I'm running Apache2 (2.4.29-lubuntu4.11) on Ubuntu Server 18.04.
I see documentation for enabling server-side includes (SSI) when I google, but it's always done in httpd.conf (modern apache2.conf), etc. I suspect these are older posts. I manage my domains out of /etc/apache2/sites-available/some-domain.conf (individual vhost configuration) files and I don't wish to enable server-side includes except for a couple of domains.
Can the effect of enabling SSI be limited to only selected domains?
How is this done specifically? I've tried, for example,
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Options Includes
</VirtualHost>
How do Options, AddType, AddHandler, AddOutputFilter, etc., done in some-domain.conf, interact with what's in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?
You can do it in your . htaccess as well as just enabling it in a container.
For more information please take a look at this documentation: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/ssi.html
To permit SSI on your server, you must have the following directive
either in your httpd.conf file, or in a .htaccess file:
Options +Includes
This tells Apache that you want to permit files to
be parsed for SSI directives.
To enable SSI for a specific domain or directory you can also put it in a container inside a virtualhost configuration:
<Directory /example/dir>
...
Options ...someOtherOptions... +Includes
...
</Directory>
I think your last question (site conf or Apache conf) was already answered here.

I am trying to setup up basic authentication to a folder on my localhost running apache. Currently the app runs fine without authentication. I have setup a virtual host so I can access my application through dev.myapp.com
The code I add to my .htaccess file to force authentication is:
<Directory "/Users/myusername/Sites/dev.myapp.com">
AuthType Basic
AuthName Test
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /etc/apache_users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I have created a user.
When I type dev.myapp.com into the browser I get an internal server error. I am fairly new to apache. A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.
First off, using .htaccess is a bit slower and requires that you have set the AllowOverride directive accordingly. It is recommended that you instead use httpd.conf to establish basic authentication. The Apache documentation explains all of this so check out this link http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html.
Regardless, I think I see the error. Your <Directory> tag looks a little odd. I understand the name of your site is dev.my.app.com but is that the actual name of the folder where the site dev.myapp.com points to on your server? Your httpd.conf file should have an entry like this:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "document/root/path"
Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
The DocumentRoot is where Apache directs all incoming web traffic. If you are trying to establish authentication for your entire site, the value of DocumentRoot is most likely what you would want in your Directory tag ... making it <Directory /document/root/path>.
To locate httpd.conf look in in /etc/apache2/. Make sure to restart your server after you change the file (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart). Hope that helps, please update if you haven't already resolved the problem.
I'm installing Reviewboard on linux, I have copied the config provided by the install package to httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs"
# Error handlers
ErrorDocument 500 /errordocs/500.html
WSGIPassAuthorization On
WSGIScriptAlias "/reviewboard" "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi/reviewboard"
<Directory "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs">
AllowOverride All
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
Allow from all
</Directory>
# Alias static media requests to filesystem
Alias /reviewboard/media "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media"
Alias /reviewboard/errordocs "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/errordocs"
Alias /reviewboard/favicon.ico "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media/rbcommons/images/favicon.png"
</VirtualHost>
However, when I access "http://SITE/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi", it just gives me the file in plain text instead of running the script
I have checked the mod_wsgi is running on apache2 by "apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES"
Did I miss any other configuration?
You should be using the URL:
http://SITE/reviewboard
and the WSGIScriptAlias directive should be:
WSGIScriptAlias "/reviewboard" "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi"
Do be aware though that it is bad practice to be putting your whole Django site under DocumentRoot. That you are seeing the source code for the WSGI script file highlights why it is bad. That is, have an issue with your Apache configuration and you could expose all your source code for people to download. Especially bad if settings.py is in there and it contains database passwords.
Now, address those issues and update question with what you then have and what next problem is as I don't expect that to completely solve the problem because with those mistakes you should have got a different problem than what you describe, so suspect that your configuration is not even being used.
I have an Apache 2.2.21 server installed on my Windows 7 machine.
My site is up and my scripts from /scripts subdirectory are working but when I try to load icons from /icons I get a 403 forbidden error.
I've already added this to my httpd.conf file:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/icons/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
Still no effect. So the question is: how can I access files in my /icons subfolder?
P.S.: Using /images subdirectory worked out just fine but the question still remains.
I figured out that /icons/ was included as an alias for some other directory. For me, configuration file was located at:
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.21\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf
I had to comment out this line:
Alias /icons/ "c:/Apache22/icons/"
Have you checked the Windows permissions on the /icons directory, and made sure that the Apache user can read that directory? Is there possibly an .htaccess file in the picture?
