Good day everyone, I have been trying to put my moodle online so pcs from internet can access it, but until now, no luck at all. (Im using moodle 3.9 on ubuntu 20and apache2).
I tried to configure the moodle file config.php, setting the directive $CFG -> wwwroot = "my-public-ip/moodle". Then, when I access to moodle from the server, I can access it by "http://my-public-ip/moodle", when I try to access via localhost, its running.
when I try to access the server from an outside pc. When I type "http://my-public-ip/moodle" it is not running.it looks like the outside pcs are either ignoring it, or searching for another configuration file. I dont know what the hell is happening, this is very odd.

I am a web developer, and for some upcoming projects I would like to use a file-based CMS. This means that many of the files I create at the start must be editable by the PHP user later, but also remain editable for my user (and also the other way around). My PC runs Debian 9, which I love but am not super knowledgeable about, and I have also just set up a local network server with Debian 9 for backups and possibly file sharing. (I'm using Webmin to configure this, which reflects my level of command line skills).
On my online shared hosting server, the PHP user and the FTP user seem to be the same, and 644/755 permissions work fine, this is also recommended by the CMS I'm using. I would like to mimic this on my computer so I don't have to fiddle with permissions all the time. But how do I do this? Currently, my regular user (anna) does not have access to www-data's files and vice versa. Putting them in the same group still means changing file permissions. Making anna the PHP user is a Bad Idea (as far as I understand it) because anna has sudo permissions.
So far I have researched three possible solutions that I don't really know very much about, and I would like to know which is the best route to take.
Develop locally on my computer and use apache-mpm-itk or suPHP to let PHP edit the files (I got that idea from this question on ServerFault).
Develop locally on my computer and rsync the files to my server with grunt-rsync, and somehow get rsync to set the ownership to www-data (another ServerFault thread helping here).
Mount the project's server directory, which is owned by www-data, on my computer with SSHFS and then either edit the files on the server directly or copy them over from my local directory with grunt-copy.
What do you think: from a security and ease of use perspective, which is the best way? Or do you know an even better one?
Thank you for taking the time to read and think about this!
Anna~
I figured it out! I finally ended up reading about running PHP as CGI instead of as an Apache module, and that this would solve my permissions problem. Plus, as far as I understand it, there are no extra security precautions to take when I'm the only one working with it on my local computer.
In case someone comes across this who might find it helpful, here's what I did (basically following these instructions):
I installed php7.0-fpm
Edited /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf and put the following just before </VirtualHost>:
DirectoryIndex index.php
<LocationMatch "^(.*\.php)$">
ProxyPass fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html
</LocationMatch>
I activated the Apache module proxy_fcgi (via Webmin, which apparently does an automatic Apache restart)
In /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf I commented out a listen line and put another below like this:
; listen = /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
I then restarted PHP-FPM with this command: /etc/init.d/php7.0-fpm restart (a little different from the instructions, I'm on Debian 9). After that, phpinfo() gave me the Server API "FPM/FastCGI".
And finally, I changed the user and group from www-data to anna in three places, twice in /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf and then once more in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/php7.0-fpm.conf (this last bit may be Ubuntu/Debian specific, my thanks go to Keith for a comment on StackExchange).
And that was it! :-)
Ok I am attempting to transfer a manual change to powershell,
Attempting to grant IIS_IUSRS access to /LM/SmtpSvc/ and /LM/SmtpSvc/1/ nodes in the IIS Metabase.
I have googled extensively and can not find an example of what i am looking for.
I have been trying to play with
$smtp = [wmiclass]‘root\MicrosoftIISv2:IIsSmtpServerSetting'
But I am in a little over my head with WMI.
Any help would be appreciated. This setting is required for resolving
This.
Not an exact answer, but the best I have so far. Following the Guide here I chose option 1 and changed the app pool to network service. I will still work on a way to do the permissions settings with powershell.
Update (solution untested)
I found this answer on another post that details how to do it using scripts in the iis6.0 resource toolkit. To get these scripts on server 2012 you have to install the IIS6.0 resource toolkit, the only way i can find to do a silent install of this one was located here from there you can call the scripts using cscript.exe. I stuck with the changing user on the app pool option because it fits in with other things as well.
Anyone working with Intalio|BPMS?
I'm trying to implement a process using the Comunity Edition, and I'm having a problem I can't seem to solve.
The process has an AJAX Form and if I go to ui-fw in the server using localhost everything works, but if I try to access the server remotely using the url it doesn't.
The iframe for the AJAX Form is pointing to localhost and not the url.
From the very bad foruns at Intalio, I've checked /tried:
deploy from the designer using the url
finding every mention of localhost in the process deploy dir, and also in the var/conf
Still no luck.
Any ideas anyone??
Thanks in advance
Ricardo, IIRC the form is deployed according to the settings you use in the deployment manifest. I believe you can also set an other host name in the deployment manifest to deploy to localhost, but declare a different host name for the form and processes.
I know this is a very basic question.I am new to web programming.Im working with a CMS.My client has asked me to 'FTP' the site that i am manipulating on my local machine, so that he can view the changes too.He also gave a link on cliking which, the site pops up in its original form.I understand that its hosted on a server and i am suposed to make it look like the one i have modified on local.How do i do this?using an FTP client.What about the database?
And also what if something goes wrong during the process?Is it undoable?
I would have done much more research before asking this question, but i have got so little time to figure this out.Thnks
Encourage your client to use scp or sftp instead. It'll encrypt the login and traffic.
Get an FTP program like WSFTP.
What about the database? You need a copy of the database on the server (which is presumably where the link goes).
Get the login/pass from the client.
It's un-doable if you have a copy or backup of the original.
FTP copies files from one machine to another. Sounds like you need to install the CMS on the server.
Need more information: what CMS, is it already on the server, what database?
I'm using MAMP-pro to serve my domain to the outside world.
I'm not a very experienced sys-admin, though I've slogged my way through a few basic things. I know what apache is, and I can read-most-of but not generate-without-guide related .conf files.
I've got a perl script which I've tested from the command line and it works (outputs as desired.)
When I try to access said script from the browser, I get 404.
I've tried placing the script at:
/Users/me/Sites/mydomain.com/htdocs/mycgi.pl
/Users/me/Sites/mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl
/Users/me/Sites/mydomain.com/htdocs/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl
and accessing it as:
http://www.mydomain.com/mycgi.pl
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl
and all the various combinations, all to no avail (404.)
The script and its container directory have permissions 755.
So, what other steps am I missing? Are there any good set-up guides? I tried the MAMP-Pro manual, but it is filled with such information as "the cancel button cancels the current operation" and not really anything useful. Google turned up several hits that all seem to talk about how to make this work on localhost, but I'm trying to serve this to the outside world.
Any hints?
Thanks!
The official online documentation has a section on virtual hosts. When creating a host for www.mydomain.com you can choose the DocumentRoot which is called "Disk location" within MAMP PRO. If you still get a 404 error, take a look into the error_log for a more specific reason (i.e., where Apache tries to find the file in question).
