Running FTP And HTTP Server From PC
Oct 21, 2007
I am trying to install a FTP Server in my computer so that I can simply login into my own computer to grab important files at work... since carrying laptop and loosing flash drives are becoming annoying .
In my home computer I have Linksys Router, and Verizon as my ISP (blocks port 80, 21 I believe).
Since Verizon blocks those ports the configuration has become a nightmare.
Using BulletProof FTP Server I made the FTP Server listen to port 5000. And in my router's forwarding section I opened the port 5000, and made it listen to 192.168.1.100 (Port Range Forwarding, TCP UDP both).
I did the same for my Apache server and made it to work with port 443.
When I access [url] the web server loads up fine.
But when I try [url] it doesn't load up, where 1.2.3.4 is my IP.
When I visit just my IP in the web browser, it loads up the Router Configuration page.
And the FTP server doesn't connect when I try with the

my friend's server is being attacked, the http processes shoots up causing the server load to go above 200 in minutes of starting httpd which causes server to die.
this is how the apache web server's access_log would log a normal http request;
------------------------------------------------------
"xx.xxx.xx.xx - - [01/Jun/2007:22:13:21] "GET /folder/name.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 877 [url]"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
------------------------------------------------------
Today when the http load increased we saw hundreds of following requests;
------------------------------------------------------
"xx.xxx.xx.xx - - [01/Jun/2007:22:13:21] "GET /? HTTP/1.1" 200 16305 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)"
------------------------------------------------------
You see the difference between a legitimate http access log entry and the above one is that the legitimate one shows the filename(GET /folder/name.gif) and domain name being requested whereas the second one shows ("GET /?")
Above requests continously originate from 30 to 40 different ip addresses. Most of them russian ips, and many form US and canada to.
When i do a grep "GET /?" in access log there are thousands of these which started just today.
I cannot block each ips because i feel they have hundreds of IPs to initiate these requests from.

If i put domain.com on uptime checker,and downtime is detected,downtime will be reported if dns is down or if http server is down.So question is what i need to do to see what exactly went down?For network uptime i can ping ip adress,but for these two i really don't know.

I need to find out what would be the best software to run an image website for one of my clients, there is only one domain so I've considered using LiteSpeed Standard (Free)... What server do you think would be the best?
All I need is PHP support for the image viewer software.
Apache
Lighttpd
LiteSpeed
nginx

I've setup a dedicated server that is currently running with a domain bound to it. However this time I want to setup a centos 5.1 + latest apache 2 + bind 9 server that can only be connected to by IP address and doesn't have a domain name. So what do I need to modify in the below files to do so:
First of all will I even need bind at all? I already have it setup and (mis-)configured but I guess if I don't need it I can just take if off of autostart and stop the process "named".
Named.conf
options {
pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";
query-source address * port 53;
allow-query { any; };
allow-transfer { };
recursion no;
notify no;
version "unknown";
};
logging {
category default { null; };
};
zone "server.domain.com" { type master; file "server.domain.com.db"; };
I don't even want the zone have domain.com in its name but that's just there so I could show you how I'd include server.domain.com.db.
server.domain.com.db
$TTL 14400
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. root.server.domain.com. (
2007052503
14400
3600
1209600
86400 )
server.domain.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.domain.com.
server.domain.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.domain.com.
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
www 14400 IN A 78.129.174.164
I'm not sure what to do about those references to domain.com here, they shouldn't be needed but without them I don't know what to put here. ^^
Obviously I can't use those nameservers...
resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 78.129.143.155
nameserver 87.117.198.200
nameserver 87.117.196.200
The only thing missing from this file is "search domain.com" at the top, is that needed even though I won't really have any domains used by this server?
/etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail ....

