HTTP Server: Connection closed by foreign host - c

Attempting to get this HTTP webserver I found online running after downloading their source files (source: Webserver). [Files located at bottom of webpage.]
I attempted to compile it using their Makefile but there were some errors, where I just needed to #include some extra libraries. However, once I got that compiled and running (tested using telnet)
telnet localhost <port number>
I get the following:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Then after 5 seconds or so it displays the following:
Connection closed by foreign host.
I'm not sure if the person who wrote it is still managing it so I figured I'd ask here. Any ideas as to why connection closes?
I'm running this on a Windows machine connected to a Unix server, so as the program site states, it should be running correctly on Unix machines.

in the file: reqhead.c
in the function: Get_Request()
There is a timed call to select()
You can change the timeout value (currently 5 seconds)
or replace the timeout parameter with a NULL parameter (although replacing with NULL would mean the code, once a connection is established would wait forever.)

First we will see ubuntu system log with this command
sudo gedit /var/log/syslog
and if you will see this error "execv( /usr/sbin/tcpd ) failed: No such file or directory"
then run this command
sudo apt-get install tcpd
It will solve your problem (if not then you need to search your system error on google)

VSCode SSH connection can't see the program but remote terminal can

I work on an HPC cluster. I added my cluster .bashrc ml load git.2.foobar. When I connect to the host on VSCode, it tells me to update my git1.8.
But when I open a terminal on Vscode, git --version returns the one on bashrc.
What is going on?
Thanks!
I also tried adding the ml command to .bash_profile, which didn't fix the issue. I also closed and reopended the host connection to re-source it.

Ubuntu 18.04 Apache2.4.29 not able to open ports other than 80

As stated in title, I have LAMP configuration with Apache2.4.29, the problem is when I open a new port other than 80(in this case, port 12743), it could not be accessed through edge browser as port 80 does.
I added a line here under /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
appended a paragraph under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
after that I used the following command to restart Apache2:
all these shows no warning nor error messages.
The Ubuntu currently has ufw inactive, and used iptables and fail2ban instead:
however, attempts to access the website via new port failed returning the following page:
I wonder what might be the problem.
Problem solved, what I needed was just a sudo reboot.
It turned out that adding ports shall require not only an Apache2 restart but also a server reboot.

Open ssl unkown protocol

I wrote a code that worked for me great, I don't remember modifying it..
I compiled it today and tried to run it, but I got this error:
error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
I also tried to connect to the host name with the openssl client, but I've got and error says: Linked closed ping timeout..
I also tried to Install openssl again, and even install an older version but it didn't work..
Any solutions?
I also tried to connect to the host name with the openssl client, but I've got and error says: Linked closed..
It sounds like the remote host is not available. If you can't connect to the remote host using command line tools, then there's nothing you can do with your code to make it work. Verify that the remote host is responding correctly first.

port selfupdate: "macPorts sources: command execution failed"

I am trying to selfupdate my Macports, but I am getting the following message:
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizing
MacPorts sources: command execution failed
I checked my /opt/local/bin/macports and the directory does not exist. Instead, it is in /opt/local/var. Could that be the issue?
Running with -dt, I get the following:
[Users/user] > selfupdate
DEBUG: MacPorts sources location: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base

