Setting up web server

I have Sun Web Server running on one of my local PC's (192.168.1.136, port 136). I can access the web server from one of my other local PC's by typing 192.168.1.136:136 in my web browser. However, I can not access it by typing my external IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:136.
To do this, I thought all I would need to do is add the following line to the Port Range Forwarding section of the admin GUI.
Start Port: 136
End Port: 136P
Protocol: TCP and UDP both checked
To IP Address: 192.168.1.136
Enabled: checked
Is there anything else I need to do? I checked the firewall settings on my web server PC and they are fine (I am able to reach it via one of my other local PC's after all). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Interesting... I'm wondering if you have the latest firmware on the router. Everything you've done is correct. I'm curious about the fix for this too.
Keep us posted! (",)
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Need help setting up web server with WRT54GS

Hello,
I am trying to set up a web server with my linksys router. For the network settings, I have used 192.168.001.150 as my primary IP (192.168.1.150, all 3 numerical characters have to be filled in), 255.255.255.000 as my primary netmask and 192.168.001.001 (192.168.1.1) as my gateway. I have gone into my router and then enabled port fowarding for port 80 to 192.168.1.150 but I still cannot access my web server. What could be the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to set up this server so I can test scripts and things.

How do I set iPlanet Web Server 4.1 HTTP Response Header to use expires so that the browser will cache content longer

I want to add in all html files returned the "expires" value.
Based in HTTP 1.1, I think it is possible by adding the META tag between the <HEAD> and </HEAD>:
<META> HTTP_EQUIV:"expires" CONTENT="Sun, 21 Jun 2002 15:05:00 GMT" </META>
I include this in my html file (but "expires" doesn�t work :(( ). Which options are necessary to modify in the WS?
How does the internet options of the browser influence?
PD:(This is a question posted last 5/28, but is has no response yet.)

The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

Setting up a web server

Hi,
I have four or five domains registered and now I’m paying for web hosting (not much, but…). For many months now, I’m reconsidering to set up my own web server (I have DSL connection 24/7 so…).
One idea was to go with MS 2003 SERVER on some older PC I have, but since I’m not some expert (more or less dummy) for this things… gone down the toilet .
Then I bought an iMac (the best investment in past few years regarding computers) and on apple.com site I saw OS X SERVER software and more I was reading this more seemed that this is something for me, for my idea to set up a server.
Now I bought on eBay used G4 Mac Mini and I will install a OS X SERVER (please, don’t tell me that I’m trying to put a BMW engine into SMART… I know that and I hope that will somehow work… if not, there is still eBay to sell everything and there is still a toilet for my idea:-( ). However, the pages I own are not some crucial things for state security, but still I need PHP5 and MySQL (as far as I know OSX have this, right?).
My questions are:
To set up web server I need a DNS (like: nameserver.mydomain.com) otherwise nothing, right?
Do I have to register somewhere my own DNS like domains and to pay annually for this (any suggestion where)?
Hosting my other web sites (with other domains) on OSX will not be a problem. I suppose that OSX can do this?
If I have nameserver.mydomain1.com, will be a problem to set up an email server/account for mydomain2.com or I have to set up a DNS also for this second domain (will be on same server)?
I’m sorry, if my questions are stupid (on the other hand, someone said that there are no stupid questions, the answers can be stupid), but I’m really not familiar with this things.
Many thanks in advance and excuse me for my English,
M

