Use ipconfig.

Check that you are using the right current IP address of the computer.

If that doesn't work, try the current IP address of the router.

Check that you can access the web pages on the same computer using localhost.

Check that you can access the web pages from any other LAN computer using:
- first the computer's IP address.
- second, the router's IP address.

Where do the checks start to indicate a problem and where do they work?

how to handle static-looking address with php?

Sat, 08 May 2010 22:25:35 -0700

Hi,

Is there a way of having a static-looking request like robots.txt, page.html, index.html, styles.css... handled using PHP?

The applications would include higher security by hiding the type of programming languages used by the web server. In the case of robots.txt, it can be very useful because robots.txt is a special address that can't be specified to be at any other address(ie. robots_txt.php).

I found something called something related called mod_rewrite. Have you heard about it? If you have, do you know if that can do what I was asking?

Apache2.0.63 over LAN

Hi,

I have just installed Apache 2.0.63 on a WindowsXP machine.
The XP machine on a company LAN XXXXXX.local

I had Apache 2.2.11 installed on same machine previously with 2.0.63 and was able to access the server's webpages from another computer as follows http://10.10.10.2/

What is different with Apache2.0.63 to 2.2.11 that I cannot access 2.0.63's webpages from another PC?

Any ideas?

Re: PHP to Download File from Web Server ?

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:51:46 -0700

Very elegant - wish i was working on a Linux workstation - am stuck with a windows one instead but your solution is exactly what i need for my situation - how does your solution translate in to Bill Gates World???

Forget the scheduling - i am battling to get the code to download a file - all my attempts seem to get a file from the server and put it on the same server.... :(

application pool on Apache

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:21:33 -0700

Hello!

I've got web application to be installed on the server. The server contains MySQL & Apache. Unfortunately web application was created for MSSQL 2005 and IIS 6.0 or 7.0. (By the way. I've got Windows XP Prof on server but I'd like to ask because of my curiosity - is it possible to run MSSQL applications on Linux servers?). I tried to run MSSQL on MySQL - without success (Console Terminal, MS Query Browser, DBConvert). I decided to install MSSQL Server 2008 in order to run .sql script files which are responsible for creating new database.

But my question is somehow different. The other thing required for installation is to "create application pool". I found http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786585(WS.10).aspx but it is about configuring it for IIS. My question is - how to do it for Apache?

And about MSSQL. I just installed it. I run:
C:\Documents and Settings\useruser>osql -Usa -Ppassword -i "F:\Data\MyApplication\Scripts\CreateDb.sql"
[SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
[SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Login timeout expired
[SQL Server Native Client 10.0]A network-related or instance-specific error has occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found of not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.

Greetings!

Trouble getting URL to mask IP address.

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:14:52 -0700

I am running Apache 2.0.59 on my mac (10.5.7). I have a domain name (www.example.com) registered with godaddy that remains on their nameservers and forwards (w/o masking) to my home ip. The connection works and I can view my site so there are no problems with routing, port-listening, or directory hierarchies.

The problem is that once i'm at my site, the address bar of my browser lists my server's ip followed by any additional directories (123.45.6.78/home.php). I would like for the url to show instead (www.example.com/home.php ).

From what I've read so far I think I need to change something in the httpd.conf file, but I'm not sure what that is. I've tried changing the NameServer directive to "NameServer www.example.com" and I've tried using virtualhosts <v...>NameServer ... </v...> to no avail.

Am I missing something totally obvious? It seems like this should be a lot easier.

Re: Apache on ubuntu,python and PHP on Apache

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:47:54 -0700

Run this command in your terminal. Enter your login password to authorize installation.

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc mysql-client mysql-server libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-python-doc

Then you can check the documentation in /usr/share/docs/apache2 and /usr/share/docs/apache2/libapache2-mod-python/

You can try to follow this tutorial to configure a bit more your system, but it's using PHP, not python.

Re: Newbi, trying to learn PHP but can't get past Apache

Mon, 11 May 2009 10:30:56 -0700

Find out your PHP directory (where you have php.exe), it should be something like "C:\Program Files\PHP".
Now go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and append that directory to the user variable PATH. Don't forget to add the semicolon.

Newbi, trying to learn PHP but can't get past Apache

Mon, 11 May 2009 09:24:33 -0700

I'M trying to learn PHP but I can't seem to get past the setting up of MySQL and Apache. I am using the book "PHP, MySQL and Apache All in ONE". This is ridicules, once I edited the file httpd.conf in my text editor, the books now tells me to add my PHP directory to my Windows PATH. But it doesn't bother to tell me what that means or how to do that. Keep in mind I am familiar with file paths and directories. Please help someone, anyone.

Alternative to Apache

Sun, 10 May 2009 08:30:47 -0700

I'M having a hard time installing Apache on windows. I downloaded the file and unzipped it, but now it just seems to be a folder, I don't know how to start or install the program. Can someone give me a hand or tell me about an alternative to using Apache. Note that I'M only trying to learn PHP, I'M not actually trying to write an application for a server. Thanks.

