httpd.conf new file locations -apache2 - apache2

I'm trying to add some semblance of security for my website. I've been following this: https://www.tecmint.com/apache-security-tips/ and they want me to edit the httpd file but it doesn't exist in my server. I started doing some more research and I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html which says it doesn't exist and "all configuration options have been moved to the below referenced directories". So I would appreciate it if someone could tell me which files to add those options to! Also should I edit the apache2.conf file?
Edit: I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS

the Main Configuration file for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora is: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
and for Debian/Ubuntu is: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
as you are using ubuntu os so you should edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
for more information and the history about apache2.conf and httpd.conf , as mentioned within ubuntu doc Ubuntu 18.04 Apache2 Web Server Guide:
httpd.conf: historically the main Apache2 configuration file, named
after the httpd daemon. Now the file does not exist. In older versions
of Ubuntu, the file might be present, but empty, as all configuration
options have been moved to the below-referenced directories.

snmpd not found issue?

I've installed the net-snmp package (version 5.8) by downloading the tar.gz file and compiling the files inside on a RHEL server (version 6.9).
I can see that the package is installed when I type snmpd --version but whenever I try to use service snmpd restart it says snmpd: unrecognized service.
I did all the setups and the snmpd.conf file was created (but not at /etc/snmp/ for some reason initially, so I copied the file there) but it seems like snmpd isn't being recognized at all.
I even tried snmpd restart but nothing happens and it seems like the SNMP connection still isn't there either.
Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks!

PHP 7.x connection with MSSQL server with MAMP

I am trying to connect mssql server to PHP 7.0.8 through MAMP. I have tried using freetds. On some blog people are saying to use pdo_dblib.so extension but it's not working.
Please guide me through the process of connection.
For those who still have this problem:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.1/bin/pecl install sqlsrv pdo_sqlsrv
Edit php.ini:
extension=sqlsrv.so
extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so
If necessary, use brew install autoconf if you don't have it already.
While the answers posted by Vague Space and Pedro Santiago helped, I still think the answers are a bit lacking and incomplete… Or ask you to do too much. Honestly the official Microsoft instructions are overkill when they state you need to install their Docker image of SQL Server and such? C’mon… Most people just need the drivers installed to make a connection.
So here is my answer based on my experience installing the pdo_sqlsrv.so and sqlsrv.so modules in MAMP (version 5.2) but should work for most any MAMP version that supports some flavor of PHP 7.
Adjust the .bash_profile so MAMP’s binaries and libraries are a part of your $PATH settings.
First, adjust your .bash_profile so the MAMP stuff is in there; makes it easier to launch and work with MAMP specific binaries and ensures MAMP libraries are checked when doing things like installing new modules like this.
The way I like to do it is like this; set $MAMP_BIN and $MAMP_PHP variables like this and then rebuild the $PATH variables:
# MAMP stuff.
export MAMP_BIN="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin";
export MAMP_PHP="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/bin";
# Final $PATH setting.
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$MAMP_BIN:$MAMP_PHP:$PATH";
Save it and just log out of the Terminal session and back in, or just resource the .bash_profile like this:
source ~/.bash_profile
With that done, let’s install the core Microsoft ODBC binary stuff.
Install the Microsoft ODBC stuff.
Do this to install the core ODBC stuff on macOS; be sure to have Homebrew installed:
brew tap microsoft/SQLSRV-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-SQLSRV-release
brew update
brew install --no-sandbox msodbcsql17 SQLSRV-tools
Then when that’s done, go ahead and install the Unix ODBC stuff like this:
brew install unixodbc
Now install the actual PHP modules via PECL:
pecl install sqlsrv pdo_sqlsrv
With the modules installed, add them to the php.ini file in MAMP so PHP can recognize it. For PHP 7.2.10 on MAMP 5.x it should be located here:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/conf/php.ini
And just add these config lines to the bottom of the file:
; Enable 'Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server' extension module
extension = sqlsrv.so
extension = pdo_sqlsrv.so
; Configuration
;sqlsrv.WarningsReturnAsErrors = 1
;sqlsrv.LogSeverity = 0
;sqlsrv.LogSubsystems = 0
;sqlsrv.ClientBufferMaxKBSize = 10240
;pdo_sqlsrv.log_severity = 0
;pdo_sqlsrv.client_buffer_max_kb_size = 10240
Note, most tutorials—and even PECL when you install the modules—simply mention adding extension = sqlsrv.so and extension = pdo_sqlsrv.so to the php.ini config, but these config options are the ones that RedHat has when installing the PHP SQLSRV via the Remi repo. Yeah, most of them are commented out but I still like having it there for reference.
Follow this guide through step 3: Microsoft PHP drivers for SQL Server
Find where pecl drops extensions in your local machine
Copy the files pdo_sqlsrv.so and sqlsrv.so into your MAMP's PHP extension directory. Mine was located at /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7x.x/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-foo-bar
Edit your php.ini file to include the new extensions:
extension=sqlsrv.so
extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so
Restart your MAMP servers.
having just done this in 2019 with MAMPPRO4 on windows 10 (follow upto step 4 to test that you are connected and then do point 9 ) point 5 onwards is for changing the path in the command line
download dll files from microsoft
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=20098
follow the instruction after running the exe file and place the dll
files into the extension directory of the php version that you are
using eg: MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.29/ext
check phpinfo for the Loaded Configuration File of the php.ini file
add the 2 dll files depending on your requirements (I wasted time by
using the 64.dll) make sure you are using ts(thread safe) not
nts(none thread safe) in the file name of the dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_71_ts_x86.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_71_ts_x86.dll
in control panel search for advanced system settings and click
click Environment Variables
under system variables not user variables click path and click edit
click new and add C:\MAMP\bin\php\php7.1.29 (Edit this to your path)
restart MAMP
open a new command line an enter php -v
you should see the php version displayed

