How to configure apache to avoid risks while hosting your domain

Hi all
I am trying to host my personal site on my machine, and after configuring the personal web i am able to see the apache page when i go to my ip address (the real one, not the one from my router).
Now, i have little experience with apache on pc, and i remember that there was a bunch of files to set up authentication, users allowed to log in into your site, restrictions to avoid that some guy will sneak on the machine and get out of the web folder....etc.
Can someone please point me to the right info about how to configure apache on Leopard to avoid unwanted risks while simply hosting a site and a wiki?
Thanks!

Leopard client only has a User Interface to turn web sharing on or off. If you want to modify apache you have to do via the command line in the terminal client.
Out of the box Leopard is configured so that only your sites folder is accessible. and the systemwide webfolder located at /Library/WebServer/Documents
so if you want your sites folder to be accessible and not the main webserver folder can rename that folder to Documents.bak for example.

How to configure apache for ssl in windows platform

hi all,
can anyone help me expalin how to configure apache for ssl in windows platform.

George,
I would take the following 'first steps'
1)Install Apache20 on your Windows machine following the Apache online documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/tutorials.html
2)Make sure you can 'serve up' static HTML content from your Apache Server
3)Install Weblogic Server per our online documentation
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/install/index.html
4)Also, make sure you can 'serve up' both static and dynamic (e.g., JSP) content
directly from WLS server
5)Once you have both of the above 'sanity' checks attempt to configure a simple
proxy by ppath or mime type via our online documentation

How to configure Apache Virtual Hosts?

Hi, I was wondering, how does configure Apache virtual hosts for Mac OS X Client 10.4.5? At this time, I have added
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/janus
ServerName janus.php.test
ErrorLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-error_log
CustomLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Finally, when I try to use the name in the browser, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://janus.php.test/” because it can’t find the server “janus.php.test”.
Well, I must go and thanks in advance.
Peace,

If you want to use the fqdn you defined and can/do not want to register it as a Internet Domain you can add it to the hosts file in /etc/hosts if you are comfortable using terminal and the shell
open a terminal
and use the following commands
cd /etc
sudo vim hosts
(you will be prompted for your password here, enter it and hit return)
in vim scroll to the last line which will look like
::1 localhost
type
i
(you are now in insert mode)
type the following line
192.168.0.15 janus.php.test
(replace the ip address with the ip address of the host in question)
hit Control-C
type
:w (vim will confirm in the last line)
type
:q
you are back at the terminal
test your new hosts file by typing
ping janus.php.test
Hope this helps

How to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable...... :(

how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.

Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

How to Configure Apache Web Server with Tomcat web container in Linux

The simple answer is to download a web server that has a web container already integrated on it, so all that painful configuration work is avoided.
You can use the mature SJS Web Server 6.1 SP5 at
http://www.sun.com/webserver
Or you can try a preview of the upcoming version at
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=446518d5
You will get better performance and security, with easy of use, at about the same price ;)

How to configure Apache/Portal to service 2 separate groups of users

Before someone say this is a Portal issue - please read on.
I would like to know how to configure Portal to service 2 separate groups of * Internet * users (A and B) all within the same installation so that when a user enters www.aaa.com or www.bbb.com that user is directed to a public page for that group only.
Currently, when a user of either group enters www.aaa.com or www.bbb.com they arrive at the same public page where they can click on a link and goto their respective private pages (SSO Protected) after logging in.
My installation facts
infra - host1.mycompany.com
portal - host2.mycompany.com (www.aaa.com and www.bbb.com are pointing to this host)
j2ee - host3.mycompany.com
I have configured web-cache to listen on port 80 and direct all requests to host2.mycompany.com:7778.
I used RedirectMatch within host2 httpd.conf to redirect any request to the portal public page.
I wondering if it is possible to read the "IP NAME" and do a RedirectMatch on it. In other words when a request come into the Apache listener - is it seeing an IP address request or an IP name ie "www.aaa.com". Because if it is - then there may be some way to redirect based upon that. My assumption is the "http://www.aaa.com" cannot be read by RedirectMatch - only the portion after "http://www.aaa.com/mypage" ie "mypage.
Any help is appreciated!
Bill G...

I don't think the issue is one of Apache (not even sure it's one of named virtual hosts since you want both sites to serve the same content). The issue is one of having multiple .local names point to the same machine.
I don't know this can be done without your own DNS server running in the network.

