Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache module compatibility

Thanks, -Steve End original message. - No, you really can't claim any such thing because there are a bunch of system libraries involved on any platform on which Apache runs.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache module compatibility
Steve Wong did speak thusly: Thanks for your reply. I do expect the binary releases are tied to platform specific information (OS, processor architecture, dependent libraries). If the only thing change is Apache server version, does it work? Or I should be prepared to add a dimension to my binary release matrix. The grid for the new dimension is the last part of the version number of Apache. So, let me ask my question specific to a single platform again. Is Apache a.b.y backward compatible with a.b.x in terms of loading modules previously compiled with a.b.y? Do I have to recompile my modules for every single minor releases? End original message. - I am not an expert on that but I would say that it is possible it might work but to be safe, you should compile against each particular version of Apache you wish to support. The other option is to make your source code available so people can compile it against their own environment.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Getting back HTTP as-is like plain text sometimes
Dobes Vandermeer did speak thusly: For some reason I'm not getting any hits on my google searches for this, so I'm trying this mailing list. The issue I'm running into is that sometimes I get back the HTTP response as plain text, instead of the *content* of the HTTP response as the correct content type. Many of my requests are served through a reverse proxy to a glassfish server, but I've also seen this happen for applications served directly by apache mod_php. Here's an example of something that was returned to an AJAX query : HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:52:55 GMT Server: Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5 Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 55 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=37 Connection: Keep-Alive //OK[1,["https://www.clarityaccounting.com/login"],0,3] This example was served by glassfish, but I have also seen this with PHP scripts returning something similar.

I know you sent a list of headers in your original post and it was there, but was that for a failed request or a successful one? If it was not for a failed request, you will need to capture the headers on a failed request to see if it is there.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems connecting using Apache on Vista
Gley, David B CTR USAF AFMC HQ AFMC/A7AQ did speak thusly: A little background: I have a client-server application that I created using Delphi. The database server is a Windows 2003 operating system running Oracle and Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 1.3.34). eq_prod.dll is registered with Apache as a handler. The client connects to the database and all works well with this configuration. Development was done on Windows XP running Apache 1.3.39. I am able to run the client software and connect to the database through either the local Apache on the development machine or the Oracle Http Server on the database server. The problem comes when testing Vista Ultimate as my new development platform. I had no errors installing Apache 1.3.39 on Vista. Apache seems to run with the same httpd.conf file that I used on Windows XP. If I run my client software on Vista, I am able to connect to the database through the Oracle Http Server on the database server. If I run the client using the local Apache I get the following error: "Access violation at address 02207FE26 in module 'eq_prod.dll'. Read of address 0B37F330". eq_prod.dll is the name of my server component of the client-server software. Thinking that this may be a permissions error, I have tried running Apache as an administrator, the client as administrator, and both as administrator with no avail. I get the same error with minor changes in the two addresses regardless. An error.log file is created when Apache is ran but contains no data. Any suggestions, David Gley End original message. - From the error message, it sounds like the DLL is not Vista compatible. The error message you are getting is saying that the program is attempting to access a location outside of its allocated protected memory space.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Getting back HTTP as-is like plain text sometimes
Dobes Vandermeer did speak thusly: > > OK, so then are you certain that the content type header is always being > sent? Yes, as far as I can tell it is always included in the HTTP dump that I get. Besides, which content-type includes the HTTP response headers in it? I am not sure what you are asking there. As a result of an HTTP request to Apache, it will always send a series of headers before it sends content. I forget the exact specifics on this as I have not looked at the relevant RFC in quite a while. BTW, the relevant RFC for HTTP 1.1 is RFC2616 OK, after scanning through it pretty quickly, I have a suspicion what may be happening. When the HTTP server sends a response it sends a series of header lines including some details on the status of the request, a timestamp, and a variety of headers defining the content of the request. Each header line is terminated with a CRLF pair. The header section is then terminated with a blank line consisting of ONLY a CRLF pair. I suspect a blank line is getting to the browser before the end of the headers and definitely before the content type header. In such a case, the browser is likely to default to plain text. > I know you sent a list of headers in your original post and it was there, > but was that for a failed request or a successful one? It was a failed request - the only reason I had a copy of the headers was that I saw them in the browser window. Which tends to support my theory above. If you saw them in the browser window, then the browser must have believed that the end of headers had already been sent and took everything beyond that to be plain text content. This will require some more digging. If you have Firefox installed, you can use the LiveHeaders plugin to capture the request and response headers when you load the page. Or if you have a Linux or similar machine that supports wget, you can use it to do the same. > Other than that, I am at a loss as to what might be happening. Me too :-( I wish I could reproduce this more frequently so that I could file a bug or something Well, we need a real good look at the HTTP transaction to determine that.

