Web Sharing with Chat

Has anyone set up a chat environment using web sharing - I have downloaded a version of MYSQL and a PHP chat tool, but hesitate to begin a configuration before asking if anyone's accomplished this. We need a chat tool for a short, (3 day) two sided meeting. We'd like to comment to one another using discrete messages sent back and forth rather than whispering and passing notes. Any help is greatly appreciated. We are using an Airport Express for our lan, not connected to W3.

I have GoDaddy hosted domain name which I have setup to forward all web traffic to my ISP provided web page (eg http://my.webpage.ISP.com/account-name).
There is nothing magical about that URL. So I do not see any reason why you can not use your DynDNS.org name.

Web Sharing with custom domain name

Hi,
I am wondering if I can use a custom domain name with the built in web sharing. Instead of it going to http://10.0.0.2/ it will be http://www.mydomain.com/. Thanks in advance.

Web sharing with Apache: Forbidden

My Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Upgrade broke local web sharing of my ~/Sites/ directories.
I googled around and followed the advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25038 , which matches my problem closely. However, that solution does not repair the problem.
My Sites directory and permissions:
v21837:~ drf$ ls -la ~/Sites
total 7160
drwxr-xr-x   19 drf staff      646 Aug 7 14:06 .

Safari on a non-existent file:

I solved my problem. I had cut and pasted the information into the /etc/apache2/users/UserName.conf file from a web page and used non-matching up/down quote marks like this:
<Directory “/Users/username/Sites/”>
rather than matching ones like:
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">
Apache seemed to parse it OK with 'apachectl -t', but with the up/down quotation marks, it did not enable my directory, apparently taking the quotes as literal parts of the directory name.

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.
Felipe

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.

Start web sharing with terminal

Hi All
in os 10.6 I can start web sharing simply using this command in the terminal:
sudo apachectl start
this is the same that enabling web sharing in the system preferences.
Now in os 10.7 it don't works.
Using
sudo /usr/sbin/httpd -k start -D WEBSHARING_ON
it seems works but system preferences still show web sharing disabled and after restarting computer, web sharing is disabled
someone can help me?

Perhaps you're thinking of the SnowLeopard behavior. In Lion, starting Web Sharing is not exactly the same as starting httpd. Please inspect the contents of org.apache.httpd.plist, before and after starting Web Sharing in System Prefs, and it will help you understand. Before, you'll see something like:
<key>ProgramArguments</key><array>
     <string>/usr/sbin/httpd</string>
     <string>-D</string>
     <string>FOREGROUND</string>
</array>
After starting it, you'll see the WEBSHARING_ON flag added:
<key>ProgramArguments</key><array>
     <string>/usr/sbin/httpd</string>
     <string>-D</string>
     <string>FOREGROUND</string>
     <string>-D</string>
     <string>WEBSHARING_ON</string>
</array>
And, have you noticed that even if you load the launchd.plist with -w, the Disabled flag in the launchd.plist is always set to True? That's because the actual state of the launchd job is reflected in this file:
/var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd/overrides.plist
Finally, apachectl start/stop simply loads and unloads the launchd.plist.

Web Sharing and Apache losing connection?

ok so i just did a fresh install of 10.4 on my server (PowerMac G4 - 350 Mhz) i have set up my web sharing with a few tweaks like turned mod_ssl and installed MySQL. Other than that it's a pretty basic config.
My problem is that i when i start or restart apache everything works and stays that way for hours as I am updating and testing. I go home at night and come back in the morning and i can not access any of my sites nor the local ip of the server (192.168.0.100) or 127.0.0.1
so i restart apache and its back up...
i do have a static IP so I know its not my IP Changing
any ideas on keeping apache alive?

What do the logs have to say about it?
There's nothing anyone here can tell you about why it's stopping - there are just too many posibilities. The server logs, though, might provide some clues.
Check specifically /var/log/httpd/error_log and /var/log/system.log

Web Sharing broke

I've been using Web Sharing with php enabled to work on my webpage. Lately my macbook lost power and when I booted it back up the server seems to have stopped working. I've tried restarting, turning off web sharing and turning it back on. typing "sudo apachectl restart" in the terminal. It looks like everything is ok until I actually go to view the page. Chrome says that it could not connect to the IP. I can't access any of the files in my "Sites" folder.
Is there any way to reset the apache server? or even find some kind of info on what the error is?

Figured it out. silly mistake. My local IP had changed when I restarted.

Newbye question on web sharing

Hello,
I have an Airport Extreme station, linked to the internet with a fix IP address, and a local Wifi network in my house. Adresses in the local network are 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.2 etc. All machines inside my house are macs.
On mac 10.0.1.2 I have put web sharing with Apache server running it.
Inside the local network, I can accesss it with http://10.0.1.2/~twohorned/, it works well.
But how to access it outside my local network ? I tried http://my-fix-ip/10.0.1.2/~twohorned/ but that does not work.
Thanks !

Hi
You need to use port forwarding on the Airport (if that's your network router) to point any web visitors from the outside world to your 10.0.1.2 machine. Configure your Airport using the Airport Utility, go into Manual Setup, and set up forwarding as follows:
your public IP / port 80 --> 10.0.1.2 / port 80
and save/update the settings on the Airport.
Outside visitors can now access your site at:
http://your-public-IP/~twohorned
(Note that you may not be able to access that address yourself from inside your network.)