SO the last few months I been trying like crazy to tweak Apache or find a better http setup such as running lighttpd with Apache, etc. I have been frustrated by the way Apache easily fork bombs under any decent load or dos attack. You get about 100 bots all making 30+ connections a piece on Apache and it kills it.
Bot kids have adapted to ddos protection and connection flooding banning by sending low bandwidth attacks that do not make enough connections to get banned if you do have protection, its real low bandwidth incoming but is like a massive vampire attack outgoing. And it destroys Apache no matter what you do, what modules you have, etc. You basically have to go in and manually ban or set your connection tracking limit down to where it starts banning regular users too.
So I seen on here somewhere someone recommending litespeed to someone so I went and checked it out and was amazed by the performance. I installed the trial enterprise in a p4 server I been having problems out of lately crashing all because a busy site and I installed it in my main server.
The only thing I needed to do was compile my own php5 for it, which is real easy via their wiki instruction. After a few snags here in there I finally got it working tip top on both servers, both of which are cpanel.
So with the p4 that was always crashing and keeping hi load, We would end up having to remote reboot that box almost once a week not due to any misconfiguration or wrong setup, just couldnt take all that Apache usage and would die. We instantly noticed a difference with litespeed. The average load used to be about 1-2 always, with litespeed the average stayed about ..2 even under heavy traffic. So this was a big improvement and we have not had to reboot that box since.
My main server which I take my high risk clients on, core2duo 2.4. I thought there for a Lil bit the sites were starting to outgrow the server as its average load always was around 1 which was fairly acceptable seeing the traffic it gets so normal for Apache.
During the low bandwidth ddos attacks I would have to go in and manually ban as well as setting connection limit way down just to keep it from lagging, most of the time it still did. So I was really wanting to do something for this server to optimize http without upgrading, because it seems most of your hardware upgrades are to suit Apache anyway.
So I installed litespeed on my main server, ran into a few snags here and there but eventually got it under control. Just the last few days I got to see it put to the test.
I took on a client who was being extorted by a ddoser who recently got him kicked off his previous host. SO as soon as dns resolves here comes the crapstorm. A low bandwidth http attack, a lot got by ddos firewall on the network level which these are hard to stop because they are so similar to a legit user.
So I started getting hundreds of csf connection tracking blocked emails, was checking the site periodically and it loaded fine. So I logged in the box, looked at the load.
Was at .24. When I done netstat command there was hundreds of syns coming in and about 250 ips all connected about 50 times, this would normally kill Apache no matter what CPU/ram and all that you have. So I set connection tracking down to a reasonable level, 60 connections and I figured I would just let them get themselves banned. Looking in the live stats in the litespeed admin panel which is real cool BTW. I was seeing about 400 requests a second. This was eating a Lil bandwidth, all outgoing as that is how the attack works like a massive vamp attack. So about 2000 connection tracking emails later finally gets em all banned. The entire time the load on that box never even got to 1!
So im pretty much amazed how fast and light this http server is. And especially how well it handles dos. I about know for a fact even if you was on a non protected network it could handle as much http as your pipe will give it, and do all this at a low resource load.
This will end up saving me money on hardware upgrades in the future as well. Long review, long story, but I been so amazed by this http server I had to make a review on it. Im sure some geniouses will try to say "If you do this and that with apache you can make it just as good" But check it out for yourselves and see.

There seems to be some problem with my server, none of the websites hosted on my server are accessible, the http requests either return a blank page or a page with a red quare on the upper left hand corner.
I am not sure if this is some kind of infection or DNS problem or a problem with memory apache is taking up
as i have thousands of virtualhost entries in my access log accumulated over the years out of which only a few 100 websites i am serving presently, but never deleted the non-exitent virtualhost blocks.
At times the websites are opening but most of the times they are not. And when they do not open my http requets are not logged in apacha access log.
Even the customers have reported the same problem.
Also, just four days back i had a strange issue where all
http requests to my server would take me to [url].
I can SSH to server, and everything else is working fine.

I'm using IIS v5.1 on WinXP SP1 and I encountered this error (Page cannot be displayed.....HTTP 500 - internal server error) all of a sudden. now, i've been using my Web server with no hitches, but now I can't open any pages on the server that run server side scripts so i reinstalled it and still get the same "Page cannot be displayed" or I get part of the source code for the server side script. Pinging the server shows that its ok, it replies. and regular pages with no scripts still run with the http protocol in the address. Any ideas on how to get past this problem?

