Web sharing IP address change

Hello all,
I've set up the Apache and PHP server, downloaded Wordpress, which worked on my local computer with the IP address of 192.168.1.100. Then, I made the mistake of downloading MAMP, which must have messed up my IP address. I uninstalled MAMP, but the IP address now changed to 192.168.1.101, messing up the Wordpress local install. What should I do? How can I change the IP address back to its original?
Thanks.
Aleks

I don't want to change wsdl address because every time send new wsdl address opposite side.
can you help me?

Hello Kris,
I've filled the BAPIADTEL and BAPIADTELX structures. I'm only passing the the BP number and address guid to BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE in addition to the BAPIADTEL and BAPIADTELX structures.
The BAPIBUS1006_ADDRESS_X structure is empty (btw, it doesn't contain fields for the BP's name -correct me if I'm wrong) as I'm not passing it to BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE - so no X against any field there.
Thank you,
Tina.

Lion Web Sharing not working

So, let's say I thought of making my MBP early 2011 running Lion (Not LION SERVER) to be a HTTP host. I'd like to switch Web Sharing on in System Preference but it won't turn on. I pressed on the check box, and after 1 second, it became unchecked again. It showed on the right hand side that it is "starting" but then it changed back to "Off". How strange it is. I've tried for hundreds of times (really!). I don't wanna change~/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist cuz it actually caused the problem of MBP not booting up. Any other methods will be fine. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't seem to me that it's the file that broke the apache server.
The fact is: I couldn't turn on Web Sharing, so I changed the mentioned file. But it doesn't help. Also my MBP won't boot after this. And after days of googling on another machine, I fixed the booting problem (I'm now using my MBP!). But the Web Sharing still refuses to be turned on. I've checked the file I edited and it is still there edited. I'm afraid changing it back would cause MBP not booting again! What should I do now?

Web sharing -- deciphering my address

Hi all, I've got a question about web sharing..
All the information I'm seeing about web sharing says your address will be http://ipaddress/~username/
I've set up web sharing through my sys prefs and it says my address is
http://jsmith-01.mycompany.net/~username/
I'm wondering where the 'jsmith-01' (just an example) comes from. Is it coming from my computer or from my companies network? How would I change it?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

That should come from the sharing preference pane - and should end in .local

Changing Web sharing

Okay I do not really know where to ask this so I just put it in iWeb. I have turned on web sharing in system preferences, when I go to the ip address and username of my computer, I get whatever is in the Sites folder, I have put a test video in there and picture to confirm it works. I discovered I can access these videos from my iphone when the same address is plugged in. So here's what I want to do. I have an external hard drive always connected to my computer with hundreds of movies in a folder on there. How do I get the "Movies" folder to in turn replace the "Sites" folder or add it to the webpage so when I put in the certain address I can access all of the movies from the webpage. There are a lot so I cannot copy every single movie and have it on the external and the sites folder. Thanks a lot.

Okay I do not really know where to ask this so I just put it in iWeb.
Then you must learn where to ask questions.
Anyway, here it goes :
Open your external HD and navigate to where you see your movies folder. Keep an eye on it.
Open Terminal.app.
Type cd Sites and hit Return.
Type ln -s
(thats a space after the -s) and drag the movies folder on the Teminal window.
You'll see something like this :
ln -s /Volumes/Bijwerkingen/Users/wyodor/Movies
(that's a space after Movies) and "Bijwerkingen" (side-effects) is the name of the HD.
DO NOT HIT RETURN
Type a name for your new folder. Like this : mybeautifulmovies (use your imagination).
You get this :
ln -s /Volumes/Bijwerkingen/Users/wyodor/Movies mybeautifulmovies
Hit Return.
Type ls -l (Return) to see the content of your Sites folder.
You'll see this :
mybeautifulmovies -> /Volumes/Bijwerkingen/Users/wyodor/Movies
You now have a link to you movies folder. In the browers you'll type :
http://ip-nummer/~username/mybeautifulmovies
or
http://localhost/~username/mybeautifulmovies
You may have to set the right permissions of the movies folder on the external HD, otherwise you cannot access the content of the folder.
Recommended reading :
http://localhost/manual
In Terminal.app type :
man ls
man ln
man cd

Changing the script behind "Personal Web Sharing"?

G'day,
I've compiled Apache2 and installed it in /usr/local/bin. I'd like to have "Personal Web Sharing" (off System Preferences->Sharing/Services) point to the newly compiled /usr/local/bin/apachectl instead of the MacOSX's /usr/sbin/apachectl. Any ideas where that script is?
I know I can start up manually from commandline but the complication is that I will have to open up the firewall port manually too which then makes MacOSX think that I've got another firewall running.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
TIA,
Sean

To see the actual file, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ as the folder's location. Control-click on the Sharing preference pane and choose Show Package Contents from the menu which appears. From here, open Contents followed by MacOS. The reference to apachectl is located at approximately the 133200 position inside this file; this file is not a text file, so you may damage it by editing the file. Back up your current copy first; if altering it causes it not to work properly, your only option is to use the symlink method documented above.

Turning on Web Sharing does not work and fails to load apache web server

Sort of answering my own question here but hope it will be useful to other people and save them some time.
After receiving my shiny new imac with os x lion pre-installed, I was a little dismayed and confused when I went to System Preferences -> Internet and Wireless -> Sharing and attempted to check the Web Sharing. Every time I clicked this option I was told Web Sharing was starting but would then repeatedly fail and apache failed to start.
Looking in the Console I find:
org.apache.httpd: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib

Fix by creating a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib to /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
=
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
Going back to System Preferences -> Internet and Wireless -> Sharing clicking Web Sharing a couple of times turns Web Sharing on successfully!
Going to http://localhost/ displays the "It Works!" page.

Hi there,
You seemed to have had a similar problem to what I now have and so wondered if you might be able to help me :-)
I have posted this as a new post as well but if anyone has five mins could they take a look - I would be very grateful. Here you go:
I am new to all this so I have probably made some simple errors and I hope someone can help me. I will retell what I have done as I haven't a clue what part of what I have done has mucked things up.
I am really stuck. Web sharing will not start on my iMac running Lion OS X. It did work fine and then I wanted to activate PHP so my test website contact form would work (and send the data on the form throught to my email address.
Before I did anything I turned on websharing and could view my website from another computer using: http://192.168.1.4/~stewartfergusson/
I think followed the instructions on this link to activate PHP -http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/php_leopard.php
I then did a few things in terminal and will paste below what I did:

Web Sharing Help

Hi All
I have created a website and have uploaded it into /Library/WebServer/Documents/.
I have turned on web sharing and then opened up safari and directed it to my computer name which is
{apple.local} wothout the brackets, instead of it bringing up the web page automatically it brings up the Index of page and lists all the folders and files there.
To make it display the web page i have to type http://apple.local/index.htm
is there a way to make it automatically open the page instead of typing it in with the extension after it?
I have about 5 macs in my place and want to be able to allow all to see the page but not everyone know's about html code and dont know about putting /index.htm after the address ?
Thanks

Solved the problem now, for some reason the files were called default.htm instead of index.htm
Apple must have some filter to only search for index.htm
i changed the main page to index.htm and tried the page name and worked fine
Cheers anyway

Web Sharing, TimeMachine, and CFURL

So I've been using web sharing under 10.5 for months. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my harddrive. After making sure everything was saved under TimeMachine, I swapped in the new hard drive, did a system restore, went to sleep, and woke up to my new computer with 200gb of free space! Flawless.
Except: now WebSharing doesn't work. I try to access Localhost, 127.0.0.1, or my computer's IP addy and Safari looks at me as if I had gone mad: "Safari can’t find the server." it says. Well, why not?
I tried investigating via command line and got this error:
launchctl: CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource(/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache. httpd.plist) failed: -10
Investigating the file, it looks ok. Thinking it might be a permissions issue, I allowed more write access, but then it said "Dubious permissions on file (skipping)." Well ****. So now I am stumped. Do you have any ideas?

Attempting to start apache it throws the error "already running" but stopping and starting or restarting has no effect...
thanks for the help,

If you turn off WebSharing, do you still have any httpd events showing up in the Application Monitor?
It sounds like one of more of the server files are corrupt or misplaced.
Did you ever make any changes to any of the server files?

Web Sharing set up question

First... I thank you in advance for your time and efforts on this issue that I have.
=========
I have 4 macs each hooked up to separate TVs and running Plex for content serving and so far have been able to adequately manage the lot of them. I can remote Admin from my mac and I've done a good job with setting permissions and access as far as file/printer sharing goes.
But I haven't been able to get the web Sharing features working.
It seems easy enough... turn on the web sharing in preferences and point the browser to the correct IP address.
When I do that I am able to reach the web page located in the top webserver/documents folder... or the ones in the users site folder from any of the locally networked machines from the IP addys that can be found in the websharing preference pane.
But from off site... over the net... no one can get access at all... "cannot locate server" ... and "server time out" messages appear.
These are all new Mac Minis and a new Mac Book running Snow Leopard and they seem to network rather well for me locally so I'm thinking my router is blocking????
I have the firewall turned off and it reads that all incoming connections are allowed.
What am I not setting/looking at properly? what need I do to allow someone to get access to my websharing folder and view a web page or download a file? Or to get access to the htdocs folder in MAMP/
I tried installing MAMP and that all seems to be up and running but I have the same issue... local machines can access the files but off site machines can not. grrrr .... (i love macs)

