actually did as described in your post). You can do this intentionally by holding down the cmd-option-O-F key combination until you get to the open firmware white screen.
Then, type the following command:
eject cd <enter>
which will cause the optical drive tray to come out. Drop the install disc into the tray. Then type
eject cd <enter>
which will cause the tray to close.
Then, type the next three commands to initialize NVRAM and reboot the computer.
reset-nvram <enter>
set-defaults <enter>
reset-all <enter>
Then, as it does the reboot, hold down the 'C' key which will cause the machine to try to boot from the install disc.

Another NewB question about Cubase LE / monitoring and click

I am using Tascam 1804 and Cubase LE on windows XP.
I want to record analog signal on Cubase LE, but hear monitoring from Tascam. That goes well as long I want to hear CLICK as well through Tascam. Is this possible? How?
I have tried to utilize ASIO, no result. I can see that Tascam received click by MIDI (green light blinks according to click), but no click sound from headphones.
Please advice, how to make clicking to Tascam in a simple way.
Thanks,
Jani

What you need to do to monitor VST effects in Cubase in real time whilst recording.
This is Applicable to all EMU patchmix soundcards eg. EMU 0404, 1212.
1. Switch off Direct monitoring in Cubase.
2. Switch off Direct monitoring in patchmix: Mute the input channel(s) you are using in patchmix.
Q. Why does this work?
A. You currently can not hear the effects whilst recording because Cubase is using the unprocessed signal as the monitor signal. What you want it to do is to hear the processed signal. Therefore Switch Off Direct Monitoring.
HOW-TO
= Switch off Direct Monitoring in Cubase =
1. On the toolbar Click on Devices=>Device Setup
2. In Device Setup Click on VST multitrack
3. Untick Direct Monitoring
4. Click on Control Panel Button
5. Set ASIO Buffer Latency to a low figure. Say 5ms
(The lower the Buffer Latency the more the 'responsive' the computer.)
6. Press OK (Your Back in Device Setup)
7. Press OK
HOW-TO
= Mute Input channel(s) you are using in patchmix =
1. Run the patchmix software
2. Click on the M button@ bottem of fader to mute the input channels.
Done :-)

Another newbie question (sorry)---Please recommend a good training book?

And where to order?
Thanks.

All these books are great - and I've read them all and done the exercises. But I have to put in my 2 cents and recommend Larry Jordan's book and web site. The book is well written and understandable. His web site is full of great tips, and his free monthly e-mail newsletter is great. Now, he has a new newsletter called Edit Well published in conjunction with Peachpit Press.
Details on all this at: http://www.larryjordan.biz/
Good Luck! And welcome to Final Cut!

Another newbie question... regarding 7.2.1, 7.2.2, and 7.2.3

Kind of silly that I'm asking this when i havent even gotten my 7.2 yet. But I just want to know beforehand. Which of these, according to general consensus is the least buggy update? From what i've read around, it seems that with each new update, new bugs arise!!! amazing!!!!
According to my specs (macbook pro 2.16 ghz, 2 gb ram) which version do you guys think would be most stable? From what I've gathered 7.2.3 only offers performance improvements for G5's and Mac Pro's so in order to avoid introducing any further bugs, I'm thinking 7.2.2 would be appropriate?
Macbook Pro 15" :: 2.16 Intel Core Duo, 100 GB 7200 rpm HD, 2 GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I need to replace our SBS2003 - we are about 10 users. We use it for:
AD
File/Print
Exchange
SQL
WSUS
Subversion
TrendMicro WFBS
Since there is no current follow up product I feel like I need to setup:
Server 2012 R2
Exchange 2013
SQL Server 2012 Express
I found inconsistent information on how many virtual servers I will need. Is it correct that in contrast to SBS I must have multiple (virtual) servers?
What is best practice for this scenario (# of VM's, "what" goes best with "what", sizes ..)
Thanks a lot for your help .. I have a very good knowledge about the SBS2003 but unfortunately not about the later Standard Server Versions.

Well.. best practice would suggest,
1 VM - DC
1 VM - Exchange
1 VM - SQL
Reality though, suggests they may not be required.
What do you 'need'?, is a better question.
Can you move to hosted exchange?
You can certainly use the Hosted Trend Micro AV product which removes the requirement to run a console on your server.
Perhaps 2 VMs would be sufficient a DC, and a second to host your applications and WSUS.

Defining virtual servers using content-rules

Can multiple virtual servers be "bound" to a single real server when all of the virtual servers have the same ip address and port, with the only difference between each virtual server being a unique content rule applied to each? (This is more of a migration issue, than a load-balance issue)

I assume you are saying Web(HTTP) and the answer is yes.
1. Your server should has name-based virtual hosting enabled if your server only use 1 IP address.
2. In CSS, you can use single service for this server or use different services with different keepalive uri for each service.
3. You can use a number of unique Content rules (same VIP, TCP 80 with different URLs) and add the service to it.
Remarks: If you want to use unique Content rules, you should make them difference with URL, otherwise all the content rules are the same and you can't activate all.
Another suggestion: If your server already support Name-VHOST, you can use just single L4 Content rule and all the traffic would be handled by that server (service).

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers
