Hosting websites question

Okay. I'm brand spankin new to OSX Server. I can't seem to figure out how to host a website from my computer. Can anyone help me?

If you don't already have a domain name, register one using one of these services; you will then need to wait for the domain name to propogate through the DNS servers that resolve hostnames to IP addresses.

Opinion For my hosting website

hey guys im almost finished designing my hosting website,
however i do think the navigation menu is a little bit to light?
Anyhow i would appreciate any feedback so i can make any changes
thanks!!

Hello,
There are quite a few typos in your TOS page.
Incase, you responsibility, etc.
And on your support page:
for you web hosting, supirior customer support,
collaberating, Mercahnt
account, etc...
A number on the FAQ page as well.
Our network where built, cPane has to offer you! , If there
is a questions
Sorry if it looks like nitpicking, but I think some people
really may be put
off by that.
Do you maintain your own servers? If so, you might want to
put in a page on
that technical info.
If it's reseller, like for hostgator, disregard.
Also, just out of curiosity, is it hostly on, or host lyon
(like lion)?
Take care,
Tim

Who will host websites when apple no longer supports this in iweb

Who will host websites when apple no longer supports this in iweb?

Has any one tried 1&1 Internet Linux hosting package?
https://order.1and1.co.uk/Hosting;?linkType=&linkOrigin=&linkid=hd.tab.hosting.p ackageselection
They fully support Mac users – I should be able to upload the files from iWeb and use the files on their Linux hosting package. Past experience is Sales; Info and Tech support teams at 1&1 are always very prompt and helpful. Just wanted second opinion before committing.
I gather 1&1 Internet also support Adobe Muse hosting.

Trouble with the hosted website from a page viewer web part. (Sahrepoint 2010)

Hi everyone,
I am facing trouble with sharepoint and I would like some help.
I use Sharepoint 2010 and I have included a page viewer page part in one the pages I 've created that hosts another website. Although most of the functionality of the hosted website is there, some functions of it don't work. These functions are apply buttons
or downloading documents buttons. My guess is that the web part has to update dynamically and it should be independent from the Sharepoint page.
Is there a way to do this? It is important that the website is hosted in the since at the same page I have s guide on how to use the hosted website.
If this can't be done using a page viewer webpart I am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance!
Sakis

Is it possible that the hosted website page is using HTML5 of other functionality that isn't supported by the IE-8 restriction in the SharePoint master page? We've run into that before, where the page wouldn't work in the page viewer. I also had problems
where Chrome/Firefox wouldn't display a pager viewer when it crossed hosts/changed protocol.
What I had to do was add some javascript/Jquery to pop up another window to view the page if I wasn't on IE, getting out of the restriction of the SharePoint master page. If I was in IE the page viewer webpart worked. Not ideal, but maybe you could
adapt - they could see your instructions on the page but work with the host page on another.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Javascript/JQuery/JQueryMin-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false || document.documentMode;
if(!isIE) {
window.open('http://fmgblog/measure/email/dashboard.php');
}); // end of document ready

Cisco ASA and Internal Hosted Website

I have a Cisco ASA 8.4. I have an internal website for an application that they use both internal and externally (app.domain.com/app is 10.0.0.3) The company that hosts their External Website and DNS created a record that points to http://app.domain.com/app to their public ip 1.2.3.4. Externally everything works great I have port forward for 80 working. The problem is that when the users bring their laptops in to the office they are unable to get to the interanlly hosted website. I think the the firewall is having an issue letting the traffic back in. If i use the internal DNS and create a zone for domain.com with an A record for app.domain.com and point it to 10.0.0.3 the internal address..it works. Of course when they try to access the external website it does not work. So if create an A record that points to the web hosts address, it kinda of works...parts of the website don't come up. I really think I there is something like a hairpin or u-turn that needs to be done. Oh by the way this is my first real experince with an ASA. The Symantec Gateway they had worked great. I looked in the config and there were no hairpin or crazy rules, just the standard port forward for 80. Any ideas? I have tried several suggestions i found on the web, but none have worked.
Thanks
Nick

