I have a web application written using CherryPy, which is run locally on 127.0.0.1:4321. We use mod-rewrite and mod-proxy to have Apache act as a reverse proxy; Apache also handles our SSL encryption and may eventually be used to transfer all of our static content. This all works just fine for small workloads. However, I recently used...
Anyone knows of a good error log beautifier? (should be able to handle apache error logs). Should be open source / free, preferably with a web interface ...
I was wondering if there was a way to get at the raw HTTP request data in PHP running on apache that doesn't involve using any additional extensions. I've seen the HTTP functions in the manual, but I don't have the option of installing an extension in my environment. While I can access the information from $_SERVER, I would like to see ...
I have Apache 2 running on a VPS server (running Debian). I recently changed the timezone on the server (using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata) from America/New_York to America/Los_Angeles to match my move across country. I have also rebooted the virtual machine since making the change. However, the Apache processes seem to flitter between ti...
I am running a Django through mod_python on Apache on a linux box. I have a custom authentication backend, and middleware that requires authentication for all pages, except static content. My problem is that after I log in, I will still randomly get the log in screen now and again. It seems to me that each apache process has it's own py...
I have asked our hosting provider to add mod_python to our httpd server. The server appears to be in an hsphere cluster and they appear to use yum to administer it. He is reporting some dependencies missing and I do't quite understand how that could have come about. versions (this is as much as I have been given): CentOS 5 apache - 2 ...
I need to either find a file in which the version is encoded or a way of polling it across the web so it reveals its version. The server is running at a host who will not provide me command line access, although I can browse the install location via ftp. Update 1: I have tried HEAD and do not get a version number reported. If I try...
We're running a web app on Tomcat 6 and Apache mod_proxy 2.2.3. Seeing a lot of 502 errors like this: Bad Gateway! The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /the/page.do. Reason: Error reading from remote server If you think this is a ser...
I seem to only be able to write to the Apache error log via stderr. Anyone know of a more structured logging architecture that I could use from my python web project, like commons? ...
I have a web site using apache httpd as the server and mysql as the backend. It publishes a "thought for the day" that has gotten so popular that the server is crashing due to the number of requests. Since the same page is been requested (the thought only changes once a day), is it possible to put a caching server in front of my main ser...
If so why? I know setting this on will result in more number of automatically committed revisions. Is it good to have more auto commits? ...
Hi. I'm about to deal with managing and running my first Internet connected Apache webserver and I was wondering if there are any sys admins and developers out there that would like to share some of their knowledge regarding security and optimization tips for running Apache webserver. Maybe you can share your top five (or ten) list of ...
For development, I use a local LAMP stack, for production I'm using MediaTemple's Django Container (which I'm loving BTW). MT's container uses lighthttpd. Honestly I've never had any other experience with it. I've always used Apache. I've been doing some reading: Onlamp TextDrive Linux.com Here's are questions: What strengths doe...
What are the access.log.* files? ...
I've been Googling for quite awhile and haven't found a definitive answer. Is it possible to output a table using Apache POI? It looks like it hasn't been implemented, since the main developer stopped working on it like 5 years ago. Is there an open source alternative to POI that can do this? ...
We run a medium-size site that gets a few hundred thousand pageviews a day. Up until last weekend we ran with a load usually below 0.2 on a virtual machine. The OS is Ubuntu. When deploying the latest version of our application, we also did an apt-get dist-upgrade before deploying. After we had deployed we noticed that the load on the C...
What is the best practice for setting up a LAMP server in terms of linux users and groups? If there are multiple sites hosted on the same server, is it best to have a single user that owns all site source files (and uploads) that is in the same group as apache - or to have a different user for each site (so that each site has its own cr...
What do you recommend for setting up a shared server with php from a security/performance point of view? Apache mod_php (how do you secure that? other than safe_mode as it won't be in PHP6) Apache CGI + suexec Lighttpd and spawn a FastCGI per user LE: I'm not interested in using an already made control panel as i'm trying to write my...
Hello! I'm trying to setup an Apache/PHP/Postgresql server locally on my machine. I tried to install everything manually (one thing at a time) and after I get everything up and running, whenever I try to run a script on my machine, I get a "What do you want to do with the *.php file?" dialog. NOTE: the dialog...
Can anyone explain what this mod_rewrite rule is doing? I'm trying to comment the file, but the code seems to state the opposite of what I think it's doing # Enable rewriting of URLs RewriteEngine on # Allow specified file types to be accessed # Thing to test = URL # Condition = not starting with RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images...
