I've installed Alfresco CE in a Windows 7 machine (which is not ideal, but I have to deal with it). I can access my Alfresco share from inside the network:
192.168.2.252:8080/share
As far as I know, I can access it from outside the network using a dns service like no-ip.org, which gives me something like:
example.no-ip.org:8080/share
What I'm trying to do is to get something like:
mycustomdomain.com/share/ (removing the /share/ would be great too)
I've been reading a lot, but I'm not sure what to do. I read something about setting up DNS on my machine, but I don't know how to point the domain to the Alfresco share. Any suggestions?
Ip which you have shared is internal IP.You need to have one external IP.Which can be accessed outside network.
Below file will help you in URL redirection.If you want to remove share , you may also do that by configuration in below file.
tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\urlrewrite.xml

This is a tough one to explain, but I have a requirement where a file on my web server needs to be accessed as such
http://www.something.com?param=value
I am just using Apache2 hosted on a Linux box and need to access a file on my server from another machine on the same LAN. So technically it'd be something like
http://ipaddr?param=value
I can't figure how to get this working or how to search for this online. I tried naming my script as "index.php" in the hopes that this might work but even then it needs something like http://ipaddr/index.php?param=value.
What do you call whatever is happening here and is there a way to do it?
For the context : I'm a student and I must do a project with some other people of my class. My role is to prepare them a web server that each one can use and access from anywhere. I plan to host everything on a dedicated server that I already have to avoid additional cost and give to each people a subdomain that will be redirected with VirtualHosts. They will be able to send files to the server with a SFTP server (openssh), they will get an account per person and it will be chrooted to their virtualhost directory.
My main problem : Will this be secure ? I mean, if one of the user set an easy password or just do anything risky, can someone access the other's people virtualhost or even the host dedicated machine ? I already thought about .htaccess and they will be deactivated. Is there another way to get out of an apache virtualhost ?
Things to note : they will have apache, php and an access to a mysql (or maybe mariadb, I don't know for now) database. So, they may be able to upload some old, unsecure code. Some of these users are not very educated to cybersecurity.
The server is a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Thanks for the advices,
If you limit their access to only their own home directory, that's a good start.
A good layer of security would also be to implement 2FA, check out Duo Mobile, you can implement it for SSH logins (or need more details, eg. what options do they have to login into the server?)
If the users are not very educated in cybersecurity as you mentioned, it will be difficult for them to escape the virtual host they have access to.
Although i need more details such as each virtual host will have a separate database or it will be talking to a central database? also, for a paranoid measure, consider where the server is hosted. There are lots of variables that can be affirmed from what you described, but it is best to keep the server on its own network with nothing critical in the same subnet. Just in case.
I have developed an intranet site using nodeJS and it is running successfully on one of the Windows servers in our office and am now ready to deploy.
At the moment the only route to access is ip:port (192.168.1.88:8888 for example)
I would like for the local users on the network to just type 'intranet' into their browsers and be forwarded to this location. I have tried modifying the system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (with 127.0.0.1 intranet), but it 404'd, telling me that index was not found, so maybe it's trying to serve the application statically with a different web server (IIS is installed on the machine, although it's not running?)
Is there any way to achieve this "shortcut" at network level? It must also work for external visitors to the site so I've ruled out any local solutions.
I am aware that this information already exists online, however I find it is above my knowledge level as a humble javascript developer and seems to strafe into network administration territory. I wonder if anybody could provide a lay mans write up.
I currently have one .local address (Bonjour) pointing to my mac in my intranet, mbp.local, configured in system preferences with the computer name. I use this to send my boss links to demos on my local server (he sits in a chair behind me : >).
I'd like to be able to create new .local addresses to send different demos to my boss (demo1.local, demo2.local, etc) so that I can switch to different working copies to do other work while the demos are still live.
I'd know how to setup Apache to route these requests to the right places, but am unsure if it's possible to make new addresses that point to my mac (I think this has to do with multicasting?).
I have a dynamic IP in my intranet but would be able to setup a static IP if required.
Are you talking about web site demos? I'm not sure I understand the problem. If they're web sites, I'm sure you already know you can simply use a single address with different urls, eg, http://mbp.local/demo1, http://mbp.local/demo2, etc. If it is something else entirely, you can use the Mac's local host file to point multiple fqdns to a single IP address on your local network, but it would be best to have a static IP. Alternatively, you could edit your DNS or WINS server to do the address translation.
I haven't done this myself, but I wonder if you could use what's documented here to start. The difference would be that you'll send your boss links to http://demo1.mbp.local and so on.
I found more about this on this thread on SuperUser.
Here is VDS server with ip(for example 105.123.123.123) with working apache service.
And there is a desktop computer with linux on board(but really I presume there is no difference). I need to type on web browser address like someaddress.com and to see website situated at my server.
My /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
105.123.123.123 someaddress.com
105.123.123.123 www.someaddress.com
But it doesn't work. I see real someaddress.com website. What can be wrong. It will be great if you help me with that.
P.S. Why I need this. There is one project with fixed links(like someaddress.com/inf). And I need to test it.
Maybe your distribution is preferring DNS over values in /etc/hosts.
Check /etc/nsswitch.conf. It should have a hosts line something like:
hosts: files dns
Just make sure files comes before dns.