What is error 61? Any ideas how I can fix that?
I had this same problem recently, and I forgot to run the command under root. If anyone else is having the problem, be sure to run command as so:
sudo port selfupdate
I was behind a firewall. Tried on a different network and it worked.
There is no /opt/local/bin/macports. The executable you need is /opt/local/bin/port. (Port files are in /opt/local/var/..., which is correct.)
Based on the command execution failed:
you might have forgotten to run as root.
port forks the following programs: rsync, tclsh, openssl, tar, chmod, chown.
Are these executable and in the PATH? (Is /opt/local/bin in your PATH as well?)
If that doesn't help, run port with -dt to get all sorts of debug info. That might help with finding the problem. Append the interesting parts to your question, maybe.
I faced the same issue.But I used to this method in the after.
Go to:
$prefix/etc/macports/sources.conf
(my path is like this):
/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
comment out the rsync entry, and add a new entry as follows:
#rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
https://distfiles.macports.org/ports.tar.gz [default]
After that you can run:
sudo port -d sync
It's also explained on MacPorts.com.
Update for Mavericks: to ensure the XCode command line tools are installed, open a terminal and run xcode-select –-install, then follow the instructions in the resulting pop-up window:
accept license
Of course, this is in addition to the other tips such as making sure to run sudo port selfupdate.
If anybody else is having this issue and they've recently updated XCode, the root of my problem was that Command Line Tools had been omitted from the latest build.
Opening XCode and installing Command Line Tools via the XCode preference panel fixed this error being thrown by MacPorts.
If your company block the access via rsync you can use the http tarball. Explained here
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Now prefer to use homebrew
I too had the same error. It is because the network connection is rejected. If you are using University/Company WiFi or public connection, firewall would be refusing the connection.
As you can see from the output of -dt "rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Connection refused (61)"
There are workarounds available which are provided on the macports site:
1) Using svn.
2) If svn fails too, you can try using Daily tarball.
You can test the changes by running "sudo port -d sync"
Note: If the https fails, you can replace it with http. But doing so is not recommended, as you will be fetching from insecure connection.
I faced the same issue.
The main problem was my network. Because the NETWORK Port was blocked for;
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar
Try to use use another network.
for someone who's problem still exists, maybe you've forgot agree the Xcode license:
# sudo xcodebuild license
remember to look through and type 'agree' in the end.
In my case, the problem was internal to Macports! I updated rsync (the one delivered by Apple is old) with Macports and then Macports failed to use it (/opt/local/bin/rsync) but asked instead to use /usr/bin/rsync which does not exist (or has been erased to force using Macports rsync ?). I created a soft link between the two and now it works again.

