I have an Ubuntu VirtualBox that's setup by Vagrant. Its running NGINX to serve some static files and a Django app.
I have the source folder synced via vagrant to the repo in my host (windows). I can make changes to a Javascript file in Windows and verify that the changes are made to my file in the VM by SSH'ing in and opening the file in nano.
However, when I make the changes remotely, NGINX seems to serve up the unchanged version with "illegal" characters added to the end (which really freaks out browsers). I get the same file when I CURL localhost while ssh'd into the vm. EDIT It actually does the same thing when I edit the file via SSH
I can reload the vm via vagrant (which re-syncs the folders) and it works fine until the next remote change.
Restarting nginx and gunicorn doesn't help.
Does vagrant lock the files so that nginx has to rely on a cache? What might be going on here?
Thanks!
Apparently my coworker has better Google-foo than I.
This is apparently a known issue with virtualbox and nginx that has to do with the nginx's sendfile. You can simply add "sendfile off;" in either your server or location blocks in the nginx config. Here's a blogpost about it: nginx virtualbox static files

I hope that I will not waste everyone's time, nor embarrass myself, but please hear/read my problem. I am new to this, so please bear with me.
Someone at work wrote a crude code in Node.js and I can see the .html files by having localhost: 8080 as the URL in the browser, while having the VisualStudio starting the npm with npm start command. Am I explaining this clear enough?
The webpages are displayed and all, but now comes the hurdle.
How can i have those pages served from a a Linux server?
If by analogy, I put some.html page inside the /var/www/ in a Apache server, pointing to the server's IP/somepage.html i can visualise it, what needs to be set up on a similar Node.js server?
Where do I have to put those files, inside what directory and what configuration is needed?
I thought to create a small LXC container and have those files and services saved as a template, but first I need to set this up correctly. Can Apache serve those files, do I have to make another configuration first?
I have those files served from a Windows machine from local host, and put the same files in a /node ,/opt/ www directory in a Linux machine, but no dice.
Background: My PHP projects (CakePHP, Wordpress) run on an Ubuntu server in my network, I access them through a development TLD (.dev for example) setup through a local DNS server and I edit the files through a Samba share.
I would like to utilize Livereload for my development, preferably have it running on the server itself. I have basic Node/Gulp knowledge, but haven't been able to get this running.
Livereload (or a middleware server) should proxy the 'real' URLs, making sure all websites run as they would normally and Livereload should be available over the network (so not just localhost, because that runs on the development server)
Desired result:
Livereload runs on my dev server (IP: 10.0.0.1), my project is called helloworld.dev, I browse to 10.0.0.1:3000 on my machine and see helloworld.dev proxied through Livereload. I now edit a CSS file over the Samba share and the CSS is reloaded without a refresh.
I've tried using a few NPM packages, gulp-livereload, livereload, node-livereload, with their provided examples that come with the packages, but haven't been able to get the desired result. They all expect you to run in locally, don't support access to the Livereload URL over the network, cannot proxy the 'real' URLs or require static content.
Can anyone provide an example or 'proof of concept' code of my wish, so I can see where to start?
I found the answer: http://nitoyon.github.io/livereloadx/
This does EXACTLY what I need.
I can run
livereloadx -y http://helloworld.dev -l
open
http://serverip:35729
and I'm ready to roll.
The -y option creates the proxy to the 'real' URL and the -l makes it serve files from local filesystem instead of through its proxy.
Ive got 4 dev VMs for four projects (all VMware Player VMs w/ubuntu 15.04 host) where each is running VNC (ports 5900, 5901, 5902, 5903) respectively.
I downloaded noVNC and saved to /var/www/html (my apache2 server on same host). Based on the ReadMe I then ran on my terminal
./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5900
I received a missing websockify error, so downloaded it and placed it into the util folder. I then ran the same command and it worked! The terminal told me to Navigate to a url and sure enough I could control my VM.
However -- I'm wondering how can I use noVnc to access all 4 VM's? Is there some simple way to extend the port to a range like in iptables or firewalld?
./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5900-5903
Okay, Ill answer for myself here in case it helps someone in the future...
First, create a token file where each line has a nickname, ip address, and port.
I created a file named token.list where each line looks like:
localhostnickname1: localhost:5900
localhostnickname2: localhost:5901
...
Then I use my terminal to go into the websockify folder so I can see the run file. I issue it the command:
./run --web /path/to/noVNC --target-config /path/to/token.list localhost:6080
Finally, I open my web browser and go to :
http://localhost:6080/vnc_auto.html?path=?token=localhostnickname1
Where localhost1 is the nickname of my first server on the first line of token.list
This link was my reference. If you want to serve this outside of localhost -- change the parameter localhost:8060 from localhost to an IP
I have recently installed Gitlab on an internal server (192.168.0.XX). After installation I edit the Gitlab.rb file external_ip: 192.168.0.XX and I run the reconfigure file. However when I go to the address on the server I am not served with the Gitlab page. Am I doing something silly?
Don't be an idiot and have Apache running at the same time...
I have two PC in my network:
1) CentOs
2) Windows 7
I created repository on Linux machine and add some pre-commit hook scripts. Then, I checked out files to working copy directories on both machines. Now, when I make some changes and commit them from linux working copy then pre-commit hooks works as they should. But when I commit my changes from Windows (using Tortoise or command line) commit execute but without any results of working scripts.
I have read, that scripts are lunched on PC that holds repository (correct me if I'm wrong), so it shouldn't be matter of what kind of platform I'm making changes.
So, if any one can explain me why this doesn't work from windows then I would be grateful?
The pre-commit hook is run by the machine that's hosting the server. If you're using the repository with a file:// URL or using svnlook or svnadmin commands then that's always the local machine since there isn't actually a server and the repository is accessed directly.
From the what you're saying it sounds to me like you're putting the repository on a network volume (SMB, NFS, etc) and then using a file:// URL to access it. If you use one of the other access methods then you won't have this problem.
You have 3 options.
svnserve
svnserve is a simple daemon that provides the svn:// access method. It listens on its own network port and talks a protocol that's specific to Subversion.
svnserve over ssh
The svnserve protocol is tunneled over ssh and a svnserve process is started on demand.
Apache HTTP
The mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn modules provide access to Subversion via an Apache httpd server. This uses the DAV and DeltaV protocols over HTTP (optionally with SSL/TLS support).
The SVN Book has a whole section on server setup that covers choosing the server to how to configure it. You probably want to read this before you make a choise and then read the configuration steps for your chosen server.
