Problems modifying the httpd.conf file

We are running Flash Media Server 4.5 on Windows Server 2008. We want to move the vod folder which by default is in webroot. We create a new vod folder and then modify the httpd.conf file so that it points to the new vod location. We then stop and restart the Flash Media Server service. However, the server acts like the old paths are cached somewhere in the system. Videos in the new vod folder do not work. Videos in the old vod folder open even though the httpd.conf file was modified.
We made sure that the client browsers on which we tested this had their cache cleared.
Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?

Thanks for your reply! I tried restarting the FMSHttpd service separately. Still encountering this issue, however.
Here's what we are doing:
1. We create a new vod folder.
2. We modify the httpd.conf file in Flash Media folder -> Apache2.2 -> conf so that it points to the new vod location. For example, we make a modification to HttpStreamingContentPath like the following:
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "..\..\[new vod folder]"
    HttpStreamingJITConfAllowed true
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
#   EncryptionScope server
#   ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
3. We restart the FMSHttpd service.
After doing this, we find that the path to the old vod folder is still working. Videos in the new vod folder don't open as expected.
Are there any other steps that we should be taking? Many thanks for any help.

I need to download the httpd.conf file included in Yosemite update.

Where can I go to re-download the version of the httpd.conf that is included with the Yosemite update. Yosemite upgrades to a later version of Apache, and it puts a new httpd.conf file on the machine. When I update, my localhost server stopped working, and in my attempts to get it working again, I accidentally overwrite the file. So, I would like to get my machine back to the point of the update, so I can do a better job of correcting the problems, and getting localhost working again. Does anyone have a URL or anything I can go to to get a fresh version of httpd.conf for Yosemite? Thanks very much.

Yes, somebody could, but that is illegal. I'm sure you can understand that given this site is Apple's.
You can extract what you want from the installer package if you know how to Pacifist and have a copy of the installer application. Or if you own another computer running Yosemite, then you can get a copy from it.
If you ask someone to send you a copy while on these forums, then it's likely the moderators will dismiss you for the violation. I understand your situation, but no one here can help you without it causing a stink. I hope you understand.

Httpd.conf file missing in action

This is a weird one. I want to modify my httpd.conf file so my URL's all default to lower case. I'm using MAMP, so I navigated to Applications > MAMP, opened the file, modified it and restarted my server. (I also modified an .htaccess file.)
I then added the code LogLevel trace8 to my config file, with the understanding that I would see more "verbose" messages in my error log. Afterr restarting my servers, I reloaded my web page, then checked the log - nothing changed. That is, the log is recording my activity, but it doesn't display "verbose" messages.
Someone who was helping me on an Apache forum came to thte conclusion that my httpd.conf fiile isn't being used. So I typed httpd.conf into Apple's finder and, sure enough, I found half a dozen files with that name. I couldn't determine which is the right one, so I modifed all of them and restarted my serverrs again. There's STILL no change in my URL's, and my log is still recording generic messages.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem? First, am I correct in understanding that there must be at least ONE active httpd.conf files in order for my sites to function? If so, then I know there must be an invisible httpd.conf file somewhere on my MacBook that I need to locate.
Also, is it possible for error messages to be written to more than one Apache log at a time? It's just so strange that the error log in my Applications > MAMP folder is keeping tabs on the web pages I visit when the httpd.conf file in the same folder is apparently doing nothing.
Thanks for any tips.

MAMP is not Apple software and is well outside the normal 'consumer' stuff they deal with in Apple stores, I therefore don't think a Genius would be either will or able to investigate this. However I can provide the following information and maybe others who have used MAMP can provide more.
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf is the file used on a standard OS X Mac
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf is the equivalent file used on a Mac server if you have installed Apple's Server.app
I have seen conflicting comments suggesting the location for the equivalent file for MAMP is -
/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
or
~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/httpd.conf

Apache httpd.conf file pointing to Portal

How do I define a virtual host in an Apache httpd.conf file that points to a portal page?

Hi,
If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
least one IP address (and port number) for them.
Here is a sample from the httpd.conf file
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78
NameVirtualHost 130.35.92.126
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#<VirtualHost ip.address.of.host.some_domain.com>
# ServerAdmin [email protected]_domain.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
# ServerName host.some_domain.com
# ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost <130.35.92.126>
DocumentRoot /webdb/apache80_1/Apache/Apache/htdocs
ServerName domain1.com
ServerAlias domain1
#ErrorLog /webdb/apache80_1/Apache/Apache/logs/httpds_error_log
#CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
You can copy the above lines and change the domain1 and the ip address to the name of your domain and the ip address of your machine.
Thanks,

Look in the Originals folder inside the apache2 folder. Make a copy of the original httpd.conf file.

Securing the JASS CONF file

Hi,
I have put the JASS conf file as a resource in a signed JAR file. I did this so someone cannot alter this file. I also set the location of the file in the code right before I use it by setting the environment variable java.security.auth.login.config. Can anyone find a hole in this technique? The other option is to set the location as a URL on the web server and set the location of the file by using the environment variable java.security.auth.login.config.
Thanks,
- Bob

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any specifics on
how the JAAS conf file in a signed jar could be
hacked.The security issues of client-side JAAS have been brought up several times in this forum. Securing the config file as you do it eliminates the easiest way of replacing a login module on the client, but I remember another forum message where the author replaced the related login module in rt.jar by his own, malicious implementation. You cannot prevent that with your approach.
Another other issue (not security-related) with the client-side JAAS config, delivered in a signed JAR, is that you are giving up one key advantage of JAAS, the ease of exchanging the authentication mechanism.
Accessing it via a (secure) web connection from the server is a way to address that, though, as you suggest.

