protecting web directories in apache2
Running Apache2 on Debian testing release. Say I have a directory http://www.website.org/files/ And I want to let a user download a file: http://www.website.org/files/example.txt But I don't want them to be able to browse the directory and see the other files in there. So how can I protect the directory? Zach -- http://www.fidei.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

rendering foreign characters in apache?
Running apache2 on Debian testing. What do I need to install/configure to get Chinese or Japanese text to render in apache? I cut/pasted some text from a RTF document and when I load the document via http://server/document.html it is a bunch of gibberish and the foreign characters (in this case Japanese) is not rendered.

problem with awstats
Running Debian testing, installed awstats package and configured it
for use with my apache2 name-based virtual hosts (I have
/var/www/domain1.org, /var/www/domain2.org etc), but when I go to:
http://domain1.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl or
http://domain2.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl it gives the error:
Error: SiteDomain parameter not defined in your config/domain file.
You must edit it for using this version of AWStats.
Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.conf' file, web server or permissions)
may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
I *do not* want it checking file /etc/awstats/awstats.conf! I setup
/etc/awstats/awstats.domain.conf for each domain so how can I force it
to use that?
Here is the relevant info from one of my /etc/awstats/awstats.domain.conf:
LogFile=/var/www/oggthebase.org/logs/access.log
SiteDomain=oggthebase.org
HostAliases=www.oggthebase.org
DirData=/var/lib/awstats/oggthebase.org
# ls -l /var/lib/awstats/oggthebase.org
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6322 Nov 10 23:17 awstats102010.oggthebase.org.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12397 Nov 11 07:17 awstats112010.oggthebase.org.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4853 Nov 11 04:17 dnscachelastupdate.oggthebase.org.hash

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66306 Nov 11 08:05 access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21056 Nov 11 02:14 error.log
BTW each hour cron runs this script:
/usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats_updateall.pl
-awstatsprog=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl now /dev/null
So it should be updating all of them and when I look at the DataDir
the stats appear to be there.

Re: problem with awstats
Camaleón wrote: BTW if I enter http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=oggthebase.org;; it shows the statistics! IIRC, that's the standard way for virtual hosting. You have to specify the site you want to get the stats for. But all the awstats documentation I've read (that included in the Debian package, stuff I found on google) says the other way should work. But if I enter http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=oggthebase.org;; it gives the error I mentioned. Both links are the same :-? Sorry a mis-paste. I meant I get the error which I mentioned in my first message if I enter: http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl From everything I've read this *should* work but it doesn't. Instead it reads /etc/awstats/awstats.conf instead of reading /etc/awstats/awstats.oggthebase.org.conf /etc/awstats/awstats.conf should only be triggered if someone on the local LAN entered the localhost name since the relevant entries in /etc/awstats/awstats.conf are: LogFile=/var/log/apache2/access.log SiteDomain=localhost HostAliases=localhost 127.0.0.1 DirData=/var/lib/awstats Since I *only* use vhosts for my domains there is no one SiteDomain for my web server. Thus I setup each of the separate .conf files for each vhost. I'm not sure if awstats is expecting something else in this default awstats.conf file or if some other part of the configuration is in error. From everything I read I setup everything correctly as detailed in my first message and the stats are generated and are accessible using the http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=oggthebase.org method but again from everything I've read documented the http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl method should work.

fglrx driver in debian squeeze in limbo - any ideas?
This sucks. Stupid closed source drivers cause such problems. Any workaround I can do? I need to build the fglrx driver for debian squeeze (ati radeon hd 4550 card), but I just saw this bug saying the packages have been removed from testing due to a conflict with the x.org transition. The packages referred to here: http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary such as fglrx-control and fglrx-driver are no longer available so what should I do?