I have a Linux server running some reasonable setups:
Opteron 180, 4 GB RAM, running 8x 36gb 15k scsi with hardware raid 10 -- this is one of the servers from WebNX advertised here not long ago
Running CentOS 4(?), Apache2/MySql 4/PHP5.2, the normal stuff.
I have only one main site on the server, which runs a pretty old PostNuke CMS in Chinese (0.7.2.3 Phoenix) + PNphpBB2 + Gallery 1.5.7 (all integrated into PostNuke). This site is pretty light in "human" traffic, getting about 20K hits per day.
Now, the problem I have noticed with this site, is related to the many MP3 files stored in the Gallery albums. There are lots of HTTP requests to these files, most maybe from Chinese search engine bots (judging from IP), that slows the server to a crawl and even crashes Apache. This happens in the late hours here when it's day time in China. As a matter of fact I just did a reboot, and in 5 minutes there are more than 1000 HTTP requests to MP3 files resulting in a traffic of 2.1+ Gb. So within minutes, the server is brought to its knees again and I can't even get the "apache status" from CPanel now: "Unable to retrieve apache status".
The company that manages the server for me said there's no security problem here. We have installed an Apache extension to limit the number of simultaneous requests to media files to 1. However that doesn't seem to help.

I have an Xitami server and am migrating to apache httpd. I have the regular server working fine. I tried configuring ssl, but no requests are coming through. I know 443 is open on the router because it works fine under Xitami. I checked the logs and it si starting fine. I am attaching my httpd.conf and the startup log. If I try to access the website using https, it just times out and nothing goes in the log file. I replaced my domain with domain.com. I have tried many different examples, but cannot get it to work and am not sure what to do.

When i try to open any website hosted on my server (around 50 of them) i am being taken to following malware website;
[url]
[url]
This is a problem with my Limnux server running Apache and not a virus on my local computer as customers from all over are reporting the same issue.
As soon as i restart Apache eveything returns to normal with no such redirects.
I think my server is being attacked causing http requests to get redirected to some malicious website.
This issue would resurface almost every hour and would not go away till i restart apache.
So far my Datacenter techs. have not been able to identify the cause of this.

I'm trying to set up password protection on an Apache HTTP server, and it's not working.
First, the environment: Apache 2.4.4 installed with XAMPP Control Panel 3.2.1 under Windows 7 Professional.
http.config says "AllowOverride All."
The .htaccess file in the protected directory says:
Code:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd samples
htpasswd prompted me for the password twice, and I entered it twice. When it quit I had a file named .htpasswd in the subsidy directory. I typed it and its contents looked correct according to the examples I've seen.
Then I restarted Apache and tried to load a page from the directory. The browser simply prompted me for the username and password over and over.
The Apache error log says, "AH01617: user samples: authentication failure for "/subsidy/filename.html": Password Mismatch."
I deleted the .htpasswd file and ran htpasswd again, specifying a different (very simple) password. I also confirmed that caps lock was not on both before and after. I restarted the server, tried to load a page, and got the same problem.
Apache seems to think I'm entering the wrong password, but that seems impossible when I've just defined it myself -- and I've tried twice, intentionally choosing a very simple password the second time. If the message means what it says, the cause must be something very different from the obvious one.

I'm running Apache 2.4.7 on a RHEL 6.4 server. I'm using the Oracle WebLogic Proxy Plugin ver 12.c to connect to a back end server.What's happening is that Apache answers URL.. and proxies the request via the WebLogic Proxy Plugin to internal.blah.com. Unfortunately, the downstream system encounters a problem and issues an http 302 redirect to internal.blah.com/whathappened. I would like to have Apache intercept this http 302 and redirect the client to URL...

Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

My Linux Server's Http Daemon (Apache) would stop serving websites ever so often, as soon as apache is restarted the error fixes iteself only to resurface within few hours.
The apache process would still be running i.e. apache does not die but no websites hosted on my server would be accessible from browser. And when this happens the apache logs do not log any http requests.
Instead when this happens all http requests to my server would be redirected to some weird Trojan website and my Norton Antivirus would show an Alert/Warning, for example;
"Browser exploit at www.xxx.xxx was blocked"
Risk Name: MSIE WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX Control BO
or another error like;
"Auto-Protect has detected Trojan.Fakeavalert".
At first i thought the problem could be with my Laptop/ISP so i logged on to the server via SSH and opened try to open a website using command line "lynx mywebsite.com" and it shows following error;
"Alert!: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable".
Now if i assume my laptop were to be infected, then as soon as i restart my apache and visit mywebsite.com eveything returns to normal with no such warnings. Why do i see those norton error messages only when apache is down with 503, and when apache is down with 503 how come the http requests always get redirected to some suspicious websites and nothing gets logged in apache error log?
I think my server is being attacked causing http to get unresponsive and thereafter http requests to my server are redirected to some malicious website, is this correct?
Also, i suspect this is a php script exploit as some customers have reported that google have blocked their website due to security reasons, i found <iframe> tage inserted in some php pages which i fixed.
Also, another thinh i noticed;
when apache responds with the 503 it is referencing PHP 5.1.4 in the header response:
[root@]# curl -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (my server ip)
HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4
Retry-After: 20
I am running PHP 4.3.9m why does apache responds with PHP 5.1.4 when this 503 error surfaces?
Also, since my apache was dowan with 503 error a customer mailed in today saying;
"It seems that my site www.xxxx.com is regularly down, and the winlogon virus is involved."
I suspect this is again due to the fact that http requests start getting redirected?

I currently have one dedicated server and four VPSs all using Plesk and all having their own name servers controlled by Plesk. What I'd like to do is consolidate everything so all my sites use one set of name servers.
I'm a PHP developer (and will be developing my own front end), and only have limited knowledge of administrating a server, so first of all if anyone has done this before and made mistakes in the process, please could you share them with me so I can avoid making them?
Secondly, I would like to use a MySQL database for storing the DNS info - I've found a tutorial at [url]which I'd like to use - could someone who knows what they're talking about have a skim through this and reassure me that everything there is correct and up to date (the article was written in early 2006 - just checking nothing in the world of DNS has changed since)?
I'm using Fedora.

Should i stick with Windows, run IIS and use httpZip from Port80?
I really like microsoft, and don't want to change and adapt to something else.
give me advice
Or, should I run Linux
I would run Linux on it, but I don't know how.
And they have different version of Linux. Example Redhat, Ubuntu etc.
Which one should I go for?
Also, what do I do if I have a netgear ethernet card? Is that Linux? Is it compaitable with Redhat?
And last question, what do I use for security?
I'm a hacker, yeah.. I know what all people can do to websites. How do I stop them?
DoSing, Cross Scripting, XML Attacks, MySql Injection.. Etc.
If a linux fan can respond, that would be nice.

I am 3 days new to figuring out how to get Perl scripts to run on my Windows XP box. I downloaded and installed the Apache installation file "httpd-2.0.65-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8y.msi" and the "strawberry-perl-5.18.2.1-32bit.msi" from the perl.org site in hopes that I could get a feedback form to work for a web site that I am working on.
Out of the many pages that I have viewed online of how to configure the Apache Server, nothing has given any favorable results with their explanations.
My last attempt was [URL] ..... where I could not get the example to work. I did the changes to the Apache file "Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File" fairly easily but I must be having problems with the test.pl because I can't get it to work.
I used a different version of Perl (Strawbery from perl.org because it installed without giving me an error pop up after installation) and after copy pasting the script, in an attempt to get it working, I ended up changing it in hopes that I could get it working, shown below.
#!/strawberry/bin/perl.exe
print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
";
print "<phtml>";
print "<body>";
print "Test Page";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
This is what the site says to create the program with:
#!/perl/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
";
print "<phtml>";
print "<body>";
print "Test Page";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";
where I assumed that "#!" meant the "C:" drive and substituted the first "/perl" with the folder the Strawbery Perl had installed itself to and left the second "/perl" in the first line thinking that it was referring to the executable in the "C:strawberryperlbin" folder.
This is the error I get when trying to get the script to run when typing "localhost/test.pl" in the address bar.
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
........"
Know how I can change the title of this post to read "Configuring Apache HTTP Server 2.0 to run Perl in Windows"?
