Apache

Hello there, First off, I would like to thank you for providing a simple server solution with Uniform Server. It is the easiest one that I have installed on my computer. I have been using Uniform Server for testing and editing of website without going online. The problem that I have been experiencing lately is similar to the individual who started this thread: http://forum.uniformserver.com/index.php?s...13&hl=subdomain It is an older one so I thought I should start a new thread on the topic. The problem that I have been experiencing is the changing of the root folder. Usually when I enter http://localhost/ , I have been accessing the www folder. Now t…

Hi, ok i was wondering if someone could tell me why I am running fine at localhost but not at my IP or site addy. Yes, port 80 is opened and unused by anything else. This is a fresh fileset and I have not changed anything in any of the configuration files. Do i need to change any values and if so which ones/where?

Can you tell me what the .so extension in apache means, and why some extendable modules of apache are .dll files. If i look in some windows distribution zip files of apache i see every type of file except .dll files or .so files, EG .c, .def, .dsp, .en and .mak(i assume this file makes the module) In my modules folder I see only .so files, would a .dll file work in this setup, I'm using the uniserver 3.3. regards

Hi, I tried creating symbolic links in the document root, e.g.: w:\www\overflow which links to d:\overflow in the hope that Apache would be able to serve files from the symbolic link. Unfortunately, the overflow directory isn't visible on my web browser. I need to do this because the disk on which Uniform Server was installed has limited space. Not sure how to get this working. Please help... Thanks!

Hi all I want to be able to start and stop Apache from 2 separate Windows XP Desktop shortcuts. For the life of me I've tried various paths and settings within the shortcut but keep on getting errors on trying to run Apache. I am running Uniform Server v3.3 and the path is via "F:\WAMP\UniServer_v3.3". Any help with the shortcut's 'Target' and 'Start in' settings would be much appreciated. Many thanks

i was looking to play arround and see if i could install a phpbb forum. i found uniform server, installed it, ran the mysql, and set up the forum. everything worked like a charm and it took like 10mins.... thanks guyz !.... just 1 question: nothing can be accesed except from the localhost domain. if others try to view my forum, or if i try to use my ip instead of localhost, i get a "forbidden" error message. so how do i make my forum accesible by others ? (i had no firewall on at the time) this is the exact error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /SiteName/index.php on this server. Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.1 Server at x.x.x.x Port 80

I can't acces my site from another ip. I changed the.htaccess file i even added a line ( allow from all) but it doesnt work. it say that The server might be busy at this time and The server is not reachable. Can someone help me please. I'm not behind a router and i don have a firewal to. Any ideas what could be wrong??

I want to create two (or more) virtual hosts on my local Uniform Server installation. I've read through the forum postings and see some discussion of doing this, but no enough to match my situation. I have multiple development websites being tested on the Uniform Server platform before uploading to a server on the 'net. I can get one or the other to be displayed, but only by reversing their sequence in the http_conf file. I read in the Apache docs that this is probably because the first Vhost on the list is considered the main server and will be delivered to the browser if the other Vhost servers have an "unknown name". The Apache docs have little to say abou…

trying to figure out why I'm reaching the "root" folder of my Uniform Server when I don't type in the "www" in front of the URL. Works fine when I type "www.mydomain.com", but when I type in "mydomain.com", it resolves to the root folder, and not the virtual host set up. Here is the detail behind this: Uniform Server v3.2 vhost module installed and running dynamic IP via dns.afraid.org For the dynamic DNS entries, I have entered both of these to forward to the Uniform Server: "mydomain.com" "www.mydomain.com" I know that part is working, because when you enter the URL's, both addresses hit the server, only one hits the virtual host, the other hits the root. The…

I would have added this to a previous post, but the topic says it is closed I followed the tutorial found here and everything is working fine, but I would like the directory that I am password protecting to be visable in my directory listing. With the .htpasswd and .htaccess set up the way the tutorial suggests I can't see the directory in question until I have manually typed the address and entered my password. I would like to be able to view this directory in my directory listing, but once I click on it be prompted for my password. Is this possible? Second question if I may...? What do I need to add to the .htaccess file to prevent a certain directory from being lis…

Right I have read most posts here and tried all the things to get it to work but cannot from any PC apart from the one running the server. When I first got the server I went to the network IP (since I am on a uni network). And it showed me a error page saying I dont have permision to see / . So what i did then was edit the .htaccess file to get rid of the rules. I then rebooted the server and tried again, problem was this time the page never loaded at all, it timed out. I also tried it with the firewall off. Any Ideas?

