Setup Apache HTTP Server 2.0 To Run On Local Machine And Execute PL Scripts
Jan 24, 2014
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.
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"?
I am migrating to apache httpd 2.4 on windows xp. The current server currently has exe programs that execute as cgi programs. When I try to use one of these links, apache just servers the programs as files for download. How do I configure my httpd.conf to run these instead of download them?
I installed apache, mysql, php on my windows vista laptop, and want to test http downloading. This means when selecting a file (for example, contact.php) from a page, and then click download, it will be downloaded to my desktop.
Do we need to install any other softwares to do that?
Basically I have installed asp.net and mssql on my machine at home and I was wondering what steps I need to do so that I can have my machine act as a web server?
I found a socket available other than 80 which would not allow me to use. I set it in the conf file as 1800 and then go to apache/bin directory and load httpd.exe. When I go to the browser, I have to type in http://localhost:1800 for it to work once. If I close the browser and try again, or I try a php file, it says it can't find localhost. I have to stop httpd.exe and reload, then it will work once.
Do I have to find a way to use socket 80 for it to work?
its possible to do a P2V migration of a Apache http server 2.2
Present environment:
Windows 2003 Apache http server 2.0.63
There are 2 webservers (running Apache) for load balancing. The backend server runs an application which uses an oracle database. Is a P2V migration of the web servers possible?
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.
*My computer is a computer of a 500 computers network within our company.
* i have been given a STATIC local intranet ip 192.168.10.168 assigned by our IT department via their router.
* i have the internet facility provided through the above mentioned intranet for which i get a dynamic ip ex: 188.54.208.205, 176.44.107.21
* i have installed WAMP server.
my current project for the company i am doing should be able to access via internet in addition to the local access. local access is the primary access method. so now i have installed a free dns service like dyndns. at the setup of that, i have choosen a free subdomain ex: my.freedns.com they offer. then i assigned the ip ex:188.54.208.205. also installed their desktop client for monitoring ip changes auto updates.
Now the problem is : when i hit my.freedns.com the page displaying is of our internet service provider. not of my project homepage . How can i fix so when i issue above subdomain it will show my webserver default page?
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...
I am tried to integrate Apache HTTP server and JBoss app server 7 with mod_jk module plugin in Apache.I have two instances of Jboss running and Apache server sends requests to them.I have added following code in "httpd.conf" of Apache:
But, though I have configured this way, when my worker1 goes down,Apache is not sending requests to worker2 and I get "Service Temporarily Unavailable" message.
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 was using apache on my old xp machine but recently got a new computer, vista 64 bit which comes with IIS server.
I am familiar with html/css and starting to learn php, asp etc. Am I correct in assuming that it would be good to setup both Apache and IIS on my machine so that I can test database driven sites on my system, because I will want to work on many client websites who some will use windows/IIS hosts and others apache.
Or is it that with just IIS, I can test all sites in my dev environment since IIS supports everything apache does and more?
I am not sure if when developing a site for a client with a linux/apache host there is a lot of apache configuration that I would not be able to test on my local IIS server?
In fact, I am not even sure if a web programmer would need to do anything different at all dependant on which server type their code was running on.
I'm running apache to serve PHP files on (/home/www/) and thttpd to serve images on (/home/www/images)
thttpd runs on a different IP than apache, apache only listens to its IP.
After doing this, the number of apache processes decreased significantly, however performance has gone down, and apache is starting to crash very frequently (swapping).
Could there be a file-locking issue? Do I have to separate the images folder from the www folder?
I have been using IIS 7.5 on a Win7 32-bit computer. We moved to a Win7 64-bit machine and 1 app does not work. I am thinking of trying Apache 32-bit to see if that works. The script that is causing problems calls Office Word to create a document. Here is a simplified version of script.
I have build windows xp machine. This machine is running OTRS ticket system. All of our users login using [URL] .... and agent can login with [URL] ....
I have also build ubuntu 9.10 machine and installed OTRS ticket system. I like redirect the [URL] ..... in windows xp to Ubuntu 9.10 with [URL] ....
I searched httpd.conf file and tried to change virtual host but it did not worked.
On our production service, we've been getting numerous malformed POST requests to some of our CGI scripts that are showing up as 500 errors in our logs. They are malformed in the sense that the actual content length doesn't match the Content-Length specified in the request.
Here's the most trivial example I can come up with that reproduces the problem for us:
In addition to the 500 error in the access log, we see the corresponding error in the error log:
(70014)End of file found: Error reading request entity data
Based on the nature of the POST request and the error response, it does appear that Apache is doing the right thing here.
The POST never actually makes it as far as the script being targeted (/some_valid_alias in the above example); in other words, Apache returns 500 to the client, writes the error to the error log and never executes the script.
Is there a way to capture/avoid internal Apache errors like 70014, and return some other HTTP status besides 500 (like 403)? It's particularly annoying in our case, because our server sends us an email for all 500 errors.
So far, our best "defense" against these 500 errors is to disallow POST for these aliases, which normally just ignore the POST data anyway (when the request is not malformed):
Its a dedicated unmanaged server that has windows 2003 and apache running. I heard you need IIS to enable SMTP on a Windows machine but I don't want to run IIS because I feel Apache is better.
somebody know is possible on some way route traffic before come to web server (apache or lighttpd)?
I want to setup lighttpd on port 80 and apache on port 81 and I want visitors to go direct to apache or lighttpd without url:81 and that must work on this way if somebody visiting url1.domain.com that go to lighttpd on port 80 and if somebody visiting url2.domain.com that go to apache on port 81 and something must route it before lighttpd and apache (and get/post must work), is this possible on some way?
I know that lighttpd and apache can do it but I don`t need it on that way!
I had setup an apache home server. here the 80, 8080 ports are blocked . So I made my apache to listen to 4040 port. but the problem now is ,i use cloudflare service to point my domains to my server. now its showing error when i give my ip because the port is not 80. i tried putting dns host point to xxx.xx.xxx.xx:4040 in cloudflare but shows invalid ip ...
I'm in the process of trying to pin down a couple errors I've been running into, and after installing and configuring SSL I have occasionally been receiving the following error:
Suddenly on a particular website (possibly following an easyapache php minor version update) if I specify a folder rather than a specific file I get a 503 response.
If I do the same on https it's ok. But http always gets a 503.
If I specify a file it's fine, but the folder always hits a 503.
I have removed the htaccess file and php.ini to rule that out and indeed they weren't factors - it seems like it goes wrong before reading the htaccess file.