Faganel, did you ever find a "Leopard Server as a Web-Server - Setup for Dummies" kind of guide or article?
If so, I'd really like answers and tips, to the same kind of questions you have.
I don't think this is the best forum, to ask for newbie-style advice. The people here are hard-working system-admins, who does web-server setups for a living, and they really don't have time, to answer questions like ours.
I've done dozens of Windows 2000 web-server setups at work, and the funny thing is, I could probably have helped you, had you gone with the Windows 2003 Server
However I'm trying to get some Xserves into our server room at work, and am evaluating Leopard Server here at home, and would like to do the same thing as you - Setup a Leo web-server with dyn-dns or something like that.
But because my knowledge is Windows, and because I've always worked with our own DNS and IP's, I'm having trouble getting my Leopard web-server here at home, to serve to the internet.
I can get it to serve perfectly to my own sub-net, but when I try to access it from the outside, I get nothing. I've setup my DSL-router to point web-traffic to the Leopard web-servers IP, but still get nothing.
However, I've just started, and I'm sure I'll get it to work, but some pointers would be really cool - obviously it can be done, just need to get my head around the fact, that I'm home and dealing with DSL and DSL-routers, and not the Ciscos and SonicWalls I'm used to at work
I must say though, that Leopard Server is an amazing product, and I'm positive well need to start buying Xserves from now on at work. The time saved setting them up and administering them, is HUGE when compared to the Win2000 boxes I have to fight every day at work
I also think Apple could make a very cool home-server, if they wanted too - I have no idea if it would sell, but Leo Server is almost so easy to setup now, that most people could get the hang of it ...
Anyways, if you or someone else has a guide, to getting it to serve webpages behind a DSL-router with a static IP, I'd be more than grateful - I'm sure this would impress my boss enough, that I'd get a handsome budget to explore Leopard Server some more - I't just awesome from a SysAdmins point of view.

Strange HTTP/Web Server Problem - HELP ~~~~~~~

HI all,
I would like to seek help from you - the apple expert!
I received my mac mini server and immediate want to setup a web/http server. I encountered one very strange problem that only the mac mini server itself can access the http server page but not all other machines in the same internal network. I tried to troubleshoot and so simplify the setting as follow
Here is my setting
- The Web Server service is ON
- I closed all the built in web services (wiki, cal, blogs, webmail) for troubleshoot
- I created a "Custom Sites" with 192.168.11.9:8080 <- this is my mac mini ip
- Ensured the /Library/WebServer/Sites/192.168.11.9 got right permission
When i open IE in my window vista laptop, type in address "http://192.168.11.9:8080", it doesn't work. Is there anything i need to config so that other machine (Win OS) in the internal network can also access the http server in my mac mini?
Thank you very much.

...and in your do/while loop think what happens when read() does return -1. You still write the entire buffer. You should do something like this instead:
    while (true) {
        int count = in.read(buf);
        if (count == -1)
            break;
       out.write(buf, 0, count);
    }

Can't open my website outside of my web server

I have installed lion server on my mini. I want to use it to host my website url. www.bigislanprivatechef.com after setting up web server I can type the url into any of my browsers and my site fires right up. I can go to statcounter and see my hits register in my project. When I type my url into my iphone not connected to my network wifi I can't reach my site. I get the message the server timed out. My website was hosted with godaddy, and now I have pointed the A name zone to my IP address. I have set port forwarding in server admin to all available ports for web service. Still nothing. Anyone have this problem and found a solution?

Your DNS is wrong.
Assuming you mean bigislandprivatechef.com (you missed a 'd' in your original post)
dig www.bigislandprivatechef.com returns:
www.bigislandprivatechef.com. 3591 IN
CNAME
bigislandprivatechef.com.
bigislandprivatechef.com. 3600
IN
A
192.168.2.2
Your DNS is returning a private LAN address for your server (192.168.2.2) whereas it should return your public IP address on your router. The router (via port forwarding) takes care of routing the request to your server.

G web server as a W2k service

Hello All
I am having some problems with setting G web server as service on Windows 2000.
Did anybody try it before? Does it work stable and fast etc.
Thanks a lot in advance
Pawel

Oh, I see. Fortunately, you can do this. I'm attaching a zip file with documents which describe how to do this. I found it on NI's website a while back. It gives instructions and an example of how to do what you're asking. Hope this helps!