Help needed with Personal Web Sharing

I need a little help. My goal is to set up my Apache server to allow people on the Internet access web pages served from my Mac. But I can't seem to get it working.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. I have enabled Personal Web Sharing in System Preferences
2. I have talked with the technicians at my ISP, and they tell me that they are not blocking port 80
3. My router has DHCP enabled, but I have assigned my Mac a static IP address (192.168.1.xx) that is outside the range of DHCP addresses.
4. I am using a cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G router, and I have configured the WRT54G to forward port 80 to my Mac's IP address (192.168.1.xx).
5. I have determined my Internet IP address by using http://checkip.dyndns.org/
The result:
1. When I use Safari to access 192.168.1.xx from my Mac, I see my web pages perfectly. Life is good.
2. However, when I try to access my web pages from a browser on a WindowsXP computer on my local network, I just time out. I have tried both my LAN IP address (192.168.1.xx) and the Internet IP address I obtained from http://checkip.dyndns.org/
I have looked on the Apple support and discussion pages, but I haven't been able to find anything that will fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Charlie:
Thanks for the tip about the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service. Answers to your questions are in CAPS. And, thanks for any help you can provide.
===================
1. Can the Mac ping the Windows computer and vice versa? YES Are you sure the Mac is able to reach the Internet outside your LAN, can you browse the web from it? YES, I HAVE A WORKING, HIGH-SPEED CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET FROM MY MAC.
2. What happens if you use the WAN IP address in Safari on the Mac and try to load the web page? Does it still time out? YES. WHEN I PUT THE ADDRESS I RECEIVED FROM http://checkip.dyndns.org/ INTO THE URL FIELD IN SAFARI, IT TIMES OUT. WHEN I DO THE SAME THING USING USING THE LOCAL LAN IP ADDRESS OF MY MAC, IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
And a comment:
Even once you get the Windows computer to see the web site on the Mac via your LAN, it's possible you won't be able to use the WAN IP address to reach it. That's called "loopback", and some routers don't allow that. If that's the case, you can test your connection by using some other site to reach your site.
What I like to do in cases like this is to use the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service. Since it's completely outside your LAN, it acts like any regular browser to your site. If it can't reach your site, then no one can. But if it reaches your site and you still can't, then your router probably doesn't support loopback. Plus, it'll point out any mistakes in your HTML markup if you have any...

Logitech c615 with iMac & web-based video chat

How do I get a Logitech c615 to work with web-based video chat sites? Works with Skype, Face Time, etc. Can select it in Chrome browser but still uses builtin cam. Would use the builtin cam but your adjustments are tilting/twisting the monitor and moving closer/farther from the monitor. Really?! Is it possible to set an external camera as default for web-based video or is it yet another regret I have from switching from PC?

on a related topic - I have the same camera but I can't hear people when I facetime - it's ok with Skype though
can you help?

Accessing separate drive with Personal Web Sharing

Is it possible to simply use Personal Web Sharing to access an external Firewire hard drive?
I have zero experience with Apache or most server operations. I can set up pretty basic sites with Dreamweaver and/or simple HTML. So if it is possible but difficult, I may need step by step instructions.
I would really like to access this drive because it is easier to keep the large video files on it, but I would like to transfer them to my PS3 on a semi-regular basis. My PS3 has no problem accessing my sites folder (other than not showing the directory so I have to code an index file for it).
Any way I can redirect my PS3 to my external drive using the Web sharing feature? Or is it exclusive to my users drive?
Sorry to ask a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
Help is greatly appreciated to either of my problems. Accessing an external drive or figuring out why I get 403 Forbidden messages unless I code an index file.

Is this drive connected to your computer? Are you trying to access the computer remotely? If so then you need to turn on file sharing and remote access.

Personal Web Sharing trouble with moved / Users ?

Can Personal Web Sharing work when /Users has been moved to another partition? Situation: Apache is running on my Mac OS 10.4.10 system. It will serve my files to a distant computer if I put symlinks to them in /Library/WebServer/Documents (and Personal Web Sharing is on). However, it won't serve the same files from http://my.machine.com/~username -- Console reveals code 301 on attempts these attempts. (Interestingly, nothing appears in Console access_log if Personal Web Sharing is off during an attempt at http://my.machine.com/~username.) All of these makes me guess that Apache is basically OK, that System Preferences Personal Web Sharing knows where to find my personal Sites, but there is some problem when Apache goes for my user directory. Any suggestions?

Hi--
You need to figure out the full path to your directory on the other partition and add that the file for that user that's in /etc/httpd/users. So, open the Terminal application from your Utilities folder, type "cd", then a space, and drag the "Sites" folder from your home folder to the Terminal window. That'll give you the full path to that file.
Edit your user's config file (you'll need to use sudo) with a text editor like nano:
<pre class="command">sudo nano /etc/httpd/users/username.conf</pre>
Look for this line:
<pre class="command"><Directory "/Users/username/Sites/"></pre>
Change it to reflect the path you saw in the Terminal window. If the partition name has a space in it, be careful, Terminal will escape it:
<pre class="command">/Volumes/Volume\ Name/username/Sites</pre>
But since it's enclosed in quotes in the Apache config file, you'll want to dump the escape:
<pre class="command"><Directory "/Volumes/Volume Name/username/Sites/"></pre>
Don't forget to restart the web server.

Problem with web sharing in Lion

Until recently web sharing in Lion used 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1/~user/ for websites. Now it uses 192.168.1.105 and 192.168.105/~user/, where 192.168.1.105 is the IP of my MacBook Air assigned by my router. Since i only want my websites for development purposes and not for online access i want to use 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1/~user/ again.
How can i do that?

The pdf files in the Developer directory say to type:
sudo <Xcode directory>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
in a Terminal window.
I tried that, and got back the message:
-bash: Xcode: No such file or directory
and the directory is still there.

Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
-backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the Administrator account.
Whats the problem?
Please Advice.

Hi husseinsa,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
Please delete the IE cache: IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
Sherazad

With SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).