Hi,
The main problem with such setup (from the ASAs perspective) is usually that the NAT for the server is configured from certain source interface towards some destination interface.
You might for example have this configuration
object network WEB-SERVER
host 10.0.0.3
nat (inside,outside) static interface service 80 80
This would enable connectivity from the behind "outside" interface towards which the translation is configured but not from behind "inside".
I am not sure how different vendor firewalls handle this situation if you say that you only had the original Static PAT configuration towards the external interface.
If you wanted to enable connectivity to the public IP address from your LAN you would have to make a NAT towards the "inside" interface from the "inside" interface. And thats not all. You would also have to configure Dynamic PAT for the source hosts on the LAN behind "inside". The reason for this is that the ASA needs to see the whole TCP conversation between the client/server and since we PAT all the users to the ASA "inside" interface IP address that makes sure that ASA sees the whole conversation between the hosts.
So you could try this configuration on the ASA
object network PUBLIC-IP
host
object network WEB-SERVER
host 10.0.0.3
object network LAN
subnet
nat (inside,inside) 1 source dynamic LAN interface destination static PUBLIC-IP WEB-SERVER
The above configuration would essentially look for connections coming from behind "inside" interface from the source address belonging to LAN to the destination IP address of PUBLIC-IP and proceed to UN-NAT the PUBLIC-IP to WEB-SERVER and PAT the source address to "interface" (inside interface IP address)
You would also perhaps needs to add this command
same-security-traffic permit intra-interface
This enabled the ASA to pass traffic through the same interface that the traffic arrived in. So basically do that Hairpin/U-turn
You can check the current configuration with the command
show run same-security-traffic
Do notice that there is a similiar command with a different parameter at the end (inter-interface vs. intra-interface). So check that you have the correct one.
Hope this helps
Let me know how it goes

Auto display of disclaimer to client leaving hosted websites

we want to be able to let web clients know when they are leaving our hosted websites for other linked pages via a disclaimer. is there a Cisco product that will detect when a client is leaving one of our hosted web sites/applications and either give the user a pop up or a web redirect to a disclaimer letting them know that they are going to an outside entity web site?
thanks for the help

Not that I know of off hand. Why not have your developer write a small app and keep a database of external links they want to create. Then link to http://www.yoursite.com/redirect.php?id=SomeString and then on the redirect page have it say "You're leaving our site...click here to continue or go back" or whatever you want it to say.
Cost effective and not that hard to do.

Error while Exporting large data from Reportviewer on azure hosted website.

I have website hosted on azure. I used SSRS reportviewer control to showcase my reports. while doing so i faced an issue.
Whenever i export large amount of data as Excel/PDF/word/tiff it abruptly throw following error:

It works locally (developer machine) or having less data. But it didn't work with large data when publish on azure.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry, let me clarify my questions as they were ambiguous:
For a given set if input, does the request always take the same amount of time to fail? How long does it take?
When it works (e.g. on local machine using same input), how big is the output file that gets downloaded?
Also, if you can share your site name (directly or
indirectly), and the UTC time where you made an attempt, we may be able to get more info on our side.

Host aliases question

I have been trying with no success to get a website to respond on both www.example.com and example.com . In DNS I have a
C record for example.com
A record for www.example.com
If I set up web services with the host name of example.com and an alias to www.example.com, When I request example.com, I get an "Access Forbidden Error" 403 error. Typing www.example.com works though.
Any help would be appreciated.
Scott

Hi there. I do have the same question:
actually, to me, it sounds like you have a totally different question..
Thanks for your advice. I might have missed the point, but what I want is my website responding to both example.com and www.example.com.
You're asking this question the wrong way around. You do not 'setup your DNS' to tell your web server what to to. Instead you setup your web server to respond to different hostnames it may encounter.
I might be wrong - but a simple alias for a site (or better: a hostname) is not enough; to resolve, at least a CNAME (like WWW) is needed. But I think we're talking about the same thing.
There is no automatic link between DNS and web service.
Clear to me. It just needs both entries - WWW as CNAME and www.example.com as hostname-alias - correct?!
You either need to create multiple sites in your web server, one for each hostname you want to respond to, or setup one and add other hostnames that should map to it in the Aliases section of Server Admin.
Yep - but as you wrote later on, it's not possible to create a wildcard for a site for the whole zone (example.com), so it would respond to any request on port 80 on the zone name.
Server Admin DNS does not support the creation of wildcard records. You can add them manually but then have to eschew using Server Admin to manage your DNS. That said, if you're using split DNS you're likely already beyond Server Admin because it can't handle split DNS either.
Thanks, so I definitely have to give up on SA for this. Quite a pain, thinking of many customer's setups, who want to manage the whole stuff through the GUI
All the best from Zurich

Changing email host url question

Hey guys,
So I know it's possible to change the email host url via the pro options in the email settings. My question is, say I were to change the url from helpdesk.oldcompanyname.com to helpdesk.newcompanyname.com, would the links from old tickets still work or will they fail to load anything because the url has changed?
To be more clear, will clicking on a link from an old ticket redirect to the new url?

