I'm hitting a snag with htaccess. Have created .htaccess and .htpasswd files, set up apache directory options just like always... the exact same setup works fine on CentOS 3, but I can't seem to get it to authenticate on CentOS 4? Am I just being blind stupid (as in not seeing something 'exactly the same') or is there something different I'm missing? I have selinux running

Yeah, maybe this is a bit on the edge.... I am discovering several issues with users on satellite internet connections not being able to authenticate via a htaccess/htpasswd system. Some users cannot connect at all, some can connect reliably.. and some are hit and miss.. works one day and not the next. Yet those same users can log in fine if they switch back to their dialup system. Has

Hi all. I''m at my wits end.. I''m trying to set up a Rails app (on a Ubuntu system), within the public_html directory in my home directory (as opposed to the /var/www/ directory). ie. in /users/john/public_html/myapp I have a simple app setup, and using the Webrick server it works fine. But trying to get Apache to work is becoming a pain in the *&^*. I followed the

Situation: We are providing hosting services. I've grown tired of the various kiddie scripts/dictionary attacks on various services. The latest has been against vsftpd, on systems that I can't easily control vs. putting strict limits on ssh. We simply have too many users entering from too many networks many with dynamic IP addresses. Enter.... thinking about LIDS or Log Based

OK, so I did an upgrade to PHP 5.3 on one of my servers. I noticed the uninstall of php also removed SquirrelMail and it won't install under PHP 5.3. Has anybody worked this out with a good RPM or repo solution? -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

hi friends, I have configured a HelpDesk Ticketing System on Centos4.4. The problem I am facing is that there is a file called "site.xml" which contains the information about database connections and I don't want ppl to be able to read that file through browser. As per the readme.htm of that software if the below entries will be put in .htaccess then nobody can read the xml through

I have a cgi/perl program that I want to use on the same server as my RoR app and I keep getting: The page you were looking for doesn''t exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. I load the program to the cgi-bin directory in its own folder /cgi-bin/ fump/ In the /public folder of my app I have the following .htaccess file: # General Apache options

I've been seeing some random Proliant DL380 G4 64bit crashes. Each time, on the console are messages relating tojbd2/cciss and something about a waitfor 120 seconds. Is anybody else seeing anything like this? Oddly, I can't seem to find this in the logs. I guess it can't write when this happens. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online

Hi, I made some experiments with the sample blog application, my index.fcgi file contains the following: require ''camping/fastcgi'' Camping::Models::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => ''sqlite3'', :database => ''database/camping.db'' ) Camping::FastCGI.serve(''blog.rb'') Without ScriptAlias the application works fine,

After installing the rails I faced this problem.

OK, so does anybody have a good firewall rule solution for what we're supposed to be doing with bind these days? Obviously port 53 is no longer enough. TIA John Hinton

Does anybody happen to know if 'for sure' the order in which you list modrewrite rules is the order in which they are processed within a .htaccess file? It does work, but I want to know that it always works. Basically, I have some multiple wildcard rules, where directories can't be hard coded and as it goes deeper into the directories, the more shallow levels interfere with the

I'm running bind in a chroot environment. It seems that since the Redhat snafu which wrecked bind (yes, I had caching nameserver running as well but not anymore) I have been having problem with my slave nameservers retrieving updates from the master. Looking at the zone records, some are owned by root, some are owned by named. I'm now confused as to what the ownership should be and

Hi all, Freshly installed apache 2.2 with httpd-itk (from epel). When I try to access apache's document root from a browser on local network, it always serve me the Apache welcome page, even if I have a index.html and a phpinfo.php file in the /var/www/html folder. If point the browser specifically to http://server/index.html, I get a '404 Not found error'. I'm running CentOS

Does anybody have a working version of tcptrack running on Centos 6 x64? The rpmforge rpm installs and runs on the -t eth# command, but if you add a port to it, it bombs with a pcap compile error. It runs fine for me on Centos 5 x64, but seems to have what looks like an old bug reintroduced in 6. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

Had anybody been successful in getting Pyzor to run on CentOS 6 64bit? I have it running fine on CentOS 6 32 bit, and I 'think' I did identical installs. But, from the command line I keep getting Oct 6 13:36:00.659 [16065] dbg: pyzor: network tests on, attempting Pyzor Oct 6 13:36:06.205 [16065] dbg: pyzor: pyzor is available: /usr/bin/pyzor Oct 6 13:36:06.206 [16065] dbg: pyzor:

I'm trying to get usable reports out of logwatch on this new system. Looks like the reports are running in an 'unformatted' mode under Postfix/Amavisd. I found a couple of programs, postfix-logwatch and amavisd-logwatch. These sound promising. I am running Amavisd as the frontend to Postfix. Is anybody running either of these as a logwatch filter? If so, is it repetitive to run

For those of you running mailservers on CentOS 6, what are the suggestions for programs to expunge old email? For instance, deleting email from a Spam folder that is 2 weeks old or older. I see that Dovecot does have a solution, but was wondering about what others have landed on. My systems are basically Postfix, Dovecot using Maildir. Thanks, John Hinton

Hmm.. after all these years I actually have a monitor on my desk beside me going through a couple of KVMs to our racks. So, I hope to make more use of direct console connections instead of shelling in. But, now.... the text has always been huge and the interface clunky. And after a bit of googling around, and file searching on the system, I can't seem to find where or if there is a way to

Seems the script kiddies are now hitting vsftp with dictionary attacks. I had three boxes showing around 12000 attempts from one IP yesterday. My thoughts are that there should be an upstream solution for this which is then supported by the upstream vendor. Yes, I know there are several 'other' solutions, but I'd really like to stay mainstream and use a supported method for
