Using Lion Server as a web server for Wordpress sites?

Is anyone doing this? I have a few low traffic Wordpress sites I'd like to move to a Lion server I already have at MacMiniColo to try and reduce my costs.
Obviously I'll have to install MySQL and MySQL Workbench for the databases, which I'm fairly comfortable with, however I'm not sure what the best route for FTP access to the WP directories is. I've looked at Rumpus but it's just a little too pricy for my needs.
Does anyone have any advice?

John, I guess you did install MySQL and got Wordpress running? I use the default location for web sites on Lion server. So my site is in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/wordpress/. Since the directory is owned by _www I use root to retrieve and put files under this directory. My own user account would not have sufficient rights. It is not safe to use root with ssh with a password, so you will have to make sure you can only login as root with an ssh key. Therefore edit /etc/sshd_config and make sure that a line with 'PermitRootLogin without-password' is present. sshd or your server should be restarted then.
On you local mac you can use the terminal to generate a key. Use 'ssh-keygen'. Here (and on various other web pages) you can find how to do this:
http://coolestguyplanettech.com/secure-ssh-keys-connection-with-remote-passwords -osx-10-6-linux/
On the server you will have to put the authorized_keys file in /var/root/.ssh/
Now you can use cyberduck and let it authenticate with the key you have generated (id_rsa if you use the web page I pointed to). Then you can go to the wordpress directory and upload or edit files.

  • App server , process scheduler , web server and DB scripts

    Team,
    Good Morning.
    I am looking for the script which will help me in doing health check-up for app server , process scheduler , web server and DB.
    The script should trigger a email when any one of the domain is down and when it get up.
    Waiting heartly

    If you really only want scripts you should write them yourself. If you don't understand the script how can you be expected to support it, modify it, or add new features? You don't even indicate what OS your using? I could give you a copy of a powershell script but what good is that on a linux box?
    You need to identify what you really are interested in monitoring. Is it process health only? actual system integrity? Do you need to know if a process count goes under a certain threshold? Is the processes scheduler really working? Is queuing occurring somewhere? Is the web server at a critical number of open sessions? log monitoring for keywords? Do you need to actually simulate a web session which would prove the full system is working in one execution, although it won't indicate a failure will occur where some other monitoring might?
    This is why the others have recommended pre-built packages that already offer most of this. If you still want scripts, gather your requirements, think about what you really need, try some stuff on your own, and if you have a specific problem with a script or how to accomplish a particular system check, post a new question, and I'll do my best to help. I think you'll get a better response from everyone if you do that.

  • Difference entre G web server et LabVIEW web server

    Salut,
    je voudrais savoir quelle est la difference entre le G Web server et LabVIEW web Server et quelles sont les avantages de chcun d'eux.
    Merci. 

    Bonjour rose2009,
    Labview web server est le serveur web alors que le G server permet d'executer des script CGI. Il faut se rappeller que labview web server ne permet pas de faire des entrées/sorties, les CGI VI permet de recevoir les entrées ou les requetes pour renvoyer les données.
    Cordialement,
    Hi rose2009
    Labview web server is the web server until G server allow to execute CGI script. LabVIEW does not work with standard HTTP input and output, a CGI VI receives the standard input data as a string when it receives request and sends data that it generates as a string.

  • Need server.xml and web.xml for connection pooling

    hi guys,
    I am having lots of problem implementing the Connection Pool. I want to use the Tomcat's Connection pool classes and not my connection pool.
    I have gone through lots of problem trying to configure it.
    I got the range of errors. Has someone worked on this. Does it work with Tomcat 4.1 and Oracle 8i. Can anyone provide any links or previous posts to help me out.
    If someone can paste their working server.xml and web.xml then that would be really grt.
    Any kind of help would be really helpful.
    Amit

    Tomcat does not have a connection pooling mechanism. I've used Apache Commons DBCP with Tomcat although with PostgreSQL. It works great.
    Nothing in my web.xml gets modified. Only server.xml needs to be updated for DBCP. The Tomcat JNDI Datasource documentation is very good and should get you through.

  • Using IIS 5.0 as web server to App Server 8.0 PE

    I am developing a site for a company which has IIS 5.0 as the web server. The sysad there would like to allow only IIS to receive request and hide the App Server internally. I read that one can configure IIS 5.0 to forward request to App Server 7.0. Can you do that in App Server 8.0? How? I have read a post on how to configure Apache to forward request to App Server 8.0 but I don't seem to understand. Sorry, I am very new to the area of App Server and Web server.
    My second question, Are there any advantages of configuring IIS 5.0 to accept request and forward any JSP/Servlet request to AP 8.0? How does the performance of HTTP service of AP 8.0 compared to that of IIS 5.0? Are there any performance or security or other issues associating with this option?