ckan local installation, 500 error on solr JSP support not configured

I am trying to install CKAN on my local computer using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I followed the instructions for installing from source found here and I try to check if solr is running by visiting http://localhost:8983/solr/.
I can see that Jetty is running because when I visit http://localhost:8983 I see that it is up.
I added the jdk as follows:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64
I am getting a 500 error when i try to open the solr page:
HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /solr/index.jsp. Reason:
JSP support not configured
Powered by Jetty://
Any ideas? Should I redo the whole thing from the start?
Edit/Update
I just couldn't do anything with this installation. The bigger problem was that installation files were meshed up! I tried to install tomcat/solr instead of jetty/solr and things went sour. So I just created a VM and did a fresh install there. For anyone interested I did a tomcat/solr installation following this and a CKAN installation following this (with out of course the solr instructions). Also, for some reason the CKAN installation has commented out the solr URL, so even if it is right, I had to delete the comment.
A fix has been documented by #mstantoncook here [2939] & [1651] How to solr-jetty JSP support
Note the last comment, sudo service jetty restart
It's a Jetty BUG on Ubuntu 14.04!
There is nothing wrong with Ckan itself.
Actually, there is a bug in the libjetty-extra-java package (version 6.1.26 and newer) in Ubuntu 14.04. The bug was introduced after Jetty (in Ubuntu) has changed it's dependences from libtomcat6-java to libtomcat7-java.
You can get more info about this bug in Ubuntu Launchpad: Bug #1508562 "Broken symlinks for JSP support in libjetty-extra-java version 6.1.26-1ubuntu1.1".
The bug is already fixed on Debian, and I'm hope it will be solved in Ubuntu 14.04 soon.
There are workarounds that may work for your case
I proposed some workarounds in this bug report, and since they can be useful for the Ckan users, I'll also replicate them here.
All of them consist on use both jetty and libtomcat7-java, but adding/replacing some classes (code ported from libtomcat6, in put in the jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar file) to the Jetty classpath.
I don't know if they have some problem. Use them at your own risk!
Workaround 1 - Install the fix package proposed by vshn
I found this workaround here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/2966
In short:
wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
service jetty restart
This will install a JSP jar that works (the file will be named jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar, but it contains classes ported from libtomcat6).
Workaround 2 - Manually install the JSP jar
Download the same JAR file that the DEB package above would install.
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jetty/+bug/1508562/+attachment/4785985/+files/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar
Now, move it to a proper location inside the Jetty config dir. I did it this way:
mkdir /etc/jetty/extra-jars
mv jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar /etc/jetty/extra-jars
And add a line like this one in the Jetty start.config file:
echo "/etc/jetty/extra-jars/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar" >> /etc/jetty/start.config
And:
service jetty restart
Correct solution
The correct solution is to wait for the Ubuntu Team solution. However, while waiting for this fix, you can use any of the previous workarounds (I prefer the last one).
I hope they help you!
Try this steps:
sudo mv jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar /usr/share/jetty/lib/.
change own:
sudo chown root:root /usr/share/jetty/lib/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar
finally restart jetty:
sudo service jetty restart
I followed this steps and now I can see localhost:8983/solr and localhost/solr/admin
In Ubuntu 14.04 this can be fixed with:
cd /tmp
wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo service jetty restart
Following http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.6/solr-setup.html#single-solr-instance
(this one a bit old, but worked perfect for me )
You will have to edit /etc/profile and add this line to the end such as this to the end (adjusting the path for your machine’s jdk install:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/ (or other version)
then
export JAVA_HOME
sudo service jetty start

