Re: [newbie] Apache and blocking Referrer spam
Bryan Phinney wrote: Don't know if anyone else here is running Apache with web logs, or 'blogs' and has had trouble with referrer spam but I thought I would mention my latest experience. Blogs are one of the more interesting developments of the Internet and there are a lot of packages out there that allow people to maintain their own blogs. If you run Apache and host these packages, you may have noticed a lot of traffic recently as marketers try to adverise their web sites by throwing traffic at a blog and thereby moving their site to the top of the referrer's list. They are also hoping to increase their Google rank by increasing the number of sites that advertise links to their own sites. Mostly porn sites currently, but several others have been doing this. I recently got hit by someone operating (out of Texas, I think) who had several sites hosted at EV1 and was using various open proxies to refer traffic to my blog and increase his rank. Initially, I just figured out how to ban his sites from my referrer listing but I was really unsatisfied with that response since he kept hitting my site anyway with robots and it just wasn't very gratifying to me. I would have had problems blocking his traffic altogether since he was using various open proxies and switching them regularly, so I wanted to be able to focus exclusively on his traffic. He was also rotating the browser agent and so on, so blocking that would have been problematic as well. So, I finally did some research and figured out how to deny access to requests that contained certain keywords (including his web site domain names) in the request (referrer) which effectively resulted in him getting 403 errors rather than actually getting into my web page. After 2-3 days of him not getting into the site, I sent an email (to the admin account at one of the domains) and pointed out to him that he was wasting his time since I was blocking his spam bots and that he might do better to find an easier target. As of today, all the spam referrer traffic has stopped which I suspect means that he has given up. If anyone else is having this problem and runs Apache to host their own site, I can quickly show you how to do this (add a few lines to httpd2.conf) and you can block these out yourself.

Okay, in the httpd.conf file, add this line somewhere near the top, not within the virtual directory line: SetEnvIfNoCase Referer .*(casino|gambling|poker|porn|viagra).* BadReferrer All on one line, ignore any wrapping from the newsreader. Add terms as needed to block additional referrer blacklisted terms. This will tell Apache to set an environment variable of badreferrer when it receives a request that contains the blacklisted term. Now, within the virtual directory for your blog, site or whatever, add these lines: allow from all order allow,deny Deny from env=BadReferrer Any order, it doesn't matter but Apache will explicitly deny when it sees the badreferrer environment variable. Restart Apache and if you check your access_log, you should see 403 results for any request that contains a blacklisted term. Simply add, as necessary, additional terms and they will no longer be allowed access. Once you have locked it down, consider sending a polite request to the insert favorite epithet here and tell him that they might as well give it up and they should realize the futility of wasting traffic and go away. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The reason they work for http://www.mysite.org/mypage is because images/ is actually the same as /images/ as you are in the document root directory.

RE: [newbie] apache making me batty
chmod o+x /home/*
is all you need for the users. It allows the world
to enter the directories but not list them. I
would recommend:
find /home -type d -name public_html -exec chmod 2750 {} \;
find /home -type d -name public_html -exec chown -R .apache {} \;
which sets the group sticky bit on the public_html directories.
All new files/directories created in public_html will have group
apache.

The problem as I see it, is that mandrake have alot of really good programmers, but no really good software designers...

Apache Extranet took no extra work to config it just worked. Gotta love the Mandrake. Oh, I do love the Mandrake!

Just for a lark I installed everything on a much newer Sony and it all came up without a hitch, except for having to hand configure the things that MCC was about to bork again. The MCC issue is kinda curious. It detects the NICs correctly and, unlike XP, even identifies them properly. It sees the ISP on eth1 and the internal network on eth0 but the moment I let it go it reverses everything. I'm also wondering if it's little issue is that they're both DHCP assigned.

Not a big problem. Replace and go for it. Figure out how to get Shorewall to open port 80 on the internal network only, which wasn't fun. (With Shorewall I'm strating to think that there's something in my braincells that doesn't make a connection with howtos and examples that don't match the actual configuration screens. In any event, it works now.) Set up BIND and DNS to handle things there and beat Samba into submission so that the Windoze boxes, now only laptops, can read it. Upload a web page with the entirely original phrase Hello World written on it in dull script. Can't get there from here..even though I can ping it. Even more annoying and puzzling is that the Win 98 laptop has no problem but the Linux machines all error out. Anyway..the point I'm at now is having Apache log everything and looking for what it might be. Ditto DNS and BIND. This never happened on 8.2 :-) However, learning is fun if frustrating at times. The only reason for the recommendation to my friend is that she's in a hurry and I can't really get to this problem until I get some time off the day job in September to chase down what is undoubtedly my own screw up. Working 6 days a week will do that. I'll talk to her again on Tuesday and see if I can't slow her down a bit. All in all I'd rather she use Mandrake for an enormous number of reasons mostly having to do with the small fact that it's the best, IMHO, and often least expensive. Now I'll go eat and do penance for being cranky by fighting with my cats over just who will eat the chicken. :-) ttfn John Again I am baffled, I use eth0 as internal and eth1 as the external devices since I didn't know any better. It works just dandy all through my system. MCC has caused me no problems, (well with the exception of the current beta, it is not playing nice in beta 1) So the old YMMV continues to be a reasonable statement. I would suggest that your friends business would run just fine on MandrakeLinux, ours does.

