I have a website that plays mp3's in a flash player. If a user clicks 'play' the flash player automatically downloads an mp3 and starts playing it. Is there an easy way to track how many times a particular song clip (or any binary file) is downloaded?...
On one Linux Server running Apache and PHP 5, we got multiple Virtual Hosts with separate logfiles and everything. The only thing we cannot seem to separate between virtual hosts is the php error_log. Overriding this setting in the <Location> of the httpd.conf does not seem to do anything. Did I overlook something? Is there a way to hav...
Is it possible to configure xampp to serve up a file outside of the htdocs directory? For instance, say I have a file: C:\projects\transitCalculator\trunk\TransitCalculator.php and my xampp files are normally served out of: C:\xampp\htdocs\ (because that's how it's configured by default) Is there some way to make Apache recognize an...
First, let's get the security considerations out of the way. I'm using simple authentication under Apache for a one-off, internal use only, non-internet connected lan, php web app. How can get I the HTTP authenticated user name in PHP?...
In an application that heavily relies on .htaccess RewriteRules for its PrettyURLs (CakePHP in my case), how do I correctly set up directives to exclude certain directories from this rewriting? I.e.: /appRoot/.htaccess app/ static/ By default every request to /appRoot/* is being rewritten to be picked up by app/webroot/...
I have control over the HttpServer but not over the ApplicationServer or the Java Applications sitting there but I need to block direct access to certain pages on those applications. Precisely, I don't want users automating access to forms issuing direct GET/POST HTTP requests to the appropriate servlet. So, I decided to block users ba...
I tried to follow a couple of googled up tutorials on setting up mod_python, but failed every time. Do you have a good, step-by step, rock-solid howto? My dev box is OS X, production - Centos....
I'm currently tasked with replacing an Apache + Resin Java web server with a Resin-only configuration. Currently in our apache setup, we use .htaccess and a small user database to provide passwording at a directory level. Does anyone know the equivalent setup when using just Resin as the web server? ...
What is the best way to transparently rewrite a URL over an SSL connection with Apache 2.2? Apache 2 does not natively support multiple name-based virtual hosts for an SSL connection and I have heard that mod_rewrite can help with this. I would like to do something like this: I have set up the server so that the sites can be accessed b...
How do you redirect HTTPS to HTTP?. That is, the opposite of what (seemingly) everyone teaches. I have a server on HTTPS for which I paid an SSL certification for and a mirror for which I haven't and keep around for just for emergencies so it doesn't merit getting a certification for. On my client's desktops I have SOME shortcuts which...
Hi guys, I hope I can explain this clearly enough, but if not let me know and I'll try to clarify. I'm currently developing a site using ColdFusion and have a mod_rewrite rule in place to make it look like the site is using PHP. Any requests for index.php get processed by index.cfm (the rule maps *.php to *.cfm). This works great - so...
Sorry for the basic question - I'm a .NET developer and don't have much experience with LAMP setups... I have a PHP site that will allow uploads to a specific folder. I have been told that this folder needs to be owned by the webserver user for the upload process to work, so I created the folder and then set permissions as such: chown ...
I've used Apache CXF to expose about ten java classes as web services. I've generated clients using CXF, Axis, and .NET. In Axis and CXF a "Service" or "Locator" is generated. From this service you can get a "Port". The "Port" is used to make individual calls to the methods exposed by the web service. In .NET the "Service" directly e...
Can I get some recommendations (preferably with some reasons) for good log analysis software for Apache 2.2 access log files? I have heard of Webalizer and AWStats, but have never really used any of them, and would like to know: What they can do Why they are useful Interesting uses for them Any and all comments and thoughts are welc...
How do I create a self signed SSL certificate for an Apache Server to use while testing a web app? ...
I'm trying to redirect all requests to my domain to another domain using mod_rewrite in an Apache 2.2 VirtualHost declaration. There is one exception to this -- I'd like all requests to the /audio path not to be redirected. I've written a RewriteCond and RewriteRule to do this but it's not quite right and I can't figure out why. The ...
As part of our product release we ship Apache HTTP Server binaries that we have compiled on our (UNIX) development machine. We tell our clients to install the binaries (on their UNIX servers) under the same directory structure that we compiled it under. For some clients this is not appropriate, e.g. where there are restrictions on where...
I'm working with Subversion based on Windows and would like to write an easy utility in .NET for working with the Apache password file. I understand that it uses a function referred to as MD5Crypt, but I can't seem to find a description of the algorithm beyond that at some point it uses MD5 to create a hash. Can someone describe the MD...
Has anyone had any success running two different web servers -- such as Apache and CherryPy -- alongside each other on the same machine? I am experimenting with other web servers right now, and I'd like to see if I can do my experiments while keeping my other sites up and running. You could say that this isn't so much a specific-softwa...
I know that MAC OS X 10.5 comes with Apache installed but I would like to install the latest Apache without touching the OS Defaults incase it causes problems in the future with other udpates. So I have used the details located at:http://diymacserver.com/installing-apache/compiling-apache-on-leopard/ But I'm unsure how to make this the 6...