Phpstorm does not see xdebug but it is installed

PhpStorm cannot see xdebug but it is installed. In my browser xdebug works fine. Where is the problem?
The error:
Connection with 'xdebug' was not established. Validate installation.
php.ini
[xdebug]
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so"

phpinfo in phpstorm:
PHP version: 5.4.10
Loaded extensions: bcmath, bz2, calendar, Core, ctype, curl, date, dom, ereg, exif, fileinfo, filter, ftp, gd, gettext, hash, iconv, imap, json, ldap, libxml, mbstring, mcrypt, mysql, mysqli, openssl, pcre, PDO, pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql, pdo_sqlite, pgsql, Phar, posix, Reflection, session, SimpleXML, soap, sockets, SPL, sqlite3, standard, tokenizer, XCache, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, xsl, yaz, zip, zlib
First, are you using MAMP (free) or MAMP Pro?
Turns out there is a difference between the php.ini file you edit from MAMP and the php.ini file that PhpStorm uses in the interpreter.
The MAMP Pro php.ini file resides in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini and doesn't have a PHP installation (which PhpStorm needs when setting the interpreter). If you run phpinfo(); this is the file you will see data from.
When you set PhpStorm to the necessary location here /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.x/bin it looks at the php.ini file there, not the one that MAMP Pro uses (above). So if you want PhpStorm to see the debugger, you need to add the code to that php.ini file.
For help setting up the interpreter for MAMP and PhpStorm refer to the documentation here
HELPFUL HINT: When checking to see if xdebug is installed make sure to run the --version command in terminal from the MAMP php location. Otherwise you'll end up seeing the default OSX PHP info which wouldn't have xdebug installed by default.
Example: run this in the PhpStorm terminal to see if it works /Applications/Mamp/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/php --version
MAMP using different php.ini if you run it from terminal, try this code to find the php.ini
php -i | grep php.ini
After that add the code for activate the xDebug
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="/Applications/MAMP/tmp/xdebug"
xdebug.max_nesting_level=1000
If this work, please consider accept the answer for the benefit the others.
This is because Mac OS X has php installed by default. There are two ini files for MAMP PRO.
PhpStorm will run the default php which you do not add the xdebug function to it.

Pay attention to the STEP 5
===================================
okay, if it do not work, I thought u may not pay enough attention to the article, It do helpful and explain the reason, read i again ?
I had similar problem.
I did:
Installed xdebug by following the steps here.
Found out which version of PHP does my PHPStorm use.
Created a new entry in the corresponding php.ini file of the /path/to/xdebug/modules/xdebug.so.
and I was able to solve my problem. xdebug is working now.
I had a similar issue in that it worked then it did not.
In my case, the cause turned out to be an miss placed .htaccess file in the root of the project.
The .htaccess file (repeated below) was there from a previous set of testing and was intended to stop XDebug from working. It sure did.
php_value xdebug.remote_autostart 0
php_value xdebug.remote_enable 0
php_value xdebug.profiler_enable 0
I just renamed the file and like magic, all was good.

Ushahidi No Input File Specified

I have been trying to install Ushahidi platform for weeks but without any luck. I recently started over using Ushahidi latest release ushahidi-Ushahidi_Web-2.0.1-140-g0991172.zip and extracted it to folder ushahidi under my root.
I am using godaddy Linux server. I have tried both the manual and wizard to setup Ushahidi. In all cases, after installation, I get the same error when I try to access admin page. The error reads:
No input file specified.
I have tried tried installing using the wizard and the manual process. My PHP version is as required.
Any help will be appreciated. I need it to work so I can move on and customize it. Very disappointing such a good open source tool has poor installation guides!
Thanks.
Sting
there are a few things that can trip up following the installation.
Make sure that:
mod_rewrite is turned on in apache "a2enmod rewrite"
AllowOverride All is set in your apache config for your site (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default)
your .htaccess file points to the correct webroot