Multiple LV instances, web server cannot start, port already in use

Hi there,
I have a general question about webserving VIs in case either
a) multiple instances of the LV development environment are running (this is possible in windows XP for instance when "switch users" is allowed and each user launches LV)
b) multiple compiled LV executables are run by the same user
c) any mixture of the two above
I have an application case when either of the three above would be a very good solution, was not for the problem encountered. Say, b): the user is given two deployed executables, and can decide to run either or both concurrently. Moreover, I want these applications to be visible on the web, so they are compiled with the webserver turned on, default settings.
The problem I've seen (LV8.5.1, winXp for sure, but I think I've seen it as well in linux and other versions as well) is that each new instance of the LV engine tries to get hold of the tcp port (default 80), so that all instances beyond the first complain about "The Web Server cannot start. Is the Web Server port already in use?"
While I can understand the origin of the message, and found some posts on the forums somehow related to it, I don't like it too much.
I could think only of two workarounds here: 1) set different web server ports for each LV instance, and instruct the remote users to direct their browsers to a webserverort link to access each VI; 2) run all the applications from the same instance of the LV dev system. The latter is not so convenient for me, due to conflicts in global VIs between all instances of the applications [compiling executables IS a way to privatize memory spaces in this case, AND global variables are imho well justified for the fairly complex application I have in mind here].
Is there a third, more elegant solution perhaps, which I'm missing?
Thanks, Enrico

What is it in particular that you dislike about the message?
How would you like LabVIEW to behave in this case?
No problem with the message, but I'd just be very happy if a single
web server would serve all my instances of the executables on the same
port. I.e., if 2.exe is open and wants to start another server on the
same port used already by 1.exe, then 2.exe becomes served by the
server already opened. Am I demanding too much? Am I missing some
necessary logic?
At the moment, anyway, I'm stuck with the vi being served correctly,
but not the compiled application, and I can't figure out why. It's

Setting Up a Java Web Server on Linux

Greetings,
After a lot of reading, I've decided to learn Java server-side technologies (I already know Java (desktop)
but with little experience) in order to develop my database driven dynamic website projects.
However, I'm completed lost between the hundreds of acronyms related to Java and the "thousands" of technologies involved.
Google hadn't help me understand what they really are and how they relate with each other.
Even though is easy to find what they stand for and some faqs/descriptions, it hasn't been enought to clear my mind.
I want my webserver application to do, among other things, the following:
Retrieve Data from a database, do generate dynamic html files.
Story Data on the database, from html forms.
Send automaticly emails for multiple users. (newsletter for example)
E-Commerce.
Html graber/parser (I don't know if this is the right word, I mean a program that for example, goes to a URL with an html
table, and stores that information in a database table, as long as the format didn't change).
Real Time Chat feature.
Database connection pooling, caching, and other important optimizations.
I'm not asking for how to develop or configure this features nor what components and programs, must be installed.
At the moment, I only want to know how to set up a Java solution that will support them when they are needed.
*** Linux ***
I want to set up my webserver on a linux distribution.
In that respect, I don't know if I should choose RedHat or Fedora Core.
I've heard that fedora is better for a webserver (having in mind that Red Hat Enterprise AS/ES aren't free).
But I've read in several sun turorials/webpages references to RedHat (on a J2EE context).
So I'm wondering if is better to go for Fedora or RedHat. Are there pros & cons? They equally support Java?
*** Technologies ***
Then in starts the acronyms problem.
What do I need to install, in what order, for what?
Some aconyms and technologies, I have read about but don't fully understand are the following:
Apache
J2EE
J2EE 1.4 SDK
SUN Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8
J2SE 1.4.2 SDK
SUN Java Enterprise System
Tomcat
Struts
Cocoon
JBoss
I already know J2EE is only a specification. What implements that specification? Sun Java System Application Server?
J2SE SDK? or Tomcat?
What is the role of each technology, namely Apache, Tomcat, Sun Application Server?
What is the Sun Java Enterprise System?
How do Struts, Cocoon, JBoss relate to Java?
Which of these technologies are mutually exclusive (analogous)?
*** Doubts ***
Then, I have some doubts that are keeping me from starting to study seriously the important techonologies, because I don't
want to lose lot's of time and effort learning them to after a dillusion start everything again with PHP (the language
which make me think and read a lot before going for Java). To keep this from happening, I would like to know the following:
I want to use Java for developing websites with commercial/profitable use for my company, in some throught e-commerce,
and in other by banners. I want to do everything by the book, with required licenses.
------ Java is Free?
Is Java Completely Free or it might be possible that at a certain point, when I need some component or library,
multi-machine webserver, performance or security for high-traffic I will see "buy now" instead of "download now"?
For what they may "ask for money"? and what are the disavantages if I can't buy?
For example, "Java System Application Server Standard Edition 8.1 2005Q1" and
"Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q1" cost $2.000 and $10.000 respectively. That is money.
(http://www.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr/index.xml). What are the disavantages if stick to the free edition?
Features like (from sun site)
Standard Edition:
Extends the capabilities of the Platform Edition to provide secure, remote, multi-instance, multi-machine management.
It is aimed at high-volume applications and Web services.
Enterprise Edition:
Further extends the capabilities of the Standard Edition to provide continuous availablity for applications and
Web services. It is aimed at business critical, high value applications and Web services.
Suppose I achive lots of traffic and I keep the free platform edition.
I won't be able to have a multi-machine webserver set up correctly?
What are the drawbacks? How big are the performance penalties?
------ Technologies Availability
Finnaly, I have the idea (I don't know if it's accurate) that there are Sun versions and Open-Source Free versions
of doing or supporting the same Java related thing.
Despite the way I choose to set up a Java webserver, I will always have all J2EE techonolies like:
Java API for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC), JavaServer Pages, Java Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans components,
J2EE Connector Architecture, J2EE Management Model, J2EE Deployment API, Java Management Extensions (JMX),
J2EE Authorization Contract for Containers, Java API for XML Registries (JAXR), Java Message Service (JMS),
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), Java Transaction API (JTA), CORBA, and JDBC data access API.
I really appreciate some help. I could learn the basics of all this "stuff" before asking. But the point why I'm asking
is precisely not starting to learn something I may won't use. Obviously, I will have to make a lot of reading during maybe
months before writing the first line of code of my projects, but being certain that it will fit my needs.
I will be very thankful if you can enlightme in my fedora/redhat, setup, free/cost and technologies avaibility issues.
Thanks Beforehand,
Pedro Vaz