Editing the httpd.conf

Is there a specific point to edit the httpd.conf for virtual paths?

Hi there,
Try running the following command from your imageserver directory:
chmod -R 755
This does a recursive chmod that gives everybody read and execute permissions, and only the owner write permissions on the imageserver tree.
For more info on chmod, you can run the following command on your Linux box:
man chmod
Hope this helps,
Brian

Removing, installing or ugrade itune problem and the bonjour.msi file

Finaly, i got it .
this is the answer to all problem we the bonjour.msi file
after 10 days looking to killed this file i yes found from other member that the soft. Revo Uninstall Pro. will removed and uninstall the file and any trace of it , im not expert on soft but was yes a simple scan and them select all and deleted., that work , i was able to install the itunes and is running again , and the pro. version of the soft. is free for 30 days no need to input cc or any large info. yes visit the webpage http://www.revouninstaller.com/

If I use the control panel to uninstall ITunes it also asks for a CD-ROM.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error in the isqlplus.conf file?

Is there anyone else out there that gets this message? Each time I try to run my HTTP server to access iSQL*Plus, I get:
"Syntax error on line 92 of c:/oracle/ora92/sqlplus/admin/isqlplus.conf: FastCgiServer: redefinition of a previously defined FastCGI server "c:/oracle/ora92/bin/isqlplus"
Does anyone know how I can adjust this config file, or otherwise fix this problem?
Other than that, the Enterprise edition is up and running, including the SQL Plus app.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Alison,
Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I tried both of these, and neither seems to apply:
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_duplicate_entriesAt first, I thought this would be the problem, since I installed twice, but there was only one oracle_apache.conf file in the directory...
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_mutex_errorThis one actually talks about a different config file. I'm getting errors on my isqlplus.conf file. It's saying that there's an error b/c of "FastCGIServer: Redefinition of a previously defined Fast CGI Server" Here's what the config file looks like on that (in relevant part):
# Maps all virtual paths beginning with "/isqlplus*" to the iSQL*Plus
# FastCGI application
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
ScriptAliasMatch ^/isqlplus(.*) C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus
ScriptAliasMatch ^/isqlplusdba(.*) C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus
<Directory "C:\oracle\ora92\bin">
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
The other reference to the FastCGI server is here: <<#
# Setup the iSQL*Plus FastCGI application.
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCgiServer C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus -port 8228 -initial-env iSQLPlusNumberOfThreads=20 -initial-env iSQLPlusTimeOutInterval=30 -initial-env iSQLPlusLogLevel=off -initial-env iSQLPlusAllowUserEntMap=none -idle-timeout 3600
</IfModule>
Not sure about where else this FastCGI Server might be called, but it looks like one of the definitions is typographically different from the other. Could this be the issue?

Modify the initrd.gz file on Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd

We are having issues with the Dell Optiplex 755 model with our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd but we found the issue.
By remming (using the # symbol) out certain lines in the install.s file we are able to successfully intall the Zen Partition To test this out we ran manual from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd and copied the install.s from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd onto the Zen Partition and we modified the few lines in the install.s file (using the # symbol as mentioned earlier) and the ran install.s from the hard drive and it worked great! Running install.s from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd however generates errors.
Here's the problem, we need to incorporate the changes to the install.s file into our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd.
Now the install.s is located in the initrd.gz file, and the initrd.gz file is located at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd (bootcd.iso was copied from SYS:\Public\Zenworks\Imaging).
We normally use the Slackware 10.2 Linux to compile drivers for our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd box as it uses the kernel 2.4.31 which is the kernel of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd.
How can we modify the install.s in the initrd.gz, and then include the new initrd.gz file which is located at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd?
Also, does other files such as isolinux.cfg have to be factored in as well?
We read some documentation on Novell's support but it keeps referring to initrd and not initrd.gz, also in the documentation I read it states that initrd is located in the /boot/loader on the bootcd, but we don't have these directories on our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd and we don't have initrd but we do have initrd.gz at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd as mentioned previously. We used our Slackware 10.2 Linux box to follow this documentation link below.
Here's the link to the document we were doing for Netware 6.5 SP2 and earlier, we didn't use the Zenworks 7 approach:

[SOLVED] Problems changing the max open files attribute (ulimit)

I'm trying to change the max open files by
putting this line to /etc/security/limits.conf
<username> hard nofile 4096
but nothing changes ('ulimit -n' spits as 1024 as an answer).
I did try to logout and log back in and reboot the
system but no go
P.S. I also tried adding 'ulimit -n 4096' to ~/.bashrc
but then I get:
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
so should I add it to the global profile file
(etc/profile right?) or to /root/.bashrc or what?

set the soft limits first. smth like:
<your_name> soft nofile 4096
<your_name> hard nofile 4096
ulimit always uses the soft resource limit first. hard limits kills the application then, if it goes mad.

ps: logout then login again...

I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Is it aim.bin?

Where is the ojsp.conf file located

The tutorial is kind of misleading. The jsp file is ready and the tutorial tell me to do the following steps
Before you can run the application you need to make sure that your HTTP server is configured appropriately. Perform the following steps:
1. Edit the ojsp.conf in notepad. This file is typically found in the <ORACLE_HOME>\Apache\jsp\conf directory. Add the following alias:
BUT I DO NOT FIND ANY ojsp.conf file at all. I searched for it too. How to go forward on this.
Secondly my apache server is up and running when I hit http://hostname:7777
now under which directory should i place the folder containing the jps on the server to run the application
Thanks in advance

Hi Mthompson,
Look at this on how to create the log file.
