I'm implementing an Apache 2.0.x module in C, to interface with an existing product we have. I need to handle FORM data, most likely using POST but I want to handle the GET case as well. Nick Kew's Apache Modules book has a section on handling form data. It provides code examples for POST and GET, which return an apr_hash_t of the key+v...
Right now I'm doing something like this: RewriteRule ^/?logout(/)?$ logout.php RewriteRule ^/?config(/)?$ config.php I would much rather have one rules that would do the same thing for each url, so I don't have to keep adding them every time I add a new file. Also, I like to match things like '/config/new' to 'config_new.php' if that...
I want to take the url: http://www.mydomain.com/signup-12345 And actually give them: http://www.mydomain.com/signup/?aff=12345 I have NO history with mod_rewrite, HELP! ...
We have got loads of options for php + MySQL + Apache combo... Which is the best pack among these ? Lets confine our ideas to WAMP vs XAMPP, is there a better option to go for ? I created an online programming contest web app called CodeFire on XAMPP, later I had to switch to WAMP, where none of the php scripts worked properly... what ...
We are currently using Apache 2.2.3 and Tomcat 5 (Embedded in JBoss 4.2.2) using mod_proxy_jk as the connector. Can someone shed some light on the the correct way to calculate / configure the values below (as well as anything else that may be relevant). Both Apache and Tomcat are running on separate machines and have copious amounts of...
I have created a few small flash widgets that stream .mp3 audio from an Apache/php host. The mp3 file cannot be directly accessed and does not save it self to the browsers cache. To do this I set the mp3 file permission on the host to "owner: read/write" (numeric value 600). This makes it so that only my .php file can read the .mp3. Th...
What are some good ways to do this? Is it even possible to do cleanly? Ideally I'd like to use packet headers to decide which server should handle requests. However, if there is an easier/better way let me know. ...
There's alot of information out there on setting up LAMP stacks on a single box, or perhaps moving MySQL onto it's own box, but growing beyond that doesn't seem to be very well documented. My current web environment is having capacity issues, and so I'm looking for best-practices regarding configuration tuning, determining bottlenecks, ...
I'm currently running mongrel clusters with monit watching over them for 8 Rails applications on one server. I'd like to move 7 of these applications to mod_rails, with one remaining on mongrel. The 7 smaller applications are low-volume, while the one I'd like to remain on mongrel is a high volume, app. As I understand it, this would b...
Is there a way to read a module's configuration ini file? For example I installed php-eaccelerator (http://eaccelerator.net) and it put a eaccelerator.ini file in /etc/php.d My PHP installation wont read this INI file because the "--with-config-file-scan-dir" option wasn't used when compiling PHP Is there a way to manually specify a p...
Folks, we all know that IP blacklisting doesn't work - spammers can come in through a proxy, plus, legitimate users might get affected... That said, blacklisting seems to me to be an efficient mechanism to stop a persistent attacker, given that the actual list of IP's is determined dynamically, based on application's feedback and user be...
I've set up DAV in apache2, which works great. The thing is, all read/write operations are done with the apache user's credentials. Instead I want to use the HTTP authenticated user's credentials. If I authenticate as "john", all read and write operations should use the system user john's credentials (from /etc/passwd). suEXEC seems...
I'm building a fairly large website and my .htaccess is starting to feel a bit bloated, is there a way of replacing my current system of - one rule for each of the possibile number of vars that could be passed, to one catch all expression that can account for varying numbers of inputs ? for example i currently have RewriteRule ^([a-z]+...
We are working on a website for a client that (for once) is expected to get a fair amount of traffic on day one. There are press releases, people are blogging about it, etc. I am a little concerned that we're going to fall flat on our face on day one. What are the main things you would look at to ensure (in advance without real traffic d...
I know websphere does it, so there must be something that lets apache figure out what needs to go to the app server and what it can handle itself. ...
I've been impressed by the screencasts for Rails that demonstrate the built-in web server and database to allow development and testing to occur on the local machine. How can I get an instance of Apache to execute a project directory as its DocumentRoot, and maybe serve up the files on port 8080 (or something similar)? The reason why I'...
I've got a customer trying to access one of my sites, and they keep getting this error > ssl_error_rx_record_too_long They're getting this error on all browsers, all platforms. I can't reproduce the problem at all. My server and myself are located in the USA, the customer is located in India. I googled on the problem, and the main sou...
I am wondering what primers/guides/tutorials/etc. are out there for learning to rewrite URLs using Apache/.htaccess? Where is a good place to start? My primary interest is learning how to point certain directories to others, and how to use portions of a URL as parameters to a script (i.e. "/some/subdirs/like/this" => "script.php?a=some&...
I've seen Best tools for working with DocBook XML documents, but my question is slightly different. Which is the currently recommended formatting toolchain - as opposed to editing tool - for XML DocBook? In Eric Raymond's 'The Art of Unix Programming' from 2003 (an excellent book!), the suggestion is XML-FO (XML Formatting Objects), bu...