Apache is a free Web-server.
Tomcat is a servlet (and JSP) container. It can be stand-alone or can be used together with a Web server (like Apache).
J2EE's scope is much wider than the servlet stuff, but a standalone Tomcat is a good starting point to servlets and JSP.
One of our "real-world" applications is run by a standalone Tomcat using POI and Velocity. I did not regret this architectural decision.

How to set up a FTP and web server and integrate with DMM 5.2

Hi All ...
I need to set up a external server only for content publishing to reduce the overhead of the DMM server .
can anyone guide me on how to set up the external server and intergrate it with the DMM 5.2
Thanks

semuthu,
Notes from the Release Notes:
Compatibility Limitations with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
DMPs that use firmware release 5.2 are compatible with only one version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.
That supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise. If you do not have the supported IIS version but
want your DMPs to retrieve assets from a webserver, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.
I would suggest using Apache instead of IIS for the webserver service. IIS can be used as FTP if needed.
There are plenty of Documents on the Web about setting up Apache and FTP for servers.

Setting up a publically-visible home web server w/ DSL residential?

Is there a how-to guide for setting up a small publically-visible home web server, basically for testing purposes?
I have a DSL modem, Westell.
The web server software is running and I can see the site on my home network, but everyone else on the Internet gets a timeout. The server is not reachable.
When I run traceroutes, the Modem's IP address does not show a timeout, but the Computer's IP address does show a timeout. This is with all firewall software disabled.
Can anyone help?