For anyone else who has issues with setting up web sharing.
I found my solusion first by getting an Airport extreme base station and then by following the instructions posted by Thomas and I'll paste part of it here for you but there is a link you'll need to follow for the main instructions.
Thomas says the following:
===============
You can't just access machines on your home network from the outside world. Your typical home internet connection has one single dynamic IP address assigned to it. Depending on your network setup, that IP address might be your wireless router, wired router or cable/DSL modem, and that device takes responsibility for routing traffic to machines on the local network. On the local network, machines will have IP addresses like 10.0.1.1 (if you're using an Apple AirPort base station), which are completely meaningless to the outside world.
I posted some instructions for how to get access to a specific machine on my home network from outside here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9436505&#9436505
Of course, as I mention on that thread, if you have different hardware, this method may not work for you. Also note that you should not expect to host a website this way. Web access for your own use is one thing, but your internet service provider will shut you down if you try to host a public web site over your home network connection.
===========
And one thing that I did learn unfortunately is that NO... you can't route the web sharing feature to more than one machine at a time. Kinda messes things up. At least for my mac mini it did... had to delete my user account and replace it to get back to normal after trying to set up web sharing on two machines.
Also.. the settings changed both in the System prefs as well as for the airport are easy enough to reverse and set back your previous settings should you want to.

System Preferences - Web Sharing...

I've enabled Web Sharing and have been using it without issues, but recently (within the last week) I noticed that in the Web Sharing properties, where is usually displayed the "computer's website" and "personal website" url's as being "http://ip address/" and "http://ip address/~shortname" now says "http://my computer name.home/" and "http://my computer name.home/~shortname".
So I changed my computer name to something different, restarted the computer, and it still says the previous computername.
Apache still works, but it just bothers me that A. something has changed that I don't know about, and B. i want it to say my ip address or something I set it to.
Can anyone tell me how to change this or fix this or figure out what's happened.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thank you.

@Reetnem: I'm not sure what causes that to change. I ended up reinstalling Leopard which fixed this, cause everything went back to the default!
I removed everything relating to Apache, which no doubt broke it and I spent over 5 hours trying to fix it, which I ended up accomplishing, but it just didn't feel right that my system was so screwed up, so I reinstalled.
I still want to know what changes this, so I'll keep researching. If I found out I'll post it here!

Pixelpost and Personal Web Sharing in Tiger

Dear Friends:
I figured out how to install Pixelpost (for a photoblog) in my OS X Tiger system -- by using MAMP. I changed the Document Root in MAMP so that now it looks to the Personal Web Sharing folder in the Mac (the Sites folder in the /usr/ space). The installation of Pixelpost works fine, letting me add images, manage it, etc. However, when I type in the computer address ("personal website") as provided in the Sharing tab under system preferences, it does not bring me at all to the photoblog. For instance:
http://my.computer.address/ (just brings me to the regular Apache Server notice that it is running)
if I type this:
http://my.computer.address/~username/
It brings me to the generic OS X page in place. But when I type:
http://my.computer.address/~username/pixelpost/
it opens to the pixelpost directory which I placed in the Sites folder. What I'd like to do is figure out what address will call up this blog so that others can access it.
The blog comes up fine under this URL:
http://localhost:8888/pixelpost/
But that's not a proper address for external viewing. So, what address should I provide others? I've tried various configurations with the address provided in the Sharing tab of System Preferences, but no luck so far.
Thanks!

I changed the Document Root in MAMP so that now it looks to the Personal Web Sharing folder in the Mac (the Sites folder in the /usr/ space
I think you mean /Users/ space. /usr is something completely different.
http://my.computer.address/ (just brings me to the regular Apache Server notice that it is running)
Then it means you didn't change the DocumentRoot like you think you did. If you did, and assuming you restarted Apache after changing the DocumentRoot, then this URL would point to whatever directory you specified (/Users/whoever/Sites) and not /Library/WebServer/Documents.
But [http://localhost:8888/pixelpost> is not a proper address for external viewing.
but it can be. If all you're using this for is PixelPost then just setup the port forwarding on your router to forward to port 8888 rather than port 80 and you're done.
Now, that said, the fact that you're using two different ports here (port 80 and port 8888) means that, at the very least, you are running two virtual hosts, or quite possibly two completely separate Apache instances.
That could explain why changing the DocumentRoot doesn't help. You may have changed either the PixelPost VirtualHost configuration, or the MAMP-specific server configuration, but that's not the server/virtualhost you're talking to on port 80.
I've never used MAMP, so I don't know how it installs, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that it installs a whole new Apache distribution and you'd need to find that server and its configuration files to fix the DocumentRoot problem, if that's the way you want to go.
You can also fix it via a simple Alias in the standard Apache configuration - just alias /pixelpost to /Users/whoever/sites/pixelpost - that way users who hit /pixelpost on your server will get the User-specific directory, while all other URLs continue to be served via /Library/WebServer/Documents. This might improve security and avoid the possibility of leaking other content from your home directory that you don't want to make available.

Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
Thanks in advance.

Well here is an update.
I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
Bye.

Anyone know how I can stop/block this?
It originally bombed my web sharing so i reinstalled mac os x and changed my ip address and i'm still getting hit by it...

Definitely agree with Glynn's great advice... get Little Snitch ASAP...
http://www.sslpayments.com/ seems pretty shady and seems to end up in Russia at the end of the day.
