There are so many issues in running a shared web server that the default web page falls into insignificance. Users sharing a web server need user space and an apache stanza to point to that web space. Operators of a shared web server have many choices all of them bad. Most of the bad choices involve management of apache, dns, mail, database and choose to do so with a virtual environment. Trying to mitigate the difficulty of managing accounts in a shared environment is a noble and difficult task. Most users of shared servers will have one of more domains they want served. Fail over requires control of DNS. Thus for each user, for each domain, he will need a DNS zone and an apache stanza. I have despaired of any workable solution in providing incoming mail service for those domains and have outsourced all of that to Google. Running a mail server in today's environment is a career not a project. The database issue is most easily handled by creating per user databases in MySQL. Easy to arrange for real users, less so for virtual users. The most nagging consequence is that users will have to leave database passwords lying around in clear text. Without some sort of UID/GID scheme all users have access to each other's passwords. So by all means, a checklist of the work to be done in setting up apache virtual servers would not be a bad thing. Implying that is all that is required would be would be.

[Bug 89364] Re: Apache2 default site contains only the words It works!
Apache.org recommends a more useful text that solves this bug and also gives appropriate guidance to users. The link Owen provided says it perfectly: --Begin quote-- If you have sent us mail because you saw a page saying 'It Worked!' (or something similar indicating that Apache has been installed) on your screen or a Web site you visited, please go back and READ the page. It should explain what is going on. The page is the equivalent of a demo or the ReadMe file from a Windows application installation; it is intended for the person who installed the software and is supposed to show that the installation was completed successfully. The problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with us, and we cannot help you. You need to contact the Webmaster for the site. If the site is www.foo.com, for instance, try sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. If it's www.toddsbeer.org, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. And so on. Some older versions of the 'It Worked!' page (supplied with older versions of the software) don't say that, or are mysterious or ambiguous. What they should say, and what the recent versions say, is something like this! It Worked! The Apache Web Server is Installed on this Web Site! If you can see this page, then the people who own this domain have just installed the Apache Web server software successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content. --- If you are seeing this page instead of the site you expected, please contact the administrator of the site involved. (Try sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED].) Although this site is running the Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to the Apache Group, so please do not send mail about this site or its contents to the Apache authors. If you do, your message will be ignored. --- --End Quote-- This is also a good place to insert some good exposure for Ubuntu by inserting a banner ad linking back to Ubuntu.

Noah, What usually happens is that an ISP sets up a site for a client and loads the default docs. They then tell the client that their site is available. The client goes to their site and sees the apache logo and assumes that ASF has hijacked their site. I was around the last time an irate but technically inept web-user decided Apache had stolen his website and it was not pleasant - he spammed the lists for weeks until we had to get his ISP to unplug him... Before proceeding further, I would urge you to do two things: 1) Search in the mailing list archives for the previous (and lengthy) discussions that took place on this very issue a few years ago (get the date when the page was changed to the current terse version from CVS and then search back from then in the archives). Read the thread and then reflect if this is still a good idea. 2) If you still think it's necessary to change it, compose a text that you'd like to see. It will have to avoid the pitfall that inexperienced web users will think that the ASF has hijacked their website. BTW, note that said users cannot be assumed to understand, or even read, anything that appears on the page. Oh, and you'll need it in all supported languages, too. -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That is going to lead to a bunch of bug reports and irate users as well. -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89364] Re: Apache2 default site contains only the words It works!
Um, I think you must be mistaken. Every browser DOES handle that correctly. Every version of IE that I have used displays a 404 Not Found message. Can you cite anything to support your claims? If this is still not an option, how about the following text: h1Your website has not been configured yet./h1 pContact the site administrator who will tell you how to start adding content to your website./p -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You're uneasy that I am not aware of it? What a strange comment to make. I am perfectly aware of this behaviour and it was this that I was suggesting Apache should make use of. You have not provided any URIs to confirm that discussed took place. The Apache website provides no method of searching and Google provides me with no joy. Can you provide me with a link to the specific thread you are referencing or tell me why my suggested text is unsuitable? -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

IN IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced then check show friendly HTTP error messages. Then go to http://httpd.apache.org/wibble and you will see a client-generated page (ie, not the error_404.html page from apache). This is a well-known feature of IE and I'm a little uneasy that you're not aware of it... Did you do the research I suggested above? You will find many of these issues have already been discussed.. ** Attachment added: ie_404.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8039045/ie_404.png -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89364] Re: Apache2 default site contains only the words It works!
Hi Noah, Did you try the thing I suggested to get IE to show its friendly error messages? The trouble is that it's possible to run a configuration of IE that does not display the 404 sent from the server. That's what Soren is talking about... Your response to his message implied you were unaware of this. As regards finding th thread; you're the one proposing the change so please don't be offended if I invite you to do the leg-work :-) FWIW, I already spent about 20 minutes searching MARC but couldn't hit on a sufficiently accurate keyword. I already suggested you check the revision history to narrow down the date. Maybe someone else can remember the kerfuffle? -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I asked around, and it turns out that back in the ol' days when that page actually contained useful information, it was often left there only to be found by random passers by, who in turn contacted either the apache developers or the Debian apache maintainers bugging them about things that didn't work, etc. I rather consider the removal a sound decision and will hence reject this bug.

I appreciate this - but can we choose something more professional than It works.

I have reopened this bug as: 1) The file is still malformed without a newline. 2) I think the message should be change to something a little less terse or a 404 error. ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- Apache2 default site contains only the words It works! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