Before I try to help you, I am just wondering.
Since you are using this server for testing, why does it have to be publically-visible?
In the meantime as I wait for that reply to my question, pre-check list for allowing user from the net to connect you:
#1 The Default Gateway on your computer is the same IP Address as the Westell A90-750015-07?
For example, if on Windows XP
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
#2 In the router go to Advanced -> Private LAN
#3 What is the Starting and Ending IP Address?
#4 In the router go to Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play
#5 If you do not have at least two game consoles behind this two router, turn off UPnP in the router.
By game console, a special type of computer with no keyboard or mouse (and it/they are usually connected to a TV).
#6 In the router go to System Monitoring -> Gateway Status
#7 With another web browser Window OR Tab, go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
#8 Below the text that says The text below might uniquely identify you on the Internet is an IP Address.
#9 In the web browser window or tab, that is still looking in the router, you should see that same IP Address.

I don't see any way of configuring a web server in 10.9; this was always present in previous releases. How to I set up a website on OSX 10.9.1?

I upgraded from Snow Leopard, where performance was great on my Mac Mini, to Mountain Lion, where performance is so bad that I'm now attempting a clean-install of Mavericks. But, I don't see any way to set up my local website. I don't see a Sites directory or any control in System Preferences to set up the web site. How is this done in Mavericks?

Yes, the functionality has departed System Preferences. Here is an updated guide to jump start your solution. It deals with the Terminal solution below.
There are two approaches to launching a web server in Mavericks.

How to edit Webi Server's setting of "stopped 5 times in 60 minutes"

It is knows that Webi Server will be considered failed while it has stopped 5 times in 60 minutes.
Could we edit it's setting so that Webi Server could be considered failed while stopped at 6(7,8,...) times at Linux Environment or Windows?

Yes, If you have rights to "CMC"(Central Management Console) then you can edit all servers properties.
Thank You!

Problem in setting up NAS200 as web server

Hi, I have no idea why i unable to make my NAS200 up as my web server
1st. i set up an account and domain name with tzo.
2nd, i port forward nas200 for port 80 and 21 in my router, which the 2 port is the dfault port that i use in my router setting.
3rd, to double check whether the port is open correctly, i go to www.canyouseeme.org to test the port see if the port is open. Both port showed successfully with my own WAN ip.
Then i type in my WAN ip into browser and nothing is pop out. If this is fail, no need to talk about the TZO stuff right since TZO domain is just a shielf to protect my WAN IP.
Any idea? I doubt whether this NAS200 got problem....

Depending on your router, you may not be able to reach a device on your LAN by using the WAN address. It may be possible to change your router settings to fix this. As soon as your router will route requests to port 80 of your public address to your NAS, regardless of whether the request comes from the LAN or the WAN, you should be good to go on the web interface.
The FTP connection is a whole different story though. The FTP protocol is old and a little weird, because after the client opens a connection to the server (for commands), the server has to open a secondary connection to the client for data. This is largely incompatible with the NAT translation that your router does. Most routers are smart enough nowadays to translate the commands when the FTP client is on the LAN and the server is on the WAN but not the other way around (there are some exceptions).
Apart from all this, the FTP protocol is insecure, and any neighbor can listen in on your FTP traffic and catch all your passwords and files.
Instead of FTP, I recommend using my firmware (see link in signature) which will let you use the SCP protocol over SSH; you will need to open port 22 instead of 21 (and 20) and you will be able to connect to the NAS via a secure connection to download as well as upload files (the HTTP interface will only let you download files from the NAS200).
For more information, see the links in my signature.

Frequent NAS200 Answers:
1. DISABLE the "convert failed logins to guest logins" option to fix permission problems.
2. NEVER insert or remove hard disks while the power is on. NAS200 doesn't support hot swapping.
3. ALWAYS use the power button to turn the NAS200 off, don't just unplug it.
4. Don't trust RAID. Make BACKUPS!
5. To ACCESS the disks directly, you will need ext2 and/or XFS file systems. I recommend using SystemRescueCD.
6. Disks will get HOT with standard fan, use "green" disks or consider replacing the fan.
7. FTP server is insecure and doesn't work behind a NAT router. Use my firmware and SCP instead.
8. MY FIRMWARE supports SSH shell prompt and SCP for secure file access, and allows running other software.
