I'm using .htaccess file and mod_auth_mysql for protection of a site, where the old users are in flat passwd file and the new ones are in DB, so i need both the standart .htpasswd check and if the user is not there check in the mysql DB
well here is how currently my htaccess file looks:
------------------------
AuthName "Password Protected Pages"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/edited/.htpasswd
----------------
but the site doesn't accept neither the flat passwd file users, neither the ones from the nats DB, it just pop-ups the password dialog box again, whicih means that the password is not accepted
For the users i tested with i double checked that they DO exist in the htpasswd file or in the DB, so its not that
also, cause the site and the DB are on different servers, i have authorised the first one to query the mysql db at the second, so its not from that as well
i have removed the sensitive information (domains, users and passwords from the sample code i pasted here)
so...i'm totally lost here and any directions or ideas will be highly apprecicated
I'm on a shared host right now and my server doesn't have the mod_auth_mysql installed. I was wondering if there were any additional alternatives for authenticating content using information from my CMS Users table? If I posted in the wrong forum, I apologize in advance as this topic could go either way, programming or server configuration. Thank you for your valued time.
I have a website that supports a community organization. Fairly simple: Drupal, forum, photo gallery. The site on its own occupies less than a gig.
However, we keep an archive of all photos taken at our events, in full quality. The photo gallery gets reduced quality versions of these photos, but people can get the full-quality ones via ftp if they want them.
Unfortunately, these photos come out to many gigbytes, which means if I'm to use one host, I'm basically stuck with one of the "over-sellers".
I was thinking of separating my website and storage needs between two different providers: one for the php/mysql hosting, and the other just for plain file storage.
1- What means that the site has an IP?, what will differ if the site has an IP?
2- What is the importance of IPs for every site?, I mean now I'm running a shared hosting, Should each site has it's dedicated IP? and is it dangerous to make all clients has same IP?
3- I got 5 IPs with my server, how can I assign a DEDICATED IP for my main site, and then assign the 2nd 2 IPs for my main site Name servers & Finally assign the rest IPs for Resellers?
4- In the domaintools whois Service, Under Server Data category, sometimes I found : Dedicated Hosting: domain.com is hosted on a dedicated server.
what this means, and how can I make my domain looks like this , cause it's already hosted on a dedicated server.
5- When I asked my Server Co. about extra IPs, they told me:
" for smaller allocations its $1 per ip, we also require full ARIN IP justification." so, what's ARIN IP justification?
I'm interested in making a site which would stream video game (RPG) audio to users through flash. I have long searched for a service that I could use to listen to that odd track from final fantasy 8 for example (and not some cheap midi) without going through hundreds of links etc. So I'm thinking of making one myself.
I know there are sites that host mass video game mp3s (gh.ffshrine.org) and also remix and host video game music (ocremix.org) but I don't know if what they are doing is OK by normal hosting standards.
I have a question regarding, hard drives and performance etc... I only use it for forums and currently is only one site (hopefully couple more in no time)
Currently I have 2x36gb SAS in raid 1 obviously containing everything including dbs and /home. and a third 250gb drive for backups only ^^ Ronny did an excelent job setting this up.
Any ways, my problem is that I wan't to allow some attachments on my forums, and this would take a significant ammount of space over 1gb no problem and then keep increasing (that's gonna sux for bandwidth). I know it will fit in the SAS drives no problems, dbs are rather small at the time (2.5gb in total) but logs are quite big 5-10gbs in total.
I thought it might be a good idea to purchase another drive. This 4th drive would be 750 and backups would move there , and use the 250 for the /home directory. This would give a lot of room for uploads, and backups accordingly and keep the fast ones for OS and dbs
I was told, however, and understandebly, that a lot of performance would be lost by moving /home to a SATA drive I know SATAS are no way as fast, but then vbulletin can't upload attach files to a folder outside its hirachy (without complicated modifications). (Note: i didn't specify my resons for wanting such set up)
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Having the bigger drive would allow me to have the attachments, and should eventually result on more traffic etc to my site. /home currently is only 150mbs big... but then performance is also an issue pitty i couldn't afford the bigger drices at the time [sees the point of renting over buydowns now]
is there a way that /var/log/httpd saves those massive logs on another drive? it would free up 5-10gbs
in shortIs moving /home to a SATA drive from Raid 1 SAS a bad idea? (considering space and purpose)
Could httpd logs or /var/log in general be moved to the backup/another drive?
Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive
Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image
Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files.
Here is what i am currently using
rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive)
I have a Cpanel box, in WHM I used the "PHP Configuration Editor" and changed the php execution time (minor change). After clicking save I now get the following error on any php using sessions:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp /sess_1d374c43a0f726cd43776f9f92485bec, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/continou/public_html/control/index.php on line 4
One thing I noticed it did was turn on PHPSuexec which generally causes problems for me. I turned that off and the error response changed slightly (to above) but the problem is not solved.
I tried rebooting the server. /tmp does exist, I am now rebuilding apache in hopes that corrects the problem.