Thanks -A End original message. - Yes, a machine can indeed respond to a ping (ICMP echo request) while another application is not responding. Apache can get completely bogged down by a large number of requests but the ICMP mechanism is built into the TCP/IP stack in the OS and takes very little in the way of processor or time resources to implement. As far as I know, all modern OS platforms on which Apache runs are multitasking with a preemptive scheduler which means each application gets some share of the processor time on a periodic basis. So it is entirely possible that it will continue to work while Apache is overloaded.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configuration Problems
André Warnier did speak thusly: You might not be aware that in non-US/UK versions of Windows, this will also be different, such as "Dokumente und Einstellunge", "Documentos y Parametros", and so on. Also "Program Files" becomes variously "Programme", "Archivos de Programa", "Fichiers de Programmes", and "Application Data" becomes "Datos de Programa", "Anwendungsdaten" and so on. I do not know where your classroom work takes places, nor if there is any concern about distributing these settings or instructions to a multi-lingual audience that might be using other that US/UK versions of Windows. But if there is, you might want to take this into account, or it might well confuse some. The localization issues should be handled by using the correct tokens in the installation script that represent the proper directories in the installation hierarchy. All of the current Windows installation tools (either Microsoft written or third party) have tools to properly handle the installation if these are used. The issue comes more so in documenting things in print than in installing them. I can only assume that the Apache developers have done the right thing so it gets installed where it should and there is no issue with this. While some people may not like Microsoft's conventional file layout, it is well supported in the tools used to package distributions. Not to mention that most installation scripts I have seen give you the option of placing it in the default location or in a location you choose if you don't like the default. The fact the MS uses a conventional MS way to do things, does not necessarily mean that everyone else has to blindly follow it. No, it doesn't, but when the expectation of the majority of users is that certain things will be found in certain places, why should you surprise them? The principal of "least surprise" is a good one to follow. I use Windows on my own machines both at home and for work, I EXPECT programs to be installed in the Program Files directory and not in the root directory or any non-standard location. I also work on a variety of other servers on other platforms and I generally leave things in their default locations to make support easier. The only times I don't do this is if I have a damn good reason to make changes. Particularly open-source packages and particularly for such packages as Apache, where the audience almost by default is the world at large. A moot point if the installation script in the distribution was properly set up. Again, I expect the developers publiching the Apache Windows distribution were savvy enough to do so. There is a creeping tendency to do so however. Let me ask you this... if you are running a distribution like Ubuntu or RHEL, are you going to follow their file hierarchy or are you going to decide it is all wrong and do it your own way? Each OS has a standard for where things live, Microsoft is no different from any other OS vendor in that they too have a standard. Whether you like how they do it or not is all personal preference. I am waiting impatiently for the Windows Apache version's "cute paperclip popup assistant" to show up. Apache isn't a Microsoft product, this statement is just absurd and I think a bit insulting to the Apache developers.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] FastCGI problem
Hello all, I am attempting to help a non-profit organization setup a new server and migrate over their old stuff. One of the things they want to use is a database application using Ruby on Rails. This system is an up to date FC4 distribution running Plesk 8.1 control panel, instead of the "standard" FastCGI module, they use one called mod_fcgid that is supposed to play better with Plesk. Plesk also says that enabling RoR is a simple matter of enabling FastCGI support, all I can say to that is it isn't as simple as they say. Just do a Google on "Plesk Ruby Rails" and you will see how much trouble people have gone through trying to get this to work in that environment (but I digress...) I have been having a hell of a time attempting to get this to work and have come down to the point where I believe I have diagnosed the problem to be that both mod_fcgid and mod_cgi choke and exit giving an error that says "Premature end of script headers" I have verified that Ruby and Rails are working using the test browser they provide, the application functions fine when I do that. When attempting to use Apache to serve the application via either FastCGI or regular CGI, it simply will not work. This is not only true of this Ruby-based application but also for any script or program I attempt to execute via FastCGI or regular CGI (Perl, binary, shell script, etc.). I do get errors in my httpd error log when using FastCGI but I have no idea what they are really telling me. The underlying cause of the error is not given in the errors. Here is what I typically get when I try to access the script: [Thu Mar 15 14:43:20 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: server /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29959) started [Thu Mar 15 14:43:21 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: server /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29960) started [Thu Mar 15 14:43:22 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: server /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29963) started [Thu Mar 15 14:43:25 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: process /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29963) exit(communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code: 120 [Thu Mar 15 14:43:25 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: process /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29960) exit(server exited), terminated by calling exit(), return code: 120 [Thu Mar 15 14:43:25 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: process /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs/fighter/public/dispatch.fcgi(29959) exit(server exited), terminated by calling exit(), return code: 120 If I use regular CGI, all I get is the premature end of script headers error without any further information. I am at a loss on how to proceed from here. If anyone can help me figure out how to configure this system to get CGI and FastCGI working, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been working on this for nearly a week and it is making me crazy.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Revisiting my FastCGI problem
I originally posted here last week about a problem I am having with FastCGI under Apache. After enabling debug log level and doing a few other experiments, I have come to the conclusion that something is blocking Apache from connecting to unix sockets. mod_fcgid attempts to create a socket (I surmise to communicate with apache...) but it can't connect to it. In desperation, I also loaded up Lighttpd to serve my application on another port and configured it to use uid apache and gid apache so I didn't have to go mess with directory and file permissions. It has the exact same problem. This is on an FC4 system with Plesk control panel running on it. Does anyone know if there is some way that access to these sockets can be restricted on a per-user basis? If so, how is this configured (or more accurately, how do I disable such restriction)?

