mac osx - Proper way to disable Apache listening on localhost

itemprop="text">

I manage a few Mac OSX XServes for
production websites and have recently run into an issue dealing with the server
resolving the DNS of some of the sites. Further investigation revealed that httpd.conf
was configured to listen on all IPs (port 80), but the virtual host configurations only
applied to the actual IP for the domain (not
localhost).



eg (freehand configuration, probably
syntactically incorrect and missing irrelevant options):

in
httpd.conf:
Listen 80



in
domainA:80.conf:
ServerName
domainA.com



Now, in the /etc/hosts file, it had
this entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1
domainA.com




what would happen when
domainB.com called out to domainA.com on the same machine, it would use the localhost IP
address. Therefore, instead of using the correct virtualHost configuration, it used the
default configuration (this took me so damn long to figure out, but it makes perfect
sense)



I don't really have a need to access the
domains from localhost, so my question is: What's the best way to disable apache from
trying to access the configuration using
127.0.0.1?



1) Comment out the '127.0.0.1
domainA.com' entry in /etc/hosts (this is what I did to fix it temporarily, but is this
really a good solution)?



2) Update the
httpd.conf file to listen only to the appropriate 1.2.3.4 IP address (Listen 1.2.3.4:80)
?



Sidenote: I went with option 1 temporarily
because I use a Tenon configuration and was unsure of the ramifications of changing
their default value on the 'Listen'

Your option 2 is the correct way to go. You'll probably find a
Listen 80 statement in your httpd.conf which is saying listen
on port 80 on all available interfaces. Changing it to Listen
1.2.3.4:80
will restrict it to that address.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...
