Apache :: Video File Download - Getting Different Figures When Interpret Data

Apache :: Allowing EXE File Download

Oct 3, 2013

We're running a departmental intranet site on Apache 2.2 (on Windows Server 2003, if that matters). I'm trying to figure out how to post exe files on the web site so I can create a link and users can download the programs.trying various changes to my httpd.conf file, but no matter what I tried I get a 403 Forbidden error and the error.log file shows an error "Options ExecCGI is off in this directory:...".

1) I've tried putting the EXE in various folders.
2) I don't have a .htaccess file and I don't see anything in the httpd.conf file that seems to specifically relate to access for this file type.
3) If I put a zip file in the same folders, I am able to download or open it.
4) The httpd.conf file should be whatever was created when we installed Apache.

Apache :: HTTP File - Low Download Speed

Mar 29, 2013

The problem is that HTTP file download speed is nearly 10 times lower than FTP download speed. What could be limiting it? It's about 7Mb for FTP and 70-100Kb for HTTP. Strangely, download speed is OK when browsing from the server itself (e.g. via RDP)

Cant Download File

Sep 14, 2007

I have just performed a ftp backup of my entire server. I then zipped it up in Cpanel.

The file size its self it 3322megs big (about 3.3gb). If i press it to download it says:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /backup/sepmid07/sepmid07.zip on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.37 Server at backup.xxx*********** Port 80

I have made sure that i have the right permissions, I have also made sure that it belongs to the correct user. Also next to it where it would say how big it is, it says "-"

Server For A Video/file Sharing Website

Mar 10, 2008

I have no intention of trying to make some video/file sharing website.

Some people might recognize me as being somewhat cynical in my replies to the people who post these sorts of messages.

What I'm curious about is, after having occasionally told people "You'll make significantly more money throwing the money you intend to waste on this project into a traditional investment..." I still see new people every week asking for the same help.

Now, I understand very few people are going to give up their dream and just throw in the towel because some random guy says their dream is stupid, they are stupid, and may god have mercy on their soul...

But, I don't (always) necessarily try to dissuade people from starting this sort of project simply to be a prick.

What I'd like to find out is if there are any people out there who've created a successful video/file sharing website who'd like to help others out...

Like, what advice they would have for people who want to get into starting a similar site.

How much bandwidth does your site use?

What's the URL?

How are you making money from the site?

How long did it take for your site to make a profit?
etc etc...

Alternatively, if you've tried to start a video/file sharing website and given up on those plans...

Why did you end up giving up?

What problems did you run into?

Ip Is Trying To Download The Same File Many Times

Oct 30, 2009

We have a video streaming server, sometimes the server gets really slow and when we digg into it, we see that the same ip is trying to download the same file many many times. for example i either run this command

netstat -n | grep :80 | awk '{ print $5 }' | awk -F: '{ print $1 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail

or go to WHM and see the 'apache stats' and i see 100 http connections from the same ip, trying to download the same video 100 times,,,

what is this? is this some sort of attack? could that be 100 different people that use a proxy? or what is going on?

Cannot Download File: Forbidden

Jul 24, 2008

I am having a large problem moving my sites over to another server. WHM is timing out transferring some large sites that are 4-16 gigs in size, so I tried to manually pkgacct and was able to get one of the accounts setup as root, moved it over to public_html so I could wget from the 2nd server. No luck, permission denied. I tried to change permissions in FTP and found out I couldn't change them so I chmodded the file as root, no luck.

From there I set chown and changed it to the user of the FTP account and was able to modify the file from FTP. I'm still getting a forbidden message when I try wget or download from browser.

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /backup/cpmove-azcorp.tar.gz on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

At this point I'm clueless, I chmodded the file to 777 so what else could be causing this?

Strange File Download

Jan 25, 2007

Users of my web site, running MD-Pro, a PostNuke (php-based) clone, suddenly started to report difficulties downloading files from the download module. We assumed it was the download module and spent ages diagnosing it, uploading fresh versions etc. After some time someone had the bright idea to see if the files could be downloaded direct (using the URLs) to eliminate the web application.

We found: Some users can download all files from the server with no problems.
Some users can download some files but not others.

So far as we can tell only MS Word files are affected, but not all.

The files on the server are not corrupted and there are no permissions issues

Disabling antivirus and firewalls locally makes no difference.

REloading fresh originals to the servedr does not help.

The host reports that no changes to the server have been made recently.

We have discovered that files in the web root are OK. The furhte down the directory structure they are, the less likely they are to download. Performance varies according to the browser in use. According to the host technical support, 'Firefox appears to be returning the data from its own cache. IE is only doing so for root. For the other places IE tries to download the file but stops receiving at exactly the same number of bytes from different locations.'

Using another server on a different host, the problem disappears so it must be due to the host setup in some way. Diagnosis is difficult because the host technical support can't reproduce it.

Platforms include Mac, Windows and Linux and browsers include IE7, Firefox and Safari.

One user with Mac isn't having problems, another with Mac is. All others reporting problems are on Windows. Users are at different locations, using different ISPs so it is unlikely there are common local problems.

The only common element I can see is that the ony files causing trouble are MS Word, though some of these do download OK

We have run out of ideas why this should be happening. How can some users have problems with the same files on the same server and others not?

What could have happened to cause this problem on a site that has been functioning correctly for several months on this server?

DDOS Deflate On A Static Video File Server

Mar 6, 2008

I am using DDOS Deflate

[url]

I have a problem with NO_OF_CONNECTIONS.
The default is 150

For example, if a website has 200 thumbnails in one page, then the user will get banned.
But in my case, each time a user have only 1 connection(He only access 1 flv file each time).

So, is that safe for me to decrease the number to 20.

I can see a lot of IP having more than 80 connections, which I think they are ddos attack.