Hosting website on BC but using Network Solutions for receiving emails

We have our domain name registered through Network Solutions and our emails also go through them. We went live with our Muse website (www.martellaprinting.com) by changing the A Record on NS's end by pointing to IP address 54.236.189.61. Previously, our website was pointing to some other IP 74.xxx.xxx.xx. We were advised not to redelegate to BCs World securesystems name servers because we wished to continue using NetSolutions for emails and not wipe out our existing MX records. I obtained the MX records plus 2 CNAME records, one was mail.martellaprinting.com and the other smtp.martellaprinting.com. I've spoken with NetSolutions and they say everything looks fine on their end (MX records, CNAME records.) What do I need to do in the Business Catalyst Site Settings/Site Domains? All of this is happening because, of course, we can no longer receive our emails via the email client (Thunderbird.)

Funny how life is, i have the exact reverse question to this...
How do you host just emails on BC (meanwhile porting the whole site that is hosted somewhere else with a one year contract)
A good client of mine and friend (that will redo is site with us on BC in nov 2014) received, a couple of week ago and email saying that thier hosting company for thier actual site, wont be supporting emails anymore...
they are offering my client to go the google way... which is not a bad solution.
However, it cost 50$/year per account.
i am the one who registred their 8 domains... (so i can modify the MX at the registrar.)
could i have one of them point it's MX to a BC hosting plan, while keeping it's DNS pointing to the actual website
Then tell the main domain's email to redirect to the BC one?
does that make any sence to you?
to recap:
My client has a website and hosting. but will lose email service by the end of january.
They have 5 accounts they need to keep them alive.
Could i use BC to host theses account, not the website. (not until nov 2014)
... then at the end of their website hosting contract with the other firm, we will host everything on BC (cos they allready paid for a year)
and they are a non profit organisation so they dont have tons of cash to spend
hope you all could understand my English.
i really need help with this.
best regards,
ive d.

Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003 broke our online connection to our self-hosted website

We have two office computers with Microsoft Server 2003. On one of these machines, we have hosted our own website for about 10 years. Eveything worked well until yesterday night, when Microsoft upgraded our webhost machine with Service Pack 2. When
it was done, the only noticeable result is that we lost an internet connection to our own website. We had upgraded our other office server with Service Pack 2 a number of years ago, but that had no negative effect on our operations.
Our website, originally created with ASP.Net in Visual Studio 2005, is a relatively simple one, almost all text-based, with a default.htm home page which comes up on any browser, and from which users can use click buttons to move to secondary
pages. Now, following the Service Pack 2 downloading last night, all that shows up on a browser screen when someone seeks our website is a bold-face "FOLDER LISTING../" message.
We under standard there is a program feature that directs a website visitor directly to the home page of that website.
So what is that program feature? Where do we find it? How do we reconstruct it or modify it so that our website default.htm home page appears on the screen?
We intend to upgrade our two office servers to Microsoft Server 2012 within a few months. But we would be most unhappy to be told that we must pay a tech consultant a hefty service charge to restore or repair a vital link that Microsoft's
operating system service pack destroyed, even if inadvertantly.

You should be able to configure that on IIS level. See that: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/defaultdocument

How to access the local server host website in the internet

I set up the server and host on local website, I wonder how I could use other mac to access this local website via the internet?
Thanks!

The following should give you enough to search for discussions, as well as some general details of IP network gizmos and boxes: You'll need an ISP tier of service that allows remote access and preferably with a static IP address (static versus dynamic IP). This as various ISPs prohibit server-oriented protocols such as HTTP TCP port 80 traffic, and some firewall server-oriented ports. You'll then either need to use either dynamic DNS with your public dynamic IP — this is the hacking-around and not-really-for-production approach — or static IP with traditional DNS, and you'll also need to enable what's called port forwarding (sometimes also called virtual server) through your gateway-firewall-NAT device and into your server for TCP port 80 and possibly also TCP port 443. This port forwarding gets the incoming connections from the 'net into your public IP address (static or dynamic) mapped through to your NAT'd IP address space and your private IP address for your server.
As the first part of getting any of this to work with OS X Server, launch Terminal.app on the server and issue the following harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
This checks for common errors in the local DNS setup, and broken networking and broken DNS tends to cause other errors elsewhere in the environment. You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, you might get a one-time informational message from the sudo, and you'll then get some configuration details and then an indication that DNS and local networking needs no changes, or that there are configuration issues.

Xfa.host.SetFocus question.

