Apache :: Include Information On Last Page Served In RewriteCond
Feb 8, 2014
I run a the polyglot website [URL] .... and my question is about "how to serve a page in the language preferred by the user, if available?"
At the moment I use Multiviews to add a language code to the requested URL according to the AcceptLanguage header (e.g. if "tr", serve index.html.tr instead of index.html), but this information doesn't always match user wish and I was told that serving different filenames for the same requested URI can prevent proper pages indexing by search engines.
So, I will now store web pages in each language in a specific directory, e.g. subdirectories en, it ru, tr, etc. For instance /tr/index.html will be in Turkish.
On every page, user can change language clicking on a link showing e.g. "uk" for Ukrainian. Now I want that once they do that all pages requested by the same client be served in the same language, unless/until user click on another language link.
I know that I could set a cookie or use HTTP-REFERER for that, but possibly the browser can be set to refuse cookies or not sent the Referer HTTP header.
So my question is : knowing that when a user click on a language link we serve a page in the corresponding directory, how could I reuse that information for next request of the same client (same IP address), including it in a RewriteCond directive so that I can serve requested page in the same language directory, if it exists.
I wish to avoid server side scripting (at present the website is 100% static).
I have setup Nginx to serve static pages. I cache some pages and therefor they are static and should be served by Nginx. Now, how can i check if a specific page actual was served by Nginx and not Apache?
We are hosting provider. I running Plesk 11 on Window 2008 64 bit. I have a website error as flow
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
Is there anyway to emulate the functionality of the ErrorDocument using rewrite rules, redirects, rewrite conds or other methods.
I'm trying to create a 404 page that can use dynamic variables (not allowed in ErrorDocument), that serves a custom 404 page and also logs a 404 in the HTTP status code in the logs.
I can achieve one or the other but not both as the ErrorDocument does.
When I type mail.mydomain.com into any browser it resolves to the first virtual host that my apache has even though there aren't any document roots defined for mail.mydomain.com. Apache itself works fine, mail server itself works fine as well. I thought that since mail.mydomain.com has an A record but does not have any document roots specified for that Apache simply takes the first virtual host it has on its list and shows it up online as mail.my domain.com. Is that not right? Is there perhaps any misconfiguration somewhere?
I tried deleting virtual hosts one by one and this test simply confirmed that in order to "serve" mail.mydomain.com Apache takes the first virtual host it has on the list. Then I created a document root for mail.mydomain.com and now it shows some test content I specified but my issue / question remains.. Does it mean that I have to create document root stuff for every single A record I have? For example I have an A record for mail. mydomain. com which works as a mail server but for some reason it also resolves as a simple web page?
The problem in short is that when I type mail.mydomain.com into a browser it shows the content from subdomain.mydomain.com. The relation to mail is not webmail, it's just a regular standard mail server. The question / goal is to find out whether it is supposed to be like that? If it is then I will have to create some content to be shown when someone types mail.mydomain.com
I am having an issue where I have a server that Directadmin is installed on. I go to the a url that is on the server and all i see is the default page of apache saying congrats, it is installed. Although there is no file like that in the public_html any longer and I can see my files in the public_html folder of that specific site.
I'm doing some work for a friend of mine, and he's requested that he be able to have multiple domains refer to the same DocumentRoot (have all the domains load the same pages).
Sometime Apache Test Page opened insted to Home page of website, also sometime Network TCP/IP error occured to same site.
I didn't change any setting of httpd.conf last period. also because this problems manily happened in countries which access internet via proxy I check site via [url] and it's working fine
Im using AJAX on my site and i need to access a seperate server instance on a different port. AJAX wont allow me to do that so i want to use Apache as a proxy but only for one page.
... and nothing works. My webserver gets hosed, and my otherwise working system gives me an error when I try to get a page from it. I am, by the way, using Mac 10.6.8, with Apache 2.2 on both server and client.
There is a page on a separate SharePoint environment, under http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy. We have a subdomain called http://123.domain. edu . We need the home page of http://123.domain,edu to point to the SharePoint site, so when users type http://123.domain.edu , they are redirected to http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy.
The trick is this - we need all sub-directories NOT to redirect. So, whatever is under http://123.domain.edu/subdirectory should not redirect at all. Is this doable? Also, if it is, I have no clue where to go to make any changes, so any instructions would be great. So far, I have found the text file httpd.conf that I can edit, but I have no clue about the rest.
I want to add an advertising banner to every web page served.
The problem is I cannot seem to make the OutputSed command recognise absolute paths. I can make it work with a relative path for both the image and the <a> href, but not absolute, which is awkward as the webite wiill have different directories for content created by FTP for hosting results of different tournaments.
This is what I have in my vhost.conf file for the banner image:
Code:
<Directory "/var/www/fencing-results.co.uk"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Allow from all AddOutputFilter Sed htm OutputSed "s/<body>/<body><img src="/var/www/fencing-results.co.uk/banner.jpg">/g" </Directory>
When running OWASP ZAP web security tool, I get the following flag: Secure page can be cached in browser. Cache control is not set in HTTP header nor HTML header. Sensitive content can be recovered from browser storage.
I was surprised since i had the no cache header in both html code and httpd header.
After investigating the flag, i noticed that the response was a generic 302 found error response from Apach (located in apache/src/modules/http/http_protocol.c).
I have added a patch to code when adding the cache-control & pragma html headers with no-cache - and that had solved the security flag (patch attached).
full response given: header: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:44:40 GMT Server: Apache X-Frame-Options: DENY Location: https://***** Content-Length: 376 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
body: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>302 Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Found</h1> <p>The document has moved <a href="https://******">here</a>.</p> <hr> <address>Apache Server at 10.209.0.81 Port 443</address> </body></html>
In conclusion: Issue is "Secure page can be cached in browser." (found by owasp zap) for https page response "302 Found" from Apache.
Source site is very chaotic (static pages + wp pages) and there are no clear rule for redirection (no regex ).So I need to redirect every single page but syntax:
Redirect 301 esp.site.com/oldpage http:// es.site.com/newpage doesn't work!I think "esp.site.com" in source page is not acceptable syntax..which is the correct syntax ? Can I manage all from one .htaccess file in main root (www) or should I create "esp" directory (and point old subdomain to it - one for every language) and put .htaccess in every directory with redirection ?
a question on mod_proxy. We're using mod_proxy as a simple reverse proxy (ProxyPass & ProxyPassReverse) to reverse-proxy various back-end PHP and Mono/.NET apps.
One problem we see is that when the back-end PHP app suffers an error (e.g. a 404 or 500) , then mod_proxy ignores the nicely-formatted custom error page served up by our PHP app, and instead serves a very plain generic mod_proxy 404 or 500 error page back to the client. Is there a way to configure mod_proxy to serve up the 500/404 error page content which is created by the back-end app ?
(We thought ProxyErrorOverride might work, but it seems to be intended for the opposite scenario, where I want to *ignore* the 404 page content from the back-end and show a mod_proxy-defined error page instead.We're using apache 2.2 on 64-bit CentOS 6.5 ( httpd-2.2.15-31.el6.centos.x86_64 )
I'm looking for a way to add a script in the header tag of a web page without using a CMS or anything like that.it should be the first script that is running when the page is rendered.I'm running Apache 2.2.25 and Tomcat 7.0.50 - both Win32 versions.
There are two reasons for an approach like that.
(1) - I expect it to work regardless the CMS I'm working with; the same expectation is for Tomcat and Java applications. (2) - I'm able to start this as early as possible => includes monitoring the performance of the CMS itself.
