I've developed a website in cakephp and it is running successfully in localhost of my windows operating system.Now i need to make it run on Linus static IP server.I also need to know that what are all the softwares needed to install and implementation procedures to upload it and where to upload it.Any help would be greatly appreciate.
You have to research a bit more on the net, there's plenty of answers guiding you how to do it. Stackoverflow is more pertaining to specific coding questions. I personally prefer using amazon ec2 for uploading my cakephp applications.
There's lots of tutorials on how to set up a free tier linux server instance on ec2 all over the net. Here's a great one:
http://www.comtechies.com/2013/01/how-to-host-dynamic-php-website-on.html
Once you have your instance set up, this is what you have to do:
In apache your public folder will be /var/www/ so anything you put in there will be directly accessible to people by URL. Use putty to connect to your server.
sudo service apache2 stop
This will stop your apache server for security reasons while you upload etc.
Copy your project to /var/www/cakephp such that your webroot lies in /var/www/cakephp/app/webroot.
type the following to describe location of cakePHP
nano /var/www/cakePHP/app/webroot/index.php
Go to the line starting with define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH' and make it define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . cakephp . DS . lib') - assuming cakephp/lib is to be found in /var/www/cakephp/lib
Next, set the new document root:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
and wherever you see /var/www change it to /var/www/cakephp/app/webroot.
Also, in the change allowoverride none to allowoverride all the first two times they occur from the top of the document.
To allow apache to access your files and write to cache, execute the following commands:
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/myproject -R
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/myproject/tmp -R
To allow CSS to be applied properly:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart apache:
sudo service apache2 start
Now everything should be working according to plan. If you have any further questions do hit me back!

So I switched to Fedora and wanted to install LAMP on it. So I followed this article: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-lamp-stack-on-fedora/. Everything has been installed successfully. Afterward, I wanted to change the default root directory. In order to achieve it, I edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and have set:
DocumentRoot "/home/muq/Localhost"
User muq
Group muq
<Directory "/home/muq/Localhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
And now I am getting the error: 503 Service Unavailable.
If I change User and Group to default (apache) the error I get is: 403 Forbidden.
Previously I was doing the same thing with Apache on PopOS and it was working fine.
Thank you all in advance!
Did you follow the step in the article which says to set SELinux to permissive? My guess is that you didn't, and that's what's happening: SELinux is preventing user home directory files from being served out by the web server.
You could just follow the advice in the article and just turn it off. But, I strongly recommend that you don't. The thing it's protecting you from here is a reasonable one — a misconfiguration could otherwise very easily expose personal user files to the internet. And here's the key thing: fixing this is really easy! At least as easy as the instructions for disabling SELinux in the article! You just need to do:
sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /home/muq/Localhost
to label that directory as one from which you want to serve httpd content. And that should do it — and still give you all the other protection of SELinux.
(You could also consider a location like /srv/www or /var/www/html as your web root, keeping your home directory out of the whole thing. These are parts of the filesystem designated for that, and to me as a former sysadmin seems cleaner. But the choice is yours.)
I have my raspberry pi setup as an internal web server. I have an external hard drive connected to the pi and mounted correctly.
I then symlink two folders from the hard drive to the web root on the pi, one is /Movies, and the other is /Series.
Initially this all works fine, as in if I hit http://192.168.1.17/Movies I get a list of all the files, I then click one and it starts playing no problem. However, after leaving it for a while and coming back, I can still get to the file directory in /Movies or /Series, but when I click a file, the web browser cannot open it.
I have no idea what's going on, it seems weird that I can still access the file directory, but playing a file doesn't work?
Any thoughts or help appreciated.
Are you using an apache server?
If so Symlinking is not a good idea.
An alternative which is more secure and may fix your problem is to install Userdir
sudo a2enmod userdir
Then you need to make a directory in home
mkdir public_html
Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart
If you want to change the home directory apache points to you can do so in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf .Then change the <Directory /home/*/public_html> to the directory you want.
To access you're server simply enter ip_of_Rpi/~pi_username. e.g 192.168.0.100/~pi
more details here: http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2012/10/how-to-enable-and-configure-apache2-userdir-module-in-ubuntu-server-12-04.html
If you are using Apache web server, you can use mod_alias to map some directory in a URL path like this
Alias /mnt/external_disk01/movies /Movies
Alias /mnt/external_disk02/series /Series
Before use alias, make sure it is activated.
To activate:
a2enmod alias