How to configure apache

Hi all!
My web server used apache.
OS:solaris
I have installed oracle client.
But i can not connected db with jdbc_oci.
How can i configure to implement web query?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have no experience with nginx and varnish and asking configuration problems regarding these products is perhaps beyond the scope of this forum.
While configuring varnish, we are getting issues and unable to connect server from my browser if I change port 80.
You did not describe the issues, but it is possible and very common that your IP Firewall is blocking access to ports other than 80 and 22. For testing, you can simply turn it off. If you do not know how, please post your OS distribution version first, as it all depends.

How to configure Apache to serve static content? Please Help

Hi Guys,
I have a set of servers that are:
- Apache acting as a Load Balance;
- Admin Server;
- A cluster with 2 managed servers.
I have a web application deployed on my cluster, but I would like that the static content would be delivered by the Apache.
How should I do it?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Daniel,
A Reverse Proxy could do this but keep in mind that the primary goal of the RP is to shield your back channel infrastructure IP/access from either Internet or your private network e.g. secure your back channel infrastructure with a Firewall and expose it only to your Reverse Proxy infrastructure; quite effective for DoS type of attack.
Apache can be configured to do both static content as well as Reverse Proxy.

How to configure Apache Plug-in CookieName for multiple session cookies?

I'm deploying an ear file with 2 web applications (.war files) in it and each .war
has its own CookieName defined in the weblogic.xml file. I need to set up the
Apache plugin for Weblogic to look at both of them and not just one. Can I simply
add both CookieName lines into my httpd.conf or will this not work?
Thanks,
-wr

We are facing exactly the same need.
If you tested it and got answers, we will be happy to hear from you.
Concerning alternatives, we thought of defining the CookiePath to the contextroot of each WebApp. In our case, the name (and so then the contextroot) of our WebApps is always changing (it includes the version number), so we would have to change the weblogic.xml at each build which we would like to avoid ...
Apparently the CookiePath can also be set to a "basis" for "begings with" test. See http://groups.google.fr/groups?q=weblogic.xml session-param CookiePath&hl=fr&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=3e84a75a%[email protected]&rnum=1 so it could be less harmfull but anyway we do not put too much confidence into this kind of behaviour for future WLS sp/versions :(
Any help appreciated,

How to configure SC dependencies in SLD (while creating DCs)

Hi
I have gone through some pdf but still i am not clear how and why DCs are used.... what is advantages of using DCs?
I am trying to work on DCs(Development Components)... i have gone through one PDFs... In that first they have created product and software component... and they define SC dependencies after that they define a track....
after finishing this configuration they have created the development components(DCs) in NWDS....
Is it neccessary to created product and software component and all... if its yes please tell me why?.....
I have created Products and Software components but i dont know how to create Dependencies and how to defice track....
So please give me a clear picture on DCs......
please help me
Thanks & Regards
Ravi Shankar B

Hi Ravi,
If you want to create DC there is no need to create software component and product , DC itself is a indepenedent container. DC is used to share different DC's
example:
dc1 -> go to your componect -> click add to public part (by addition your dc to public part it becomes available)
dc2-> dcmetadata -> used dc's ->right click -> add used dc's
in dc2 you will get all reference to all the compoenent for which u have done public part
Hope it is becomes clear to you now.

How To configure Apache As Reverse Proxy for SharePoint Application

Hi,
I recently integrated Apache as ReverseProxy for SharePoint 2010. When accessing the SharePoint application via the reverse proxy url e.g. http://<reverse-proxy-url>/SitePages/Home.aspx the images/css and JavaScript files does not comeup
fine.
I had defined the following mapping in the httpd.conf file.
ProxyPass /SitePages http://<actual-url>/SitePages
<Location /SitePages>
ProxyPassReverse http://<actual-url>/SitePages
SetEnv force-nokeepalive 1

How to configure connection to AD from a hosted environment

Hi there,
I am in the process of planning a migration from our current SP 2010 environment to SP 2013 that is being hosted outside of our network.
I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction of how I go about setting up a connection to our AD server inside our network to this SP environment that will be outside our network?
Thanks

Or you could talk to them about setting up ADFS. This won't require a forest trust (which hosting providers normally don't do). ADFS is based on certificates, and allows SharePoint to use credentials from your organizations AD. It will require work on
their end as well as on your end. See this article for more information:
