Topic: htaccess

[AlexG]

Hi

I have a 7.2 SME Version and tried to install the e-smith-htaccess rpm. While installing this rpm some errors occured. But this package appears in the installed software, but does not work. Who has experience with this htaccess?

You don't say what versipn rpm, but my guess is that it is not compatible with 7.x.
You don't need an rpm, see

Hi

Thank you for the quick answer.
I am working on this how to, but this line does not work: /etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful
It appears 'command not found'

[raem]

AlexG

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful 'command not found'

This should do it.

sv t /service/httpd-e-smith

Then to check the service has restarted correctly

sv s /service/httpd-e-smith


Howto updated

[AlexG]

I tried it but it does not work:

sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>
sv s /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>
run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 5370) 8s, normally down
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful <enter>
-bash: /etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (File or Folder not found)

[raem]

AlexG

sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>
sv s /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>
run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 5370) 8s, normally down

That looks like it "worked" correctly to me.
You restarted the service with sv t .... and checked it was running with sv s.... which says the service has been running for 8 seconds since you restarted it.


The above commands replace the old command, so do not run the old command anymore as it is deprecated.
ie do not use
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-httpd-graceful <enter>

Nearly fine - The login screen appears - but does not accept the password. I have checked for any typo error - without success.
What does the row '/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf' mean? Do I have to write this after every changes?

You only run that command to expand the template once, immediately after creating the custom template.

Did you create the user/password file by carefully following the instructions given ?

[AlexG]

Yes I did and the Browser is asking one folder up than specified.

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/html/project/_name/html>
  AuthUserFile /etc/passwd
  AuthGroupFile /dev/null
  AuthName "Name"
  AuthType Basic
  <Limit GET>
    order deny,allow
    require valid-user
  </Limit>
</Directory>

I compared this with /etc/httpd/conf/htpd.conf - it's the same
Created the /etc/passwd with 'cd /etc; htpasswd -c passwd user1'

Check your configuration carefully.

I followed the howto (with the revised sv t ... command) and it works OK on a sme7.2 server
ie to
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/testibay/html/folder1/testfolder

When I browse to
www.mydomain.com/folder1/testfolder
I get asked to login, I supply the user name and password I entered into the password file and I get access OK.

[AlexG]

I will check it carefully. One last question: How can I delete these changes to the originating (after deleting this folder)?

Thanks a lot, have a nice day!

[raem]

AlexG

Do the reverse process, that's the beauty of custom templates changes.
ie
delete the custom template you added
expand the template
restart httpd-e-smith

delete the password file

Hi

Do you mean with restarting 'sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>'?

After this the server was down - I did 'sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>' again and nothing happened and there was no way to reboot the server. Is witched him off. Started again - many errors occurred . I have deleted the 50AddSecureIbayFolder File, I have edited the http.conf file and it seems to work again.

The way is?
- Editing the custom template
- Expanding the template with '/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf <enter>'
- restarting the httpd-e-smith with 'sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>'

The command syntax is slightly different in sme7, so you can do the following (replacing file names with those you used of course)

rm /etc/passwordfilename
rm /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 50AddSecureIbayFolder
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv t /service/httpd-e-smith

It is recommended practise to check that the service did actually restart and is running, with
sv s /service/httpd-e-smith

The way is?
- Editing the custom template
- Expanding the template with '/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf <enter>'
- restarting the httpd-e-smith with 'sv t /service/httpd-e-smith <enter>'

Yes, but in sme7 you can leave out the /sbin/e-smith/ part ie

'expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf <enter>'

[AlexG]

[root@sme-1 httpd.conf]# rm campasswd
[root@sme-1 httpd.conf]# rm 50AddSecureIbayFolder
[root@sme-1 httpd.conf]# expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[root@sme-1 httpd.conf]# sv t /service/httpd-e-smith
[root@sme-1 httpd.conf]# sv s /service/httpd-e-smith
run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 4757) 10s, normally down

Sorry, but from this point the server is doing nothing anymore. I can not reboot or shutdown. I have to switch him off and boot again.

Best regards