Apache serves a blank page...

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I have Apache 2.2 running on my laptop as test server for a website.

It works fine when I access the site from my laptop -- php, mySQL -- everything works. But, if I try to access it from another computer on the network, I get a blank page when I use the "localhost" server name in the URL.

However, if I enter the IP address of my laptop in place of "localhost" in the url, I can access the site (most of it -- a wordpress blog gets a blank page, but that might be another issue).

i.e.: http://localhost.dancepanoramadetroit.com works on my laptop where Apache is running, but takes me to blank page on other computers on the network.

http://xxx.xxx.x.x.dancepanoramadetroit.com works on other computers on the network (replace x's with ip address)

Also, if I try to change the servername from "localhost" to anything else, I get a "page not found" error on all computers (is localhost a "magic" name somehow?)

My network is using a wireless router, with standard security stuff (WEP, mac addresses).

I've checked my error logs, and no errors or warnings appear.

I've set up a virtual host file, which I've attached below, along with my main configuration file.

I've tried numerous vhost and configuration permutations over the last day, and still no luck. I've also checked out lots of other posts, but can't seem to find the answer.

The point of all this is so that I can develop code on one machine, while others test the site on another machine.

Any insights are appreciated!

Regards,

Jim

</VirtualHost>

: Hi all, I have a problem that I can't seem to find info on anywhere!
:
: CURRENT SETUP:
: I'm running Apache 1.3 on Server_1 which directs all requests with
: JkMount to Server_2 which runs a home grown CMS application
:
: ('cmsapp') and a related application ('app1') on tomcat 5.
:
: The CMS application services 20+ domains, and the Apache server uses
: VirtualHosts for each of them. e.g:
:
:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
: 	ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
: 	DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/vhosts
: 	ServerName domain1.com
: 	ServerAlias www.domain1.com
: 	
: 	ErrorLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-error_log
: 	CustomLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-access_log combined
: 	
:         JkMount /cmsapp/* worker1
: 	JkMount /app1/* worker1
: 
: 	<Directory "/usr/local/www/data/vhosts">
: 		RewriteEngine On
: 		RewriteBase /	
: 		RewriteRule ^$ /cmsapp/homepage.html [L]
: 		RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,30})$ /cmsapp/$1.do.html [R]
: 	</Directory>
: </VirtualHost>

:
: The RewriteRules (as I understand them) allow us to direct to a
: different default starting page for each domain name, as
:
: specified in the VirtualHost settings.
:
: This all works fine and there have been no real problems with this
: setup for over 2 years.
:
: PROBLEM:
:
: An increase in the number of domains being managed by the CMS and
: the rise in traffic means our little tomcat server can't handle
:
: it fast enough! I really want to upgrade to Apache 2.2 and get rid
: of the JkMount setup and implement a reverse proxy so I can
:
: set up a cache for the Tomcat applications. This, I think, will
: alleviate the problems.
:
: But try as I might I can't get the setup to work! Maybe my
: VirtualHost settings are wrong for Apache2.2, maybe I don't know
:
: enough about Regex, but I think the problem is my lack of experience
: with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy.
:
: Below are the best settings I have found so far for the domain shown
: above. This resolves requests for specific pages and
:
: displays them properly, but the rewrite rules (which work for Apache
: 1.3) don't get executed. So instead of rewriting the request
:
: for 'http://www.domain1.com' to the default homepage for that
: domain, it just goes to the Tomcat default homepage,

Can't figure out Apache VirtualHosts + Tomcat + ReverseProxy + Rewrite

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:28:11 -0700

Hi all, I have a problem that I can't seem to find info on anywhere!

CURRENT SETUP:
I'm running Apache 1.3 on Server_1 which directs all requests with JkMount to Server_2 which runs a home grown CMS application

('cmsapp') and a related application ('app1') on tomcat 5.

The CMS application services 20+ domains, and the Apache server uses VirtualHosts for each of them. e.g:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
	DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/vhosts
	ServerName domain1.com
	ServerAlias www.domain1.com
	
	ErrorLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-error_log
	CustomLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-access_log combined
	
        JkMount /cmsapp/* worker1
	JkMount /app1/* worker1

	<Directory "/usr/local/www/data/vhosts">
		RewriteEngine On
		RewriteBase /	
		RewriteRule ^$ /cmsapp/homepage.html [L]
		RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,30})$ /cmsapp/$1.do.html [R]
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The RewriteRules (as I understand them) allow us to direct to a different default starting page for each domain name, as

specified in the VirtualHost settings.

This all works fine and there have been no real problems with this setup for over 2 years.

PROBLEM:

An increase in the number of domains being managed by the CMS and the rise in traffic means our little tomcat server can't handle

it fast enough! I really want to upgrade to Apache 2.2 and get rid of the JkMount setup and implement a reverse proxy so I can

set up a cache for the Tomcat applications. This, I think, will alleviate the problems.

But try as I might I can't get the setup to work! Maybe my VirtualHost settings are wrong for Apache2.2, maybe I don't know

enough about Regex, but I think the problem is my lack of experience with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy.