MacPorts Apache2 Stopped Launching on Boot

Something that I've noticed recently on two different machines is that Apache2 installed via MacPorts seems to have stopped launching when I boot up. The honest truth is that I can't swear it did so before, but it's something I think I'd notice because installing the LaunchDaemon is part of my install process. In fact, if I try to reload the LaunchDaemon, it fails:
$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist
org.macports.apache2: Already loaded
Unless I start Apache manually (using sudo apachectl restart), grep'ing for either "apache2" or "httpd" in my process list only produces this:
$ sudo ps -ef | egrep "apache2|httpd"
0 52 1 0 0:00.06 ?? 0:00.08 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=apache2 --start-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper start ; --stop-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper stop ; --restart-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper restart ; --pid=none
1410639199 6960 6792 0 0:00.00 ttys001 0:00.00 egrep apache2|httpd
Looks like the daemon itself is in place, but no executable. As far as I know/can tell, the relevant executables (httpd and apachectl) are executable by everyone.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas?
UPDATE
As requested below, I did execute launchctl list. The list is long and I'm not sure how to snip it, but suffice to say that no org.macports.* items are listed. That in itself is interesting because my MySQL daemon is loaded the same way. It works, but also doesn't appear in the list. Let me know if the entire output is really needed.
UPDATE
I assumed that I had executed launchctl list under sudo, but prompted by mipadi's comment below, I tried again ensuring that I did so and I assumed incorrectly. When executed under sudo, the MacPorts items appear:
51 - org.macports.mysql5
52 - org.macports.apache2
I'm not sure whether that will help, but it's a little more info nonetheless.
UPDATE
I've asked a different, but related, question at LaunchDaemons and Environment Variables. I'll update both questions as I learn more.
UPDATE
Today, based on mailing list input, I tried using a wildcard home directory. Academically, it's a little more inclusive than I'd like, but the practical reality is that I'm the only one using this computer; certainly the only one who'd have Apache config files laying around.
Include "/Users/*/Dropbox/Application Support/apache/conf.d.osx/*.conf"
Include "/Users/*/Library/Application Support/MacPorts/apache/conf.d/*.conf"
Unfortunately...
httpd: Syntax error on line 512 of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Wildcard patterns not allowed in Include /Users/*/Dropbox/Application Support/apache/conf.d.osx/*.conf
I found my answer to this problem here:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36101
"I apparently fixed this when changing my local dnsmasq config. In /etc/hosts I added my servername (gala) to the loopback entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost gala
and then I changed ServerName in /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf to match:
ServerName gala
Apache now starts at boot for me."
Since I now know why Apache has stopped loading on startup, I'm going to articulate that answer and mark this question as answered. The reason Apache has stopped launching on boot is that I'm trying to share an httpd.conf file across systems. The config file needs to Include files from directories that exist within my home directory. Since the home directory is different on each machine, I was trying to reference the ${HOME} environment variable.
This works fine when manually starting after the machine is booted, but fails on startup because the environment variable isn't yet set. As mentioned above, see this question for more information.
Rob:
Had the same problem: "sudo launchctl load -w ..." started Apache2 while I was logged in, but did not work during startup (the "-w" should have taken care of that). Also, as you noticed, the daemon seems to be registered with launchctl. It will show up with "sudo launchctl list" and another "sudo launchctl load ..." will result in the error message.
I played with "sudo port load apache2" and "sudo port unload apache2", but could not get httpd running on reboot.
In the end, I got rid of the MacPorts startup item: "sudo port unload apache2", checked with "sudo launchctl list" that org.macports.apache2 is no longer registered for startup.
Afterwards, I followed the steps on http://diymacserver.com > Docs > Tiger > Starting Apache. I only had to adapt the path from /usr/local/... to /opt/local/...
Now the MacPorts Apache2 is starting fine with every reboot.
Good luck, Klaus
I found that my MacPorts apache2 was not starting on boot because of an “error” in my httpd.conf.
I was using
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen 192.168.2.1:80
Listen 123.123.123.123:80 # Example IP, not the one I was really using
And in Console.app I was seeing
4/8/12 4:59:06.208 PM org.macports.apache2: (49)Can't assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.2.1:80
4/8/12 4:59:06.208 PM org.macports.apache2: no listening sockets available, shutting down
4/8/12 4:59:06.208 PM org.macports.apache2: Unable to open logs
I tried adjusting permissions on all the log folders (despite the fact that logs were being written just fine when I manually started apache2) and that didn't help.
Even though the Apache Documentation for Listen clearly states
Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify a number of addresses and ports to listen to. The server will respond to requests from any of the listed addresses and ports.
I decided to try switching back to just using
Listen 80
And after doing so apache2 is starting on boot with no errors or warnings.
If you're using Subversion with Apache, you may find that Apache is not starting because the mod_dav_svn.so file has moved to /opt/local/libexec. You'll need to adjust your Apache startup files to account for the new location of this file.
In newer versions of MacPorts you can run sudo port load apache2 to instruct MacPorts to take care of the launchctl setup and automatically start the process. To stop the process run port unload.
After loading check /opt/local/apache2/logs/error_log for errors, including configuration issues.
In addition to my previous answer I have also found that sometimes Apache fails to start because something else with the system is not yet ready.
On one OS X Server machine I also use the DNS to create a “internal only” DNS name for the machine and that name is used in my Apache configuration. Sometimes when Apache tries to start the DNS server is not yet ready and Apache fails to load because the hostname isn’t valid.
I have also seen this on other non-Server systems without local DNS as well where something else required by Apache must not be ready yet.
One thing that has worked is to edit the apache2.wrapper located at /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper that MacPorts’ daemondo uses to start up Apache.
Edit the Start() function to add a sleep command to wait a bit before launching Apache.
Original (Lines 14-17 on my machine)
Start()
{
[ -x /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl ] && /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start > /dev/null
}
With wait time added
Start()
{
[ -x /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl ] && sleep 10 && /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start > /dev/null
}