Hi, i just strat lerning php. So i downloaded the UniServ 3.2a just to test the pages i made.

But nothing works :angry: I´m runing W98se... and i…

My second area of confusion (for today): controlling access to Uniform Server admin. I read lekhoi's message from back in May, but it was over my head. I temporarily modified all the .htaccess files I could find in diskw, so that I could test php, cgi, etc. Now I would like to repair that damage, so I and only I can administer my Uniform Server. How do I create a .htpasswd file, where do I put it, and do I then have to reference that .htpasswd file from each .htaccess file? - Jeff

Hi, I'm using a default installation of Uniserver 3.2a under WinXP. I'd like to create multiple user directories. I thought I just have to create /user1/, /user2/,... under the /home/ directory of the server but I can't access them neither with http://localhost/~user1/ nor with http://localhost/home/user1/. What do I have to do to configure such an arborescence ? Thanks in advance...

Hi In IT this term we are creating web sites. I was wondering if it's possible to edit the web server in some way so that the kids can access a program (which 1 have 1/2 writen) off a network drive that allows then to select the dir where there site is in. Then the web server just handels the servering part. But coz they only have read access to this network drive theres a problem with writing to w:\www drive (cos its really the read only network drive). Is there any setting that could be changed to allow the w:\www to be a folder on the local workstation (ie c:\www). Hope this makes sence. Thanks -- Andrew Bob

how do I enable ssl support? There are some aspects of it I would like to test.

Ok, I'm hoping someone can help me. I've gone through a lot of the forum and tried to troubleshoot but I just can't figure this out. First up, environment info: Windows XP PRO SP2 Browser: FireFox 1 Uniform Server version: 3.2 Firewall: SP2 windows firewall Anti-Virus: NOD32 Ok, I fire up 'start.bat' and everything seems fine. I test for PHP: all good I test for CGI: all good I run MySQL server: all good I click on phpMyAdmin link: Apache crashes I tried to figure out if it was a problem with MySQL so I installed a version of wordpress and it the front page seemed to work ok (Apache didn't crash). I then installed dokuwiki, tried to run that and it crashed Apa…

An odd problem, and one that I've not experienced so far in my 6 months of running the server, but suddenly none of my images on my server will load at all, not even on the HTML/PHP pages, or when directly accessed. Anybody have any idea what's wrong? It just says "Loading..." in the tab title (FireFox) and doesn't load anything. Sometimes on rare occassions it'll load the top 1/4 of the image, but won't ever go any further.. Help!

Host platform for Uniform Server will be Windows XP Pro. Is there some way of keeping access to Uniform Server strictly local -- that is, not available via my network connection to the world? Or is that already built in? Note that I do have Zone Alarm Pro installed as a software firewall, so undoubtedly when I try to connect to localhost for Uniform Server, I'll be asked what permissions to give. What should I way.

I have a no-ip.com subdomain address (with port 80 forwarding to 81) pointing to my dynamically changing IP address. I also have a domain address (let's call it domainA.com), right now forwarded to my no-ip.com subdomain address. My question is, is it possible to set it up so that if people come from domainA.com that they are sent to the domainA folder in my www directory in Uniserver while if they come from, let's say, domainB.com that they are sent to the domainB folder in my www directory in Uniserver? The big question, is this possible while using a dynamic IP service like no-ip as a middleman?

Hello, When I try to use mod rewrite in my .htaccess file, I get: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." Rewrite rules doesn't matter, it happens with any rule, all it takes to happen is to turn it on: "RewriteEngine On"

Hello, Where can I find the mapping configuration for the url localhost/a/ to home\admin\WWW please? If I want to change the localhost/a/ to something like localhost/admin/ where can I make this change? Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody, let me start by saying that I am really impressed with the Uniform Server distribution, I had the Apache server fully operationnal in no more than 15mn after downloading it!!! I wanted to install the mod_info module, to see how it operates. The problem is that I don't know where to find it, I am beginning to suspect it may be part of the official Apache distribution. My second problem is that except copying it in the modules directory to see if it works this way, I do not have the slightliest idea of how to proceed to install it. Thanks for your help and guidance.

I got uniform server running, but i wanted to change the port from port 80 to port 82. So i edited the apache config file and restarted but it still won't work for port 82. I tried downloading unitray but it had an error about some .dat file.