End original message. - I understand that selinux is not an Apache issue, but it is irrelevant to this discussion anyway as I am now certain that it is not a factor. After reading up on it, I used the getenforce command to check the state of selinux, it is disabled on this machine just like the config says it is and just to be sure, I also forced it off using setenforce 0 to disable it. I am still stuck with the same problem and am no closer to a solution within Apache. The problem is with Apache and mod_fcgid trying to open and connect to a unix socket to communicate with each other, they simply can't do it. The socket gets created but the connect from mod_fcgid is refused which then causes it to end the script execution attempt and produces the premature end of script headers error. For now, I do have a work around that I have already tested using lighttpd on an alternate port, this is OK for now as it is not a high-volume application or a heavily loaded server. However, I would eventually like to get it working as it should under Apache. Because this is on a Plesk-controlled machine and administered by some people who are rather unskilled in this area, I want it to run under the tools they have and know.

The reason I am asking is that I am going to use a self signed certificate (not going to pay an outrageous price of $800+) and I.E. complains about a certificate not being signed by a root authority. I only need a handful of users going to the "\mail" directory and I can have them import the certificate so that I.E. doesn't complain each time one of them tries to access that directory. The public accessing <http://www.example.com>www.example.com doesn't need SSL and if I had to turn it on for the whole site, I.E. might scare them away when it says the certificate can't be verified... Thanks guys! Rodman End original message. - Yes, you can secure any portion of a site, there is no need to do the whole thing. Also, there are affordable certificates available. I paid $35 for one from GoDaddy for a web ticketing system I did for a non-profit event. VeriSign and their ridiculously inflated pricing is not the only option.