Weird issue with windows since I installed ATI driver
I installed the Catalyst driver (from manufacturer) for my ATI Radeon HD 4550 card and it is working (X acceleration works, good resolution, etc.) but I noticed something weird. Now when I move a window it no longer shows the window static as it is being moved, it's like it keeps redrawing it as I move it. So as I drag it it will move it a little then redraw the window, move it a little, then redraw the window, etc. Also I noticed in Firefox when I scroll it does the same thing, instead of keeping the text fixed it redraws the text as the scroller moves. i really don't like this. It didn't do this in Ubuntu and I used to same driver. Is this an X thing or a metacity thing or a gnome thing? How can I fix this?

some lenny problems
Ok I just did a fresh install of lenny (so using default gnome settings, default metacity settings, default X settings) and I have 3 problems. 1) There is no bottom gnome panel only the top panel. I want to add the bottom panel which shows the minimized windows, the virtual workspaces, etc.. And I want this to show up in every session. 2) Common packages I could find easily in Ubuntu 9.04 are not in my package caches (and yes I just ran apt-get update) such as xchat and epic4. I know Debian is more restrictive but what can I add to my /etc/apt/sources.list to get these and other apps. Here is my sources.list: # # deb-src cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny main # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny main # deb-src cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main 3) Some apps start up with window dimensions that are larger than my screen height and thus fall off the bottom of the screen! This happened with Iceweasel. How can I fix this so that *all* apps will be forced to resize their window dimensions so as to fit within my screen resolution? Thanks!

weird networking issue on lenny!
Greetings! I just did fresh install of lenny, I have a DSL modem and run a static IP setup so I manually set up my route (DHCP was enabled by default) by killing the dhclient process and then setting up /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces and doing /etc/init.d/networking restart and it went fine, but suddenly after 30 minutes I suddenly lost internet connectivity and here is what I saw then: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface As you can see there is no longer a routing table! # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:1d:2c:a0:78 inet6 addr: fe80::224:1dff:fe2c:a078/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:114835 errors:0 dropped:15769089116 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:66868 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:169505917 (161.6 MiB) TX bytes:4876501 (4.6 MiB) Interrupt:253 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) As you can see my inet addr is now gone!

wi-fi security?
Got a new laptop and was wondering about wifi security. I've never used wifi before. I wanted to go to some of the local coffee shops that offer free wii but I need to know: 1) How do I setup wifi in Linux? 1) How do I detect and connect to public free network(s)? 2) How do I make my laptop more secure so others on wifi network can't steal or sniff my packets? I heard many people using free wifi get heir passwords sniffed, etc. Running Ubuntu 9.04 and Debian 5.01 triple boot with Vista Home Premium. Any Linux programs for detecting available wifi signals and connecting to them and any wifi security apps? Also another problem is that when at home I want my laptop to be able to share my DSL connection, right now my desktop is connected directly (static IP, no PPoE just raw ethernet frames) to the DSL modem and I was hoping I can keep this setup and find a way to attack my laptop when I want to use it at home so what hardware would I need and how should I set it up? So right now I have: phone jack UPS DSL modem desktop NIC I setup the networking manually by editing the appropriate files. I want the laptop to automatically connect to the wired network at home when I connect it and to wireless networks also, not sure if this can be done.

Installing Debian alongside Windows Vista?
Hi, I have a 500GB disk which has Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64bit) installed on it. Not sure if that is 1 huge partition or not. I assume it is NTFS. Can someone please tell me exactly what I must do to shrink the Vista install by 50% and install Debian squeeze (64bit AMD) on the 250GB partition that will be freed. Also what do you recommend for swap size (it has 4GB ram) and just have 1 big root partition with everything on it or split 125GB for root / and 125GB for /home partitions. Also how do I setup GRUB to then dual boot Vista and Debian? I've only used LILO as my boot manager in the past?

ideas for Linux router?
Hello, I got an awesome deal today on a Linksys wired Etherfast Cable/DSL router and 4 port switch - $5 USD at our local Goodwill Computer Store. They get donations and then sell them (they are a non-profit corp. that helps the disabled). The model number is: BEFSR41 version 3. What exactly can I do with this in Linux? I have 2 computers and would like to network them using this. It came with a 6 foot ethernet cable and a 12V power adapter. Any ideas and/or pointers on what to do to set this up in Linux would be great. Right now I have raw ethernet frames being sent to my laptop which is using static IP so I have nothing in the way: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 66.93.172.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 66.93.172.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 My eventual goal is to setup a DMZ network and route my public network traffic behind that but for the present I just want to get my 2 computers sharing the DSL line using this router I got. Here is my planned DMZ setup: http://www.hyperyoda.org/my-DMZ-network-diagram.png PS: The Goodwill store has a 20 port Agilent switch (still wrapped in plastic in the box) for $20.