  • Trying to figure out using my macbook as a web server

    So I have Apache and PHP enabled and working with MySQL installed. And I know that I am able to access my IP address and my IP address/~myusername online, but it says I don't have permission to do it. What folder or directory is the internet reading files?? I'm used to having a plain UNIX server running Apache that has a public_html folder that contains all of the files accessible by the internet. What's the equivalent on my macbook? Is there one?

    Files accessed using only your server name (or address) are in Library/WebServer/Documents
    Those accessed from /~myusername are in /users/Sites as mentionned by etresoft.
    But Leopard introduced a "mini" problem. You have to verify that in /etc/apache2/users there is a myusername.conf file. If not, copy it from /etc/httpd/users or create it with TextEdit or BBEdit.
    Hope this helps.

  • Running the G server and labview web server as a stand-alone serve

    Hello,
     Now I am running the G web server from the Internet toolkit cooprating with the Labview default web server because I need the server to handle both GCI reguests and the requests of the remote panel.
     Now I have a question. Is there any way to make these two servers as stand-alone applications and also make it to be window service ( I think if I could make them the stand-alone applications, making them to be window services would be easy)? I just want the web server to be a stand-alone application without installing the Labview (just installing the run-time engine) on one machine. Could this be done? Thank you very much.
    Best Regards,
    Benjamin Chu

    Hello Benjamin,
    for running a LabVIEW application as Windows Service is here a tutorial.
    I formerly tried to get the G web Server into an application and I know there were some dynamic VIs loaded by the HTTP Server Control.vi and some SubVIs. I never tried this seriously enough to get it running.
    You need at least to put the VIs vi.lib\addons\internet\http\http0.llb\HTTP Server, vi.lib\addons\internet\http\http0.llb\srvr_%02d.vi (%02d is part of a format into string with a for loop index), HTTP Load Configuration Files.vi as dynamic VIs into your build definition.
    Running the G Web Server and looking at the VI hierarchy is not for help because for some reasons the G Web Server VIs will not show up in the VI hierarchy window.

  • RH Server on a Web Server

    I am wondering whether we can use WebHelp Pro output on a web
    server. I ask because our company is moving towards using
    SupportWorks as a
    portal to all sorts of product information including, faqs, help
    desk call logs, help files, etc.
    SupportWorks is basically just a directory structure residing
    on a web server so as far as I am concerned we only need WebHelp
    output. However alongside this project is a push to use the
    benefits of WebHelp Pro output. Initially it is likely that the
    help will be installed locally by the company's applications and
    also made available in the SupportWorks product. However in the
    longer term the idea is to have the help files solely hosted in
    SupportWorks on the web server.
    Can anyone see any problem / issue with this approach?

    My output is Webhelp Pro from RHx5 - my server is a virtual
    Web Server (Windows 2003 I think).
    However, I use RoboEngine and no other additional software
    packages (i.e. SupportWorks).
    My company is looking into options to use Sharepoint 7 as a
    portal for not only my RoboHelp product information (4400+ files)
    but other information located in shared drives, etc

  • Sun App Server as a Web Server

    Can the Sun App Server be used as a simple Web Server (like Apache)? If so, how does one set the root directory for HTML files?
    Thanks

    Thanks.
    Just to clarify for any others who are interested, heres the deal:
    1) Package the static HTML files using the 'deploytool' (See Packaging Web Modules in Chapter 3 of The J2EE(TM) 1.4 Tutorial). This creates a .war file with the required deployment descriptors(?); anyway it creates a bunch of .xml files that have the right data in them.
    2) Take the .war file and drop it in the 'quick deploy' icon (copies the .war file to the 'autodeploy' directory for the App Server instance).
    Anyhow thats the drill.
    Good luck.

  • App Server as a web-server

    Hi guys!
    I know it's not a good idea to use oracle as a database for my site. But I want it just for learning oracle. Now I am using apache+ perl + oracle database on my site. Can I change perl and apache for oracle app server? Is it capable of doing it? Thanks.

    Yes it is possible by doing a fresh setup of oracle application server infrastructure i.e installing the metadata repository in your existing database you have. Then install the application server middle tier that configures components like OC4J, apache etc. Now re-register your applications .jar .war .ear files to the middletier.