This is getting a bit out of Apache territory and really ought to be
asked on a cPanel forum but I will take a shot at it...
I know this is possible on Plesk (another control panel similar to
cPanel). The way they do it is to have separate configuration files
to handle each of the virtual host domains. You can pretty much do
anything you want in those domain specific files.
It would surprise me if cPanel doesn't support a similar scheme. Dig
into your cPanel documentation and see what they have to say about
virtual host configuration.

Now I am no Apache guru by any means so I may be a bit off-base here...
Settings redefined later in teh configuration override those set
earlier. You would define the default server pages first (which is
probably already done in your httpd.conf file). Then you would see if
the file you are looking for exists in each user directory. Using the
DirectoryMatch directive and a regular expression to match each one
keeps you from having to configure this for every user.
If you wanted to get really sophisticated about it, you could make
the regular expression a lot more complex to match a variety of
potential patterns and use a FilesMatch directive with a regular
expression to allow alternative file extensions or filenames for the
error documents too.
Just doing a simple version without all the extra stuff, I think you
could probably do it with something like this (if somebody else has a
better idea, feel free to hack my stuff apart):
# Add an ErrorDocument directive for each error you wish to support
# Use default to get Apache's default error page or specify a server-wide
# error document for each error type
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
# Now override the defined error page for each user directory if
# there is a file defined with a matching name. You will have to
# enforce the file naming convention for this to work and the error
# documents must live in the root of each of the user directories
# Add a section for each error type
ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mod RewriteRule Help : Accepting Variable Number Of Arguments
Kristopher Yates did speak thusly: Hello, Here is an example URL I'm trying to create a RewriteRule for: index.php?section=help&page=test&mode=IN&item=4&action=edit I have a rule that works when the request URL contains the appropriate number of arguments but does not work when there are fewer arguments than the Rule expects. I thought by creating multiple (similar) rules would resolve but no luck. Here is what I have that works as long as I pass all required arguments: RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 The above rule correctly passes http://domain.com/help/test/IN/4/edit to my script as /index.php?section=help&page=test&mode=IN&item=4&action=edit . I tried creating 5 rules so that, if Apache saw fewer arguments, it would go down to the next rule but that didnt work like I thought it would: RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4 RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3 RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?section=$1 How do I write the rule(s) so that, if fewer arguments are passed, it will still work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. End original message. - OK, I will take a shot at this... though I am not very experienced with mod_rewrite, I do know fair amount about regular expressions. mod_rewrite documentation is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html First off, from the documentation of mod_rewrite, the rules are applied in order as defined so they should fall through from one to the next if a higher one does not apply. So it seems like your scheme should work, why it doesn't is unknown to me. I am not sure about this but you might want to try reversing the order of your tests, do the smallest number of arguments first. I think you probably ought to also use the last flag on each rule too so it does not skip to the next if it matches. (Now that I think about it, this may well be the problem here). One thing you probably ought to account for is that you are making a big assumption in your RE here. That assumption is that there will never be a trailing slash on any of the URLs, this may not be a valid assumption. To fix that you need to make a change to each RE prior to the end of line anchor to indicate either 0 or 1 slashes may exist. For example: RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1 This rule would match both of these: http://domain.com/help http://domain.com/help/ So here is how I suggest you try the rules: RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 [L] Let me know if this helps.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] A reverse proxy question
Before asking my question, I need to explain a little about what I am trying to do. I have a reverse proxy set up in Apache 2.0.54 using the instructions detailed in http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies It works great for the most part but I have one little thing that causes me some problems in the Rails application I am proxying. The problem revolves around some internal redirects the application does that I am currently "fixing" by hard coding the URL as seen from the outside world into the application where it does these page redirects. This is not an ideal solution as it breaks things if I access the application directly instead of through the proxy. What I want to be able to do is to inform the application that it is being accessed through the proxy so it can programmatically determine the correct redirect URL regardless of how it is being accessed. Essentially what I want to do is somehow pass the actual request URL through the proxy to the application so it can dynamically fix the URL to access the correct page. So my question is this, is there some (easy?) way through either HTTP headers or some other mechanism that I can inform the application that it is being accessed through the proxy?