Edit: Okay, so it's not permissions. My next guess is this: your config above says "everyone is forbidden access except when they're coming from 127.0.0.1". But you're on Windows 7. Windows 7 tries to be helpful and modern - and often tries accessing via IPv6 first. So you might show up as coming from ::1, which is probably failing to match 127.0.0.1. Try turning off IPv6 or adding an Allow from ::1 directive.
Ok so if your httpd.conf doesn't do anyhting you should restart apache. Any changes done to documents have to be restarted so Apache can "Refresh".
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/icons/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
So above this is your code. It basically says in line 4 that Apache should deny connection from all incoming connections connections to the /icons/folder.
Also on line 5 it says to allow incoming connections from only 127.0.0.1 or localhost. So basically the server has access to it!
If changing it doesn't work you should look in .htaccess. Another option is just to copy the Code from a folder that works and paste it and just change the paste from EX:
"C:/WAMP/www/images/" to "C:/WAMP/www/icons".
I've got an apache web server (without mod_perl) that's been running just fine for a long time.
It has been suggested that we use mod_perl to improve the performance of some scripts.
I want to go ahead and install mod_perl on the server, which seems to be a relatively straightforward process, but I'm confused by some of the stuff coming up on Google searches.
If I install mod_perl (through the debian repositories), will all of my existing CGIs suddenly start "using mod_perl" and exhibiting potentially wonky behavior?
Or is there some configuration in apache that needs to be done for an old CGI to "start using mod_perl"?
Apologies if this is a straightforward answer but I am confused by the terminology being used in multiple ways in the documentation.
mod_perl has to be configured in your httpd.conf to be enabled. So not every script on your server will start to use mod_perl automatically.
Usually, you enable mod_perl per VHost. A usual configuration of mod_perl for a vhost looks like this:
<VirtualHost some.funny-domain.com>
ServerName some.funny-domain.com
ServerAdmin admin#funny-domain.com
DocumentRoot /data/path/to/root/
Perlrequire /data/path/to/startup.pl
PerlModule Apache2::Reload
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
PerlModule Apache2::RequestRec
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/data/path/to/root/cgi-bin/"
<Location /cgi-bin/>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
PerlOptions +SetupEnv
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
CustomLog logs/access.log combined
ErrorLog logs/error.log
</VirtualHost>
Be carefull with the automated install-process! It may enable mod_perl on the wrong host for some reason! BackUp your config and apache-installation first to be able to "roll back" easily.
Comment: The line "Perlrequire /data/path/to/startup.pl" is not required. It is optional and sets some environment variables for the running scripts under the mod_perl env.
I wanna to know how to install cakephp on localhost?
Please explain me.
I usually make an apache and mysql installation on a linuxbox. I can use windows too, however I do not recommend it ;)
So, I usually make a new entry into the /etc/hosts file to make a sitename available to cakephp.
127.0.0.1 localhost caketest.local
next step to copy all cakephp files into a subdirectory inside /home/myusername/public_html/caketest
app
cake
index.php
plugins
README
vendors
.htaccess
then I set up the site to apache (not neccessary),
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/home/myusername/public_html/caketest"
ServerName caketest.local
# This should be omitted in the production environment
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
<Directory "/home/myusername/public_html/caketest">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
restart apache. you also need to edit the .htaccess files and place a RewriteBase directive with hte path to the actual directory, e.g.
RewriteBase /~myusername/caketest
create a database, set the db connection in cake config files and that's all.
you can point your browser to http://caketest.local
if you do not want a test site url you can skip hosts, and apache vhost creation, but the url to use should be http:/localhost/~myusername/caketest
another important thing is to enable userdir modul in apache, and also check if using php is enabled in userdirs too.
If you're on windows, get WAMP. Install it, then download CakePHP in C:\wamp\www\. Extract CakePHP in that folder so you have a folder kind of like this: C:\wamp\www\cakephp\. Now you can access the installation by going to localhost/cakephp/.
An old article of mine but still quite relevant:
Installing CakePHP
Assuming you have a *AMP setup (Apache+MySQL+PHP), just copy the files to your htdocs folder. On Ubuntu, it's /var/www, so you would create /var/www/myApp and copy the whole Cake structure into there, ending up with something like:
/var/www/myApp/app/
/var/www/myApp/cake/
/var/www/myApp/vendors/
/var/www/myApp/index.php
/var/www/myApp/.htaccess
Then you can access your app by the url: http://localhost/myApp