I've got a vps running centos 5.3 on an openvz platform. I've been using a simple set of iptables rules but recently the host moved me to a new server and I'm having issues with my firewall. I'm pretty sure it's the firewall since if I stop iptables or flush the rules everything works properly.
my rules:
Code: !/usr/bin/env iptables-restore *filter :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :INPUT DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT The last rule continues with all the other used protocols (pop3/dns/http/etc)
The problem is incoming connections with should be allowed from by the related,established rule aren't permitted. If I use wget,ftp,ping, or dig from my shell they all report a time out. For example dig w3.org gives no server reachable. If I capture all dns requestes with tcpdump I see the outgoing request to dns and I see the incoming data but dig still reports a timeout. Since tcpdump sits before iptables and I have no output filtering it seems that my input filter isn't seeing the related/established state of dig and allowing the results in.
But, what's the solution? Do I need to ask the vps provider for something specific? If so what?
Or is there a better way to write my iptables rules to compensate for this problem?
I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?
connection state ESTABLISHED,RELATED is not working in my iptaables...?
Accept If input interface is lo Accept If state of connection is ESTABLISHED,RELATED Drop If protocol is ICMP Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 80 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 99 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 25 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 110 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 10000 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 21 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 30000:30500 Accept If protocol is UDP and destination port is 53 Accept If protocol is UDP and source port is 53 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 445 Accept If protocol is TCP and destination port is 2390
this in my Incoming packets rules..
Outgoing packets are all accepted..
so if i made connection from the server the input rules shuld accept them because it is established and related connection.. But it wont work.. any ideas about it..? my vps is running on cent os 5.2 final..
I was asked by a user why he only saw a page with 'related links' when he went to the web site. I checked and saw the same thing if I typed www.domain.tld. If I just typed domain.tld, the page displayed fine. In trying different things tonite, I cleared my cache and now neither url works.
I am using Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5.3. If I click the 'Preview' button on the panel, everything looks great. If I click the 'Open' button, I get the 'related links' page.Today, the shcnf.com link seems to be working fine and the 'Open' button in Parallels Plesk Panel works, but the www.shcnf.com link is still showing a 'related links' page.
My DNS settings show:
shcnf.com record type: A value: 198.144.188.31 www.shcnf.com record type: CNAME value: shcnf.com
I do not currently have a preferred domain set in my hosting settings. I tried setting one the other night with no luck, though I was also playing with the DNS settings (I tried setting www.shcnf.com to an A value with the IP, hoping to force it to work).
As I am going to launch unique product connected with webhosting in the near future, I would like to learn more about the tech aspects of webhosting. By tech aspects I mean for example how to setup nameservers - how they work and how to setup them, SSL, how to setup ftp etc., so, basically I am interested in all the things connected to servers.
Could you please recommend me some guides or books related to webhosting and server management. I am newbie to servers and hosting, so I would like to learn it from the ground. I am searching for some book for beginners, but I cannot find any.
I think the wrong text is displayed for the option "Remove Domain Alias".
In Plesk 11.5.30 Update #13, in a Webspace, on the Websites & Domains tab, if I click an alias, a window appears for the alias with the option to "Remove Domain Alias". If I move the cursor over the text "Remove Domain Alias", or click on the link, I see a pop-up: Removing this website will also delete all related files, directories, and web applications from the server.
I think this is incorrect because removing an alias should not remove any files, directories, and web applications.
I am using a script, on which i want to enable friendly URL, below are the instructions.
Friendly URLs Settings Apache Settings
(please add the following lines to your .htaccess file to turn on friendly URLs) <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /hcl/friendly_url.php [L] </IfModule>
I have a vds with godaddy. I uploaded my site and then uploaded .htaccess (AddHandler server-parsed .html) Then when I go to my site in browser I get this error.
Safari can’t open the page “mydomain”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
The thing is, I did the exact same thing on another domain with the same htaccess file and everything works fine. SSI is enabled on both.
I'm currently having a problem with a site of mine. The problem is that trying to go to domain.com/subdirectory/ (with or without the trailing slash) gets a 404 error (even though the directory exists).
However, domain.com/subdirectory/file.php works fine.
When trying to figure out what is causing this, I remembered that someone who recently did some work on this site had to add something to the .htaccess file. Here's what they added:
I haven't done much with .htaccess, so I really have little idea what any of the above means or does (although I know it does something important).
So I guess my question is, could this bit of code be causing my problem? And, if so, how can it be corrected without messing up what this code was put there for in the first place?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showtopic=([^&]+)&st=0$ RewriteRule ^forum/index.php$ [url] I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I put that in my .htaccess file. Got it from [url]
i have a mobile download site.. now i dont want users to directly download from my site.. i mean hotlinking..
I hav a referal thing in my .htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url](/)?.*$ [NC]
Now there is a flashget like software for mobiles.. i want that my users are able to download using that software but the prob is that soft doesnt sends any referal info.. so in my .htaccess i want to allow that software and i am trying this
For some reason it appends the my_profile.php to the end of the url, and it does it to any file in the same directory and just keeps going around in a loop, why would it do this?