For File And Video Sharing : Dedicated Or Joyent / Amazon S3

Apr 28, 2008

I'm building a kind of a file sharing site also with video conversions ( convert a full DVD to flash and stream) and if i can find more ideas, even more features. It won't be free (i'm not sure which way to go though, subscription-based or pay per bandwidth + storage) and it will support download managers. I'm not sure which way to go : Joyent or dedicated servers with RAIDs. If i distribute files over servers, and a users wants the files to be converted to flv etc., it will increase the server load, ( and if i put a lot of users in 1 server it will increase the load even more) so it won't be very good.

So i thought SAN for this, but couldn't find any hosts serving it ( especially for a reasonable price ). Joyent is close enough (Amazon S3 is very very expensive), but although bandwidth and storage prices seem good, server power is low ( and very expensive if higher ) Which way should i go?

Lighttpd Force File Download IE

Feb 2, 2008

we are running a file sharing service and use lighttpd as a web server

the problem is that in Internet Explorer are some files i.e. .mpg, .pdf
and others opened directly in the browser

so is there a way to prevent this behavior(to force the browser to
download the file) by setting headers (or something else) in
lighttpd.conf?

How To Interpret Munin Memory Usage Graph

Oct 5, 2007

The memory usage on my server has slowly been creeping up over the last few weeks due to increased load. Here is my munin memory usage graph for the last week:

[url]

Could someone tell me what I need to be looking for or how to interpret this?

The cache and buffers have been getting really high but also has the inactive memory� so its looks as though its using memory and marking it as inactive afterwards and although graph shows I have massive memory use at first glace it also shows I have half my ram inactive and therefore available to be used.

Script To Limit File Size On Video Share Server

May 29, 2008

We have found that we need to limit the amount of cpu uage by users on our video share server. On this server we currently have 20 users on a sharred plan. Thought that the obvious BW usage would be the biggest challenge, as it turns out we havent gone over the 2 TB that we have.

We have come up with an encoding process that uses the 264 codec and gives us excellent results in terms of quality but is very cpu intensive to the point of really slowing down the server when 10 or more users simutaneously are encoding their videos.

Can someone suggest a script that would allows us to limit the file size in terms of MB/GB that each user could upload per month.

So for example a client pays 10.00 per month and we wanted to limit their uploads to a total of 900 MB per month vs the client that is paying 50.00 per month who would have the ability to upload say 8 GB per month.

Cento 5
c-panel
Dual Quad Core 2.0 ghz
6Mb Ram
1TB HDD
2 TB of BW

Premature Data Download Disconnections From Server

May 6, 2007

Recently our network of servers all started to prematurely disconnect in middle of data download. This can be download of pictures or files.

Eg: [url]

You'll notice on first go it only downloads +-5% of the images. Then you gotta keep pressing F5 many times for images to complete downloading.

Having attempted many solutions to correct this (so that it downloads data 100%), I though I ask on forums since there's always somewhere here that knows more then admins.

Would you please share any solutions that would solve this challange? Or any guidence on what to adjust.

SErvers specs:
Linux 2.6 kernel (latest)
Apache 2.0

Server Cuts Out/brakes Download Of Data.

May 3, 2007

My server (serving hosting) constantly keeps cutting out data download of files or pictures. So pictures usually load only 10%, then you need to keep pressing refresh to see whole picture.

As for downloads, I tested with a 8MB file. I downloaded with typical firefox browser and 1st time it claimed it finished downloading at 3MB mark. Second time at 1MB mark.

I have no idea how to fix this. Any solutions as to what to change or adjust in order to prevent this from happening?

Additional notes:

Server only supports php/static pages. It's limited to 150Mbits, and constantly wants to do more. But I can't lift now due to financial concerns.

Moving Large File Storage, Upload/download To Amazon S3

Jul 24, 2007

I'm currently running on a VPS. My site allows for large file uploads and downloads, with files over 600mb in size.

The server has issues when the site gets three or more requests for large file downloads. I'm trying to grow this site to thousands of users and it is hard to do when the site can't handle even three.

I've been told by my host that I need to upgrade to dedicated. My VPS only has 512mb RAM and one large file download is eating up that RAM. This is causing the issue.

I'm a newbie and while I knew I was risking a bit by going with VPS I do find it a bit annoying that these guys advertise 1TB of bandwidth per month but I can't even support downloading 1GB at the same time....maybe it's just me...

Anyway, I am now looking into moving the large files and the upload/download over to Amazon S3. If I do this I am expecting my RAM usage on the VPS to greatly decrease. Is this correct? If my PHP code is running on the VPS, but the actual file download via HTTP is coming from S3, that should not be a heavy load on my box, correct?

any opinions on S3?

Apache :: Playing Video On IOS8 Device / HTPasswd?

Dec 5, 2014

I run some tests with an Apache 2.4.10 running on W2k3 Server to see if Videos are playing well. The site is protected with .htacess/.htpasswd for now. I use jwplayer as player. The videos run fine on FF and IE, but as soon as I want to play them on an IOS 8 device (Iphone, Ipad), it doesn't work anymore. The message I get is "File cannot be played". The odd part is - when I remove .htaccess/.htpasswd, it works immediately. IOS devices, or is there something specific to be set to make this work? I logged in to the site with user and password, which always worked flawlessly. I assume it's not an Apache problem, since it runs fine on FF, but maybe someone here is aware of such a bug or something.

Apache 2.2 & CPanel :: Some Websites Download Instead Of View

Oct 16, 2007

I'm trying to get setup with Apache 2.2, and did just fine on one server but the second one is giving me some troubles. I'm having an issue with some sites wanting to download instead of display. Does this ring any bells with anyone right off?

httpd.conf appears to be okay as far as I can see, but obviously something is not quite right somewhere.
