Subject: [NEWB] Apache /~user/public_html dir permissions setup
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 15:16:34 -0800
I am searching for clues for setting up the ~user/public_html permissions
under Apache. I have VirtualHosting working fine, but need a catch-all
solution for general users' space.
Does the /home/<user>/public_html dir require special user or group rights?
Does it require anything more than uncommenting the example section in the
httpd.conf?
I'm running Apache 1.3.4 on RH 5.2 (2.0.36) If anyone has a pointer to a
newsgroup or web-resource that goes more into examples than into
fragment-definitions (ie. not the Apache docs themselves) I'd really
appreciate hearing about it.

Office Max here sells the 10/100 LinkSys EtherFast card for
$30. CompUSA has an 8 port dual 10/100 sensing hub from LinkSys
for $200. I've seen it for $150 mailorder. A 4 port 100mbit only
hub is less than $100.
I don't get blazing speeds on my home network -- 3-4 megabytes
/second from one host to another, but it's a factor of 5-10
better than what I got with 10megabit ethernet.

As you've found out, sendmail is not a trivial program to configure. There
is a huge book from O'Reilly & Sons on sendmail. But if all you want to do
is use sendmail to send your email to your one ISP's smtp server, edit the
file called /etc/sendmail.cf and look for the lines:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS
Right after the DS (use no spaces), put in your ISP's smtp server name, as
in:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsmtp.myisp.com
I'm assuming here that your /etc/resolv.conf file is set up correctly,
pointing to your ISP's name servers. If not, edit it too.
Next, make sure you have your outgoing domain name set properly. This has
nothing to do with your localhost name. Further up in /etc/sendmail.cf file,
you'll find:
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Uncomment the line and replace the bogus name there with your ISP's domain
name. This way, sendmail will make sure to append this to all outgoing
email, rather than pick up your probably bogus localhost name.
To make sure that your To: name (the username before the @myisp.com) is set
up right as well, create a user account on your machine with a username
identical to the one you use from your ISP (such as user 'bogus' on your
linux box, when your isp has given you the email name '[EMAIL PROTECTED]').
Then use that account to do your mail. sendmail will then put your username
in the To: line and add your real domain name to the rest of the string,
rather than pick up your localhost name.
For getting mail from your ISP's pop3 server, use fetchmail. Type 'man
fetchmail' for details on how to set it up.
To test how the email is coming through, just send yourself some email. It
will go out to your ISP's smtp server, and get handed off to your ISP's pop3
server, ready for pickup. When you use fetchmail to pick it up from your
ISP, you can inspect the header to make sure everything looks okay. Once it
is, then you're ready to run with the big dogs.

I've got the same card running on a RH5.0 installation and it's just fine.
One thing that made it easier was to turn off the plug and pray in the card
config software first.
Secondly, it wasn't recognized as the correct model in the RH installation
software and even the drivers that came with RH by default. I was able to
get it to load by using one of the other Intel card configurations (I
believe that it was the eepro100). Kinda weird I know, but it's working just
fine.

It's not clear whether you have a Linux firewall box yet, so I'll
respond on the basis that you don't. With that many clients, I'll also
assume you have or will get ADSL or a cablemodem such that your Internet
access provider gives you an ethernet port.
Configuring the firewall itself will be the hard part, but IP Masquerading
is also just about the coolest part.
Step One: Install Linux (I'd suggest Red Hat 5.2 because I like RPM,
but anything current is fine) on a PC with two network cards. A 486
with 16MB of RAM and less than a gig of disk will work fine, but you'll
like the software tools better if you use a midrange Pentium box with
at least 32BM RAM and a bit of disk.
Step Two: Install and set up dhcpcd, the DHCP client package. This will
get you an IP address from your access provider. You may be able to
skip this if they'll assign you a static address. The Red Hat "netcfg"
program will make the necessary changes to make your system a DHCP
client by just selecting it for the appropriate interface. Make sure
you specify the network interface that talks to your access provider!
Step Three: Install and set up dhcpd, the DHCP server package.
Its own documentation is reasonably clear. Have it assign a range of
unrouteable IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.0 to your client systems.
You can also point to your new DHCP server system as a name server,
since at least a cacheing nameserver should have been installed with
the Linux distribution. Make sure you specify the network interface
that talks to your local network!
There seems to be a fair illustration of a DHCP setup at
http://www.digex.net/bic/whitepapers/ipspace.html
Step Four: Configure your client systems to use DHCP and away you go!

If you insist on mucking up an already wonderful setup, you can get the
frontpage extensions for linux from Micro$haft's website. Don't know about
ASP though; I personally wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10-foot keyboard,
way too immature and dangerous for production use.
>Also what is a decent database to use for dynamic web content?

PhP is one of the many languages that you can use to let the web browser
"talk" to a database server. You would generally include PhP code in your
html pages (or replace them completely with phtml pages) to do queries,
insert, delete, etc. You could also use DBI and perl, or perhaps Python. Or
you can compile Java or C/C++ to do the job. Use whichever language and
method you're most comfortable with.
For a "free" and relatively easy-to-program solution, try using mySQL
(http://www.tcx.se/) and PhP (http://www.php.net/). Or, if you have money to
burn, you can go for the big boys like Sybase, Oracle, InterBase or DB2, who
all have Linux ports of their database servers out now.

I suppose I can't talk you out of using frontpage, eh? Oh, well. Then you
must go to Micro$haft's website and download the frontpage extensions for
linux, and install them. Then, provided everything went okay, you can start
using your Win9x copy of frontpage to talk to the site.

The default page for unmodified Apache has to be index.html, not index.htm.
If you want it to look for index.htm as well, you have to modify srm.conf.

Hi,
I have this working with Linux 2.0.36, ipfwadm and ipautofw (I haven't
yet upgraded to 2.2 and ipchains so I don't know what the differences
might be).
This is an excerpt from my rc script for setting up the firewall. The
first ipautofw line works fine if I start the game or if there are only
two people in the game. I haven't recently been in a game with 3 or
more players, which I didn't start, to try the last two ipautofw lines.
Also I was having a problem with my modem and ISP fighting and I was
lagging.
Oh yea, they changed the protocol for version 1.06 or 1.07 and this only
applies to the newer protocols. For versions prior to the change (sorry
I don't know which versions they are) there are also ports 116 and 118
to contend with. I installed my Linux router after this change so I
don't know how to make it work.

Hi,

Now that I think about it, the other day I was mounting an nfs mount
exported by a Linux box running 2.0.35, on another box running 2.2.1. It
complained all the time about lockd, so it would appear to me that 2.2.1
supports it, but 2.0.35 doesnt. I might be wrong here, I haven't got all
that much experience in NFS anyway, but when I read your message I
remembered and it makes sense to me.

I could have sworn I had this working once. But for the life of me I can't remember

that muddled my brain.
does RH5.1 include a pop mail daemon? I can't seem to find a reference for it anyplace
and my memory just isnt' clear from when I had originally set up RH5.0 or maybe 5.1
back in October 98.
If it isn't on there I must have downloaded something from someplace.

Count it as valid. This IP address was responsible for an attempt an
overflowing my NFS buffers shortly after midnight my time (US/Mountain).
This network appears to be in Taiwan. Of course he failed, and his/her