I need to setup http live streaming in centOS , Please any one help in this with step by step configuration ?
I did lot of go-ogling but i dint find the proper solution . Every one tell about using ff mpeg we can achieve this . But not proper procedure.
you need to install a webserver with webdav support.apache with webdav modules activated will do it. the webdav_fs module expands the apache with user rights to write on a predefined directory.so, you create this directory first (eg /opt/webdav/hls/path2stream) and chmod and chown this directory to eg user and group "apache".then, you will have to edit httpd.conf to edit the server name according to the uname convention.finally, you can log the PUT commands by the encoder and the GET commands from the player in the apache log directory (/var/log/httpd/..access_log.

I can't workout how to solve this problem so wordpress would let me upload themes.
I have a fresh copy of Fedora 17 installed on my dev machine.
I then installed mysql using: yum install mysql mysql-server. Next I installed WordPress which also installs apache and php: yum install wordpress
I can go to http://localhost/wordpress and see WordPress working. But when I try tried to install my theme it asked for ftp credentials. I then updated the wp-config.php file and set the FS_METHOD constant to direct. Now it doesn't ask for ftp credentials but it gives me this error:
Could not create directory. /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/my-theme-name/
httpd service is running under 'apache' user and 'apache' group. The /usr/share/wordpress/ directory is recursively own by 'apache' user and 'apache' group too. I've even set the permissions to 777 (also recursively) and even then I keep getting the same error as above.
How can I solve this problem?
Fedoras SELinux configuration is most probably blocking the attempts of the webserver to write to the disk. To change the settings for your wordpress folder you can run this command (as root):
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content
No need to do chmod 777 to the whole folder, this is a huge security risk. Of course this is for direct filesystem access, you have to disable the ftp access. For ftp access you will have to look up the right SELinux context.
You got the check these lines in your Wp-config.php (aproximatively line 105) :
define('FTP_USER', 'usr');
define('FTP_PASS', 'P#ssw0rd');
define('FTP_HOST', 'url');
You process of web server is running on apache but Wordpress will use the account define in the wp-config.php . So you got to set the group of your user to get access to these files.
Setting permissions 777 is not a solution, you got to care about it.
Simple question, but for some reason I couldn't find the exact answer on Google:
I have a fresh Ubuntu install on Slicehost, and would like to make a public directory in my home dir for a simple website containing a bunch of static HTML files. How do I do this? Is it just a matter of typing mkdir public_html and setting the permissions, or is there a cleaner way? (I remember in the past I've had issues where every time I copied a file into my public_html directory, I would have to manually set its permissions, which was quite frustrating.)
Assuming you've already installed apache, do the following:
sudo a2enmod userdir
sudo service apache2 reload
The first command enables the userdir apache mod, which does exactly what you want. The second reloads apache configurations so that it starts using the new configuration.
To install apache2:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Of course, you'll also need to make sure that the permissions on your public_html folder allow the www-data user to see the files in there -- 755 usually works well. To do this:
mkdir ~/public_html
chmod -R 755 ~/public_html
This will recursively (-R) go through your public_html and set the permissions to 755 (owner rwx, and both group and other r-x, r-x).
The other answers are on the right track with mod_userdir, but using that will give your website the base URL http://www.yourdomain.com/~username/ - for instance, a file /home/username/public_html/index.html would be accessible as http://www.yourdomain.com/~username/index.html. If you want your files to be accessible under the domain root, as http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html for example, then you'll need to put the directive
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
in the Apache configuration file.
You need to use mod_userdir for Apache, otherwise you need to set up symlinks from /var/www/ or wherever.
Your permissions issue is because Apache does not have read access to your files. You need to allow read access to www-data (or whatever the user is; distro-specific).