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A reverse proxy question
Joshua Slive wrote: First question: Why aren't you just letting ProxyPassReverse do its job? It should be able to handle rewriting of redirects. That is the crux of the problem. I am not sure if I can explain this correctly but it appears that the application is doing something internally that hijacks the normal HTTP redirect flow so the normal mechanism works fine for almost everything except a few cases. I really don't know how to capture the actual headers so I can tell you exactly what is happening here when it does not work. On the application side, I can get to the method calls that force the redirects and add the correct path to them. I have not gotten into the internals of these methods and don't want to go rewriting libraries to "fix" the problem. This is a special case which has come about because I can't get Ruby and Rails to serve properly via Apache directly on a Plesk based machine. (I posted about that a couple of months ago and never found a resolution to the premature end of script headers problems I was seeing). I ended up having to run an instance of lighttpd on another port and then proxy to it to make the application work at all. So because I can't get the application running directly under Apache, I am forced to kludge together something that works but has a few quirks that need a bit of help to get around. Anyway, if you want the origin server to know that stuff went through the proxy, there are lots of clues in the request headers by default. Take a look at X-Forwarded-For, etc. Or you can always add your own header: RequestHeader Set X-Went-Through-Proxy Yes OK, will do. Now I have to figure out how to retrieve those headers in a Ruby application.

Change the service properties from automatic to manual and then start it from the service window after you are sure the network is functioning.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Deny CONNECT & GET http requests
want? Need expert review. End original message. - Actually, I think you need to fix the underlying problem. This looks to me like there is (or was) an open proxy on the machine that is being used by third parties to anonymize their web access. Open proxies are BAD, almost as bad as open mail relays. A proxy should point to a specific resource and allow access only to that resource. I would strongly suggest that you check this first before making any other changes. The GET request is not something you want to disable blindly as that is how a browser retrieves a page (or image, or file etc.) in the first place. If you have the ProxyRequests On directive followed by a proxy block starting with and you have not restricted access in that block, you have an open proxy. Once you close the hole on your proxy (if there is one), then you will only see 404 responses for requests that reference URLs outside of your server domain. This will gradually taper off over a period of time as the people trying to use your box to access pages not on your server figure out that the gate is closed. That can take a long time to happen but at least you will have taken the first step to alleviating the problem. As far as how you are trying to block these things... I don't think that would work, but I can't say for sure as I only dabble in this on the side. And if anyone is wondering... I got bit by this and accidentally configured an open proxy because I really didn't understand exactly what I was doing at the time and didn't read everything I needed to read before I started mucking about with it. Moral of the story here is read the fine manual and understand it before you end up like me with a server that was overloaded to the breaking point by unscrupulous people.

When used like this it will create a pool of child processes or threads to handle requests. In general, httpd should not be invoked directly, but rather should be invoked via apachectl on Unix-based sys- tems or as a service on Windows NT, 2000 and XP and as a console application on Windows 9x and ME. How are you starting Apache? Are you using the startup script apachectl or are you starting it directly? Most *nix type OS distributions also have a startup script that is run at system boot to invoke httpd which generally does some house keeping stuff and then invokes apachectl. You may have to use a utility like checkcfg on Red Hat systems or your system's equivalent to enable the startup on boot.

The catch is, the application should connect to a user specific backend database based on who's logging in. My thoughts are the following: URL name will be something like: http://application.example.com/user (One DocumentRoot and the application's config file, config.php for argument sake, will reside here.) Would my best bet be to use mod_env and SetEnv to grab the /(user) portion of the URL and then stick to my script specific engine to direct them to the user specific config file, based somewhere else on the filesystem? (At this point, it's not Apache's responsibility, it's at the application layer.) Also, how about handling for URLs where a /user does not exist. Such as http://application.example.com/joebob (user joebob doesn't exist, I wish to redirect them), I'm assuming that's also best to do from an application level?

