The job at hand: I want to make sure that my website's users view a page before they start a download. If they have not looked at the page but try to hotlink to the files directly they should go to the webpage before the download is allowed. Any suggestions that are better than my idea to send out a cookie and - before the download sta...
I have a wildcard subdomain enabled and dynamically parse the URL by passing it as-is to my index.php (ex. somecity.domain.com). Now, I wish to create a few subdomains that are static where I can install different application and not co-mingle with my current one (ex. blog.domain.com). My .htaccess currently reads: RewriteEngine On...
so, I'm running Apache on my laptop. If I go to "localhost", I get the page that says, If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page. except, I can't add content and replace that page. I can clic...
I'm running PHP, Apache, and Windows. I do not have a domain setup, so I would like my website's forms-based authentication to use the local user accounts database built in to Windows (I think it's called SAM). I know that if Active Directory is setup, you can use the PHP LDAP module to connect and authenticate in your script, but with...
I was wondering if anybody knew of a method to configure apache to fall back to returning a static HTML page, should it (Apache) be able to determine that PHP has died? This would provide the developer with a elegant solution to displaying an error page and not (worst case scenario) the source code of the PHP page that should have been ...
It's big problem to convert mod_rewrite rules to lighttpd format ...
We have an issue using the PEAR libraries on Windows from PHP. Pear contains many classes, we are making use of a fair few, one of which is the Mail class found in Mail.php. We use PEAR on the path, rather than providing the full explicit path to individual PEAR files: require_once('Mail.php'); Rather than: require_once('/path/to/pe...
I'm managing an instance of Wordpress where the URLs are in the following format: http://www.example.com/example-category/blog-post-permalink/ The blog author did an inconsistent job of adding categories to posts, so while some of them had legitimate categories in their URLS, at least half are "uncategorized". I can easily change Wor...

Mac OS X ships with apache pre-installed, but the files are in non-standard locations. This question is a place to collect information about where configuration files live, and how to tweak the apache installation to do things like serve php pages. ...

I recently came across an issue with Windows 2003 (apparently it also exists in other versions too), where if an SSL/TLS server is requesting client certificate authentication and it has more than 16KB of trusted certificate DNs, Internet Explorer (or any other app that uses schannel.dll) is unable to complete the SSL handshake. (In a nu...
I cannot seem to compile mod_dontdothat on Windows. Has anybody managed to achieve this? Edit: I've tried compiling the file according to the readme on the site and I've tried to add extra libs to reduce the link errors.

As popular as Ruby and Rails are, it seems like this problem would already be solved. JRuby and mod_rails are all fine and dandy, but why isn't there an Apache mod for just straight Ruby? ...
I am serving all content through apache with Content-Encoding: zip but that compresses on the fly. A good amount of my content is static files on the disk. I want to gzip the files beforehand rather than compressing them every time they are requested. This is something that, I believe, mod_gzip did in Apache 1.x automatically, but jus...
E.g. Is it more secure to use mod_php instead of php-cgi? Or is it more secure to use mod_perl instead of traditional cgi-scripts? I'm mainly interested in security concerns but speed might be an issue if there are significant differences. ...
I want to use Apple's or RedHat's built-in Apache but I want to use Perl 5.10 and mod_perl. What's the least intrusive way to accomplish this? I want the advantage of free security patching for the vendor's Apache, dav, php, etc., but I care a lot about which version of Perl I use and what's in my @INC path. I don't mind compiling my ...
I can't seem to find much documentation on x_sendfile or example code for PHP (there is some rails code). Anyone use it before and would mind giving a quick snippet of code and a brief description? ...
