I have installed an SSL certificate on my Ubuntu EC2 instance and I need one of the websites hosted on this instance to be accessible via https. I have several websites hosted all on the same IP through Virtual Hosts. However, I only need one website to be accessible via https. I am sure about the following: SSL certificate is properly installed Port 443 is open on EC2 I am sure about these because when [...]

This may be super easy so I apologize in advance but my strengths are in coding. Why can’t I access my localhost at localhost:8080? 127.0.0.1:8080 – works 127.0.0.1:80 – doesn’t work 127.0.0.1 – doesn’t work localhost – works localhost:80 – forwards to localhost and works localhost:8080 – doesn’t work I am trying to adjust my hosts/etc file to include localhost sandbox.dev In turn I would like to access my app at sandbox.dev:8080/test-file.php. So far, I [...]

I have a server with IP 1.2.3.4 and I want the domain www.something.com to load website from /var/www/html/something/ I’ve tried to configure them as follows: NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>ServerName www.something.com ServerAdmin emai@email.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/something/ ErrorLog logs/something-error_log CustomLog logs/something-access_log common </VirtualHost> I’ve reloaded apache, but when accesing the domain, it only shows the root of the server /var/www/html/ Any idea what is wrong? Asked by n/a A common mistake is to set the IP address in VirtualHost [...]

I have security measures put in place to keep unwanted users out of my server. I’ve changed the SSH port, disabled root login, have a software firewall to block portscans, and have entries in hosts.deny and hosts.allow. I have various services denied to all but another server of mine should my IP change, and two other administrators + my own IP address. My question is, can hosts.deny/allow configuration be overridden so that they can gain [...]

A long time ago I found some guide that showed how to use the Windows Hosts file to forward incoming traffic to another local IP/Port. We setup a clients server on one IP/Port, and they wanted it changed to another IP/Port on the same machine, but are now asking that we forward UDP/TCP traffic to it as well. I am pretty sure this is doable but I cannot for the life of me figure out [...]

Our server is running Apache on port 9000 (because IIS is at 80) and we have the following configuration (vhosts.conf) to access our sites: NameVirtualHost *:9000 UseCanonicalName Off<VirtualHost *:9000> ServerAlias %1.ourserver VirtualDocumentRoot D:/oursites/%1 VirtualScriptAlias D:/oursites/%1 </VirtualHost> So we can open the browser and access by http://someclient.ourserver:9000/. So far so good. Now we are installing a new server, where Apache will run on port 80, but we need that one specific site to have the VirtualDocumentRoot [...]

I have Ubuntu 11.10 running on VirtualBox and I’ve set up a virtual named server. I’m able to access this site from Windows 7, but I’m not able to access the site from Ubuntu. My HOSTS file is located in /etc/ folder and looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ubuntu-VirtualBox 192.168.0.97 mysite.com But whenever I try to access mysite.com from the server, I get redirected to a site saying that this domain is for sale. [...]

On CentOS 5.x I used webmin panel and I was in mysql settings, I was trying to allow “root” to login from my home ip in addition to localhost. In the hosts list I had “any” or “localhost”, I tried to make it “localhost,84.xx.xx.xx” thinking it will allow me to login from my local computer with mysql administrator program. After I saved the entered data I cannot do much on mysql Webmin says DBI connect [...]

How should I set up a server to map all subdomains of a domain to an IP? I wish I could do something like that in the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 *.example.com As mailq mentioned, DNS supports wildcard host entries (while the hosts file does not). A DNS record with the name * will match all names for which there is no other record on that name, returning the wildcard record. An entry would look like [...]