While a typical Rails app is tied to a single database, there is no reason why you can't connect to multiple database instances if they all share a common structure. If you went this way, I would suggest using Apache as a proxy or load balancer only and actually serving the Rails application via Lighttpd or Mongrel. I highly recommend looking into it. A few months ago, I was convinced the hype over this framework was just that but I have to say that after having learned it and begun using it on a non-trivial project, it is a very powerful environment with a lot of good features.

Microsoft no longer supports it and most software vendors (and open source projects) stopped developing for it a long time ago. Upgrade your OS. If you want to stick with Windows, update to at least Windows XP, Vista would be better if your hardware can support it. Both of those versions are still supported by Microsoft with security and bug fixes and both are supported by the majority of software vendors if they are doing Windows development.

That is solely a python error. Your python script is not properly
formatted. In python, white space is significant and code blocks are
defined by the indentation. BTW, you read the trace back in reverse
order the last thing listed is the cause of the error, the rest is
just a trace of the calling stack.
You cannot have any indentation on line 1 of your script as that is
the top level of coade and must have zero indentation until you enter
a new code block with a different execution scope.
Anyway, this is not an Apache issue any longer, you should read up on
python and its syntactical requirements to fix the problem you have now.

You can use cgi scripts, ASP, tomcat with java, or ... Make a script or a page which will do two things. First, validate the user, check that they are logged in payed, etc. Second, parses a parameter to allow the image to be displayed on the page. Say, for example, the url is "www.domain.com/show_picture.cgi?id=sunset.jpg" show_picture.cgi will first check that the user exists, if so, will display sunset.jpg (from whatever folder sunset.jpg is in). Now, you do raise a point, a user could view the source and see the exact location of sunset.jpg. Well, there are a few other possibilities. You don't need your pictures to be in a "images" directory, it can be called anything you want. You could put it under "www.domain.com/sept_2007/another_sud_directory/123654123654/here" Once a user has viewed a picture, the server in the background can move it to a new location. For this, you may want to keep a database of where the pictures are located. Another thing you could to is only display your photos through an embedded object. For example, make little flash files out of your pictures. Have the flash program check that you are logged in, etc. Then you wouldn't need to move them around, or do anything else. Sincerely, -Rachel PS. This is my initial impression, there are probably many other ways to do what you want, but you will need the help of a programed application to do so. End original message. - Actually, this is almost right but not quite. If you want the files served securely, they should NOT be located anywhere within the document root tree. The script itself would retrieve the file from where it lives outside the server root and forward it to the browser. The URL for the image would be a call to the CGI script and not a direct link to the image itself. CGI is not limited to serving HTML, you can serve any file type you want by providing the appropriate content type and disposition headers. For instance, in one of the applications I am working on, there is an option for a logged-in user with appropriate privileges to access a PDF file. This file is generated on the fly from the database and it never resides as an actual file on the file system. You can do the same thing with images. They can be stored in a database or anywhere on the file system and served solely by the application script. In short, the application script acts as a proxy to Apache to serve the content. Apache simply invokes the script under the CGI mechanism and then "gets out of the way" while the script does what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately, this is no longer really a discussion about Apache and is thus drifting off topic. There are many good books and tutorials out there on how to write web applications. Those resources are a better place to turn at this time than this list.

I heard if you have three sites usign the same SSL port it could really slow down performance as compared to putting those sites on separate ports for SSL. Should not each site have it's own port for SSL? End original message. - Where did you hear that? What is true is that you cannot do name-based virtual hosts on the same IP address with multiple domain names and have that work correctly (that subject comes up here all the time). Basically, you have to use a separate IP address for each domain name so that SSL negotiation serves the correct certificate for the domain. This is a limitation of the protocol that establishes SSL connections and there is really no legitimate way around how it works. (There is a way to "cheat" and use "wild card certificates" but that is considered bad practice and should not be done). All of these IP addresses can and should run on port 443 for SSL unless you have another compelling reason to do something different. Each of these instances will be separate ports because each IP address has its own set of ports that are not shared. In other words, port 443 on IP 192.168.1.100 is not the same as port 443 on IP 10.3.67.24 Perhaps the requirement for a unique IP address is the source of the confusion?