I have a code on Exit event of the field that checks if 5 digit US ZIP code, 5 digit US ZIP code + 4, and 6 digit alphanumeric Canadian Postal Code.
If user enters valid 5 digits code, then I set focus to specific field-FField1. Code is simple and it works. What does not work is, if I tab out , without entering anyting in the Zip code, the focus is set to some other field, not FField1. How can I force it with the code that focus is set to FField1 all the time.
Code is simple:
var regExpDate = /^\^\d{5}-\d{4}|\d{5}|[A-Z]\d[A-Z] \d[A-Z]\d$ $/;
var vMatched = this.rawValue.match(regExpDate);
if (!vMatched){
this.rawValue=null;
xfa.host.messageBox("Enter the following format: 99999 or 99999-9999 or A9A 9A9 );
xfa.host.setFocus(this);
else
xfa.host.setFocus(form1.subform1.FField1);

Hi again 1996,
You can use setFocus multiple times in the exit event, and the last one that is called is where you end up. I would suggest putting the 'default' tab before all of your logic, to ensure that it's the one that gets called when the field is valid:
i.e.:
xfa.host.setFocus(form1.subform1.FField1);
var regExpDate = /^\^\d{5}-\d{4}|\d{5}|[A-Z]\d[A-Z] \d[A-Z]\d$ $/;
var vMatched = this.rawValue.match(regExpDate);
if (!vMatched){
this.rawValue=null;
xfa.host.messageBox("Enter the following format: 99999 or 99999-9999 or A9A 9A9 );
xfa.host.setFocus(this);
This way, unless vMatched is true and the second setFocus is called to override the first, your user should always be sent to FField1.
I know that this isn't a part of your question, but I'd like to suggest avoiding the 'thou shalt not pass until...' situations. What if your user doesn't know the postal/zip code, and wants to fill in the rest of the form before finding it? They could enter dummy data to get past your requirement, but then there's a chance that they'll forget to replace it with the real value. Altogether, I think it's better to check for invalid data in the pre-save/pre-submit events, and warn them of the required fields then.
Also, consider only calling setFocus for when the user is tabbing away from fields. If you manually call setFocus to control the tab order from all fields (I do this for all of my forms, as I find that dynamic forms don't play nice with the tab order) then use:
if (xfa.event.commitKey == 3) then
xfa.host.setFocus("$.parent.NextFieldName");
endif
This way, if the user clicks on another field that they want to fill next, they won't be redirected to the one you chose for them.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice... These were just some of the things that I've had to deal with in the past.

Host website and email on my Snow Leopard Server

Hi. I have a customer who currently has a hosting company for his emails and website. He recently bought a Mac Leopard Server which I set up on the network which now he wants to host his web site (be a web server) as well as his own Mail Server (with his email addresses hosted himself). The ISP provides him with a static IP address, he has a registered domain name with GoDaddy. How do I go about providing this service to him on the Mac Server and what do i fill in as the default DNS name on the Server? Additionally what ports do I open on the ISP firewall and how and where do I store the website files for hosting the the website? I prefer not to host DNS on this Server as it is a small network how can I configure the MX record for this site then? Thanks.

This is not a trivial task. Getting a Mac to act as a web server is trivial, provided you either can do with the default settings or are capable of managing an Apache web server. However, making that available on the web in general and making it the server responsible for maintaining the company web site is another thing entirely.
First, a static IP address is not the same thing as a connection appropriate for a web server. Unless your client has paid for an internet connection that will allow such use, his ISP may very well cut him off as soon as they discover he's using it to run a server. Paying for such a connection will be much more expensive than just paying for a static IP address. And unless he's really paying a lot, the site will be slower than most web sites.
Similarly, he's going to have to pay for someone to be on call 24-7 to fix server issues. He'll also need to have backup hardware in case of hardware failure. For example, if the hard drive in the server dies, he may not be able to afford a few days' downtime while a new hard drive is bought, the old one replaced and all the software and data reinstalled/restored on the new drive. If the site is at all important, I wouldn't consider anything less than a second server kept entirely synced with the primary one so they can be swapped out at a moment's notice.
Honestly, given all the extra costs of running your own server, it's actually cheaper to just pay for hosting on a decent service provider. (GoDaddy is not one I would consider decent, so if he's having issues, switching hosts is probably the better option.)
Now, if he just wants a small, in-house server that won't be seeing much traffic, that's definitely possible. But, as already pointed out, that would be better discussed on the server forums. Although some folks here will have experience setting up a web server on a standard copy of Mac OS X, many/most of them have no experience with Mac OS X Server.