Below are the best settings I have found so far for the domain shown above. This resolves requests for specific pages and

displays them properly, but the rewrite rules (which work for Apache 1.3) don't get executed. So instead of rewriting the request

for 'http://www.domain1.com' to the default homepage for that domain, it just goes to the Tomcat default homepage,

"$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp":

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
	DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/vhosts
	ServerName domain1.com
	ServerAlias www.domain1.com

        ErrorLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-error_log
	CustomLog /usr/var/log/vhosts/www.domain1.com-access_log combined

        ProxyRequests Off

        ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.111:8180/          #Tomcat Server
        ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.111:8180/   

        <Directory "/usr/local/www/data/vhosts">
                RewriteEngine On
                RewriteBase /
                RewriteRule ^$ /cmsapp/homepage.html [L]
		RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,30})$ /cmsapp/$1.do.html[R]
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I think the issue is something to do with the module order, but I can't figure out a solution. I read somewhere that one can

leave out the 'ProxyPass' directive and just use 'RewriteRule' to send requests through a compiled-in mod_proxy. I tried setting

that up but then I couldn't access any pages at all, with every request returning an HTTP 403 error message.

Does anyone know how I can get the old RewriteRule directives to work and fix this problem?

Re: apache alias

One very blunt way is to set up a virtual host (see <virtualhost>) for each folder. Then change part of your main host into a proxy host for your virtual hosts.
This allows each of your subfolders to become the root folder for one of the virtual hosts, and still only 1 port is necessary.
If you don't mind opening more than 1 http port, then you could also leave the proxy host away, and have each virtual host respond to one of the opened ports.

Alternatively your could write a cgi/php script, which alters the links in the files, which are stored in the subfolders, to include the subfolder names in the relative links.

apache alias

Thu, 22 May 2008 10:05:20 -0700

Glad I found this message board. Have been going round in circles attempting to do the following.

I have 137 php files that work perfectly if they are in the root directory.
I am using a software package that allows me to convert .txt files to html, and incorporate into it all the php files necessary to have the data appear formatted in a web page display (containing all the links of our normal web page display). I then can change the extension from .html to .php and it works perfectly.

This is good I can do this but what I'd like to do is have these files run from four different subfolders under a main folder, with each folder containing a set of files

The main folder is called feeds and under it are four subfolders (where I want to store the php files for easy maintenance, etc. So folder1 would have files that belong to a certain critera, folder2 through folder4 would contain files fitting those criteria.

A user fires up a browser, navigates to a page of "New Items Now Available"
where he can choose between one of the four lists. He is taken to the specific page and can then click a link to lets say "New Items in Practical Nursing".

As mentioned, if I put all the php files in root it works, but when I move them to folder "feeds" and the subdirectories below it containing the files, I no longer get a webpage display.

I have tried all different kinds of syntax setting up an alias in apache but each time I do so nothing works at all. Web pages are not found for anything. So I take it out and everything is back to normal except I can't get my php files in feeds/subfolders to display as a formatted web page with a sidebar, the links to other pages, etc.

Any help would be Greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you have a linux workstation, place a script in /etc/cron.daily/ or configure your /etc/crontab to point to your downloading script.

in PHP:

#!/usr/bin/php
$data = file_get_contents("http://address.to.data/myData.file");
file_put_contents("/tmp/myData.file", $data);
system("php my_data_processing_script.php /tmp/myData.file");

in shell script:

#!/bin/sh
wget http://address.to.data/myData.file -O /tmp/myData.file
php my_data_processing_script.php /tmp/myData.file

ending rewriting with mod_rewrite

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:13:31 -0700

Hi,

I have a problem with mod_rewrite.

I have two (or more) rules, where URL after rewriting with the first one matches the next rule.

RewriteRule ^data/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+)$ 	modules/$1/data/$2 [L,E=D:1]
RewriteRule ^layout/([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\,\-\/]+)$				layout/$1 [L,E=D:1,QSA]
RewriteCond %{ENV:D} ^1$
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]+)$						app.php?_=$1 [L,E=D:1,QSA]
RewriteCond %{ENV:D} ^1$
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\,\-\/]+)$		app.php?_=$1&path=$2 [L,E=D:1,QSA]
RewriteCond %{ENV:D} ^1$
RewriteRule ^$												app.php [L,E=D:1,QSA]

I had to add RewriteConds so the first rewritten rule (to module/...) doesn't get caught in later rules.
Is there a better way to do that ?

Oh, I'm not expert on regular expressions, so they arn't as pretty as they could be :)

If you want the custom log to be applied to the entire server then you need to place the LogFormat in your httpd.conf outside of any virtual host definitions.
If you want the custom log to be applied to only one virtual host then you need to place the LogFormat in your httpd.conf inside of the virtual host definition, for which you need that format.
If you want the custom log to be applied to more than one virtual hosts, then you need to place the LogFormat in your httpd.conf inside each of the of the virtual host definition, for which you need that format.
The httpd.conf file is a plain text file in the conf folder, which is located in the installation folder of your apache server.