Hello,
I am struggling with an issue and I have the following set up that
reproduces the problem.
I am running apache 2.2 on Centos 5.0.
On the client side, I have a web page that polls the server every
second. Using prototypejs, it looks like that:
setInterval('polling();', 1000);
function polling()
{
new Ajax.Request
( 'polling_server.php',
{ onSuccess: function(transport)
{
}
}
);
}
the polling_server.php does nothing:
Most queries takes around 100-150 ms for a round trip (measured using firebug)
Sooner or later though, one of those requests will take a lof of
time and will timeout after 74000ms.
Also, there are sequences of requests that take a lot of time (5,
10 seconds sometimes more) and then the system gets back to the normal 100ms.
it looks like a jam. I'd like to understand why this is happening so
that I can fix it. How could I explore the issue further?
Where does the 74000ms come from? Is it something I can change in apache?
End original message. -
It is very doubtful that this is an issue with the Apache httpd if
you are using one of the MPM models and have it configured with
enough workers to handle the load.
However, you really have not given us enough information to even make
an informed guess. Is there anything in your error or access logs
indicating a problem (adjust the debug level of your error log if
needed to get more detail)? What exactly is your architecture? Are
you generating dynamic content in a CGI application or back-end
server process? If so, is that running on the same machine or
another? How much RAM do you have? How is Apache MPM configured?
I would suggest (with lack of further information) that it is most
likely that network congestion is the problem or possibly something
else in the system is resource limited a back-end server application
perhaps? Possibly another server process such as an MTA hogging
resources? Not enough RAM causing swap space to be heavily utilized?
Also, you must understand that the Internet as it exists today is a
"best effort delivery system". This means that there is absolutely
zero guarantee that traffic you send will ever be received by the
other end or that there will be any sort of deterministic latency to
the system. You cannot assume that the round-trip time for a request
to be served will remain in the 100-150 mS window in a production
environment with access from the public Internet. There are far too
many random factors regarding routing, traffic bandwidth and other
things to be sure that your application is going to reliably serve
within a certain time window to all possible users.
Even on a LAN with a lightly loaded machine, other network traffic
can affect your round-trip times. The only way you can ever be
certain of this is in a trivial test application with two dedicated
machines that has no real resemblance to a production environment.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] problem with posted data in UTF-8 and reverse proxy
Scott Douglass did speak thusly: Hi, Please excuse the Tomcat references below, my question is actually about the HTTPD reverse proxy feature. I have a web app that, when viewed by hitting the Tomcat 6.0.14 server it runs on handles the input of multi-byte characters using the UTF-8 encoding. The application is a web mail client, and it uses HTTP POST to send the fields of the message composer window to the server. When I put this exact same tomcat/webapp behind the HTTPD 2.2.6 reverse proxy, the Chinese characters POST'd via the composer window gets some other encoding than UTF-8. The end result is that when the user views the result (say they send the mail message to themselves) the Chinese characters are not decoded correctly. For example, I type this into a textarea for the body of the message in the composing form: ä½ å¥½ åå åæ When I post this directly to tomcat/webapp, I see it again when I recieve the e-mail a few seconds later (Tomcat has a /* servlet filter that forces UTF-8 encoding on all request and response parameters, also all JSPs have <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>, and also and tomcat container definition has URIEncoding="UTF-8"...) When I post through the HTTPD 2.2.6 reverse proxy, the end result appears like: ä½ 好 Ã¥âÃ¥â Ã¥Ââæ â¡ I've tried as many work arounds as I could search/find/think of including: AddDefaultCharset none vs. AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Neither of these solves the problem. Has anyone ever encountered this before? I am happy with the HTTPD as a reverse proxy other than this encoding issue, and I'm using HTTPD for a bunch of other functions as well (WebDAV, virtual hosting, subversion repository, etc.) So, I prefer to solve this reverse proxy problem rather than use some other proxy server.