As an alternative, does anyone have a good newbie site for the steps involved? Not much to do, it should work out of the box. Verify that httpd is running (you can do that through mcc system services--you can also start it from there if it's not running). To start it from a terminal, as root do service httpd start. Note that if you make any configuration changes to /etc/httpd/conf/*.conf, you'll have to restart httpd. Also, on my 9.1 installation with default security settings, is the standard port open or closed? How can I tell. You can go to mcc security firewall and check that you want to allow Web Server.

Re: [newbie] Apache 2, virtual hosts and SSL
It did not work for me, sorry. When I add a new host to the sss.default-vhost.conf file, it appears in WebMin as just another virtual host which manages the named virtual host. Actually, the only way in which i can use HTTPS with my Apache 2 system is by using https://localhost/; and this makes use of the default vhost present in the ssl.default-vhost.conf file. Clearly this prevents me from accessing my WebServer from another machine by using HTTPS. Also, one strange thing is that when in Webmin I try to use the SSL options associated to any virtual host, the SSLEngine on directive is properly written in the Vhost.conf file but apachectl is unable to restart, i.e. this directive makes httpd2 not able to start. Now, it seems to me that this should be something very basic... i.e. HOW COULD I USE HTTPS on a Virtual Host! Using HTTPS on localhost does not add that much, right ? /stefano Troy Davidson wrote: Stefano, I was reading up on Virtual Domains and Apache and found this.

Re: [newbie] apache rewrite regex
. means every character * means zero, one or more instances of the previous character. ^ means beginning of the line (or negation in some situations) $ means end of line The part of the regexp between the brackets will be returned as $1 So the first regexp ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ says: - If a line starts (^) with zero, one or more instances of any character - followed by /perl/ (the slashes are backslashed because it are special characters) - followed by zero, one or more instances of any character result == the whole line without any end-of-line characters, if it contains /perl/, Nothing if it doesn't contain /perl/ So a wild guess for the string you want to write: ^\/perl\/dl.pl(\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 But I guess the regexp you wrote first will work to !

So a wild guess for the string you want to write: ^\/perl\/dl.pl(\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 But I guess the regexp you wrote first will work to ! Steven forgot some comments. - I don't think the regexp I wrote is 100% correct - Also try: RewriteRule ^.*(\/perl\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200$1 [P] (the .* outside of the brackets) Maybe that will work ?

RE: [newbie] apache rewrite regex
yeah, I got that.. its pretty much the same as Perl regex. However.. I am not sure now that the regex is the issue... After hours and hours of googling on the issue I believe its a deficiency in apache.. one that mandrakes apache with virt named hosting setup brings to the fore. The issue is more or less specific to me, virtual named hosting with proxied mod perl using proxy redirects. To give you an idea, both of these work: http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/dl.pl?login=yes http://mydomain.com/perl/dl.pl/?login=yes (the second one works (notice the /?), but not as modperl for some reason it seems to be executing as cgi or something. and rewriting the regex to add the / into the proxy address has the same effect (as slow as cgi perl). (I know its not using mod perl because its the HTTP process that shows up in 'top' when it is run, whereas http-perl shows up when run the first way.) As before, this: http://mydomain.com/perl/dl.pl?login=yes results in this: [Wed Jun 11 18:40:11 2003] [error] [client 192.168.0.6] File does not exist: proxy:http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl?login=yes Appearing in the log, and a page not found error appearing on the browser. So in essense, mod_rewrite doing the proxy doesn't appear to pass the params on.. instead it seem to be implying they are part of the filename.. Go figure, the two things I wanted to do with apache/Perl, are both broken with named virtual hosting. (mod_perl SSI and this.) Does anyone know a method by which I might achieve the same result? (I can't use port 8200 links in the pages because we have already experianced problems with some routers not allowing that.) regards Franki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steven Broos Sent: Wednesday, 11 June 2003 6:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] apache rewrite regex . means every character * means zero, one or more instances of the previous character. ^ means beginning of the line (or negation in some situations) $ means end of line The part of the regexp between the brackets will be returned as $1 So the first regexp ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ says: - If a line starts (^) with zero, one or more instances of any character - followed by /perl/ (the slashes are backslashed because it are special characters) - followed by zero, one or more instances of any character result == the whole line without any end-of-line characters, if it contains /perl/, Nothing if it doesn't contain /perl/ So a wild guess for the string you want to write: ^\/perl\/dl.pl(\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 But I guess the regexp you wrote first will work to !

I can run mod_perl scripts in either of the following methods: http://mydomain.com/perl/script.pl or http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/script.pl so the basic proxying works.. However only the latter URL works when passed params.. like so: http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/script.pl?id=somethingfunction=stuff (that one works) This one doesn't: http://mydomain.com/perl/script.pl?id=somethingfunction=stuff when I try that I always get the message that script.pl can't be found. Since its an internal proxy, I can't see what the regex has grabbed. This is the regex in question in the vhosts file: RewriteRule ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200$1 [P] I tried adding this one too in an effort to be more specific.. but it didn't work either: RewriteRule /perl\/dl.pl/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 [P] What I don't understand is this: .* In my mind means '0' or more of 'anything' so why is it not catching params??

Re: [newbie] Apache security
I think it's a little bit paranoia to say you may not run PHP. I find it weird CGI is OK, but PHP isn't... Both are dangerous for your system when they are not administered well. Apache has one parent-instance owned by root. The child-rpocesses are run from the account you specified. I wouldn't worry about that. A lot of security related issues depend on how you use your machine. Is it a webserver, or a personal desktop PC ? In the second case, do you have a permanent internet connection ? Is there a router or firewall in between ? ... Maybe you want to read some information about IPtables... ?

Apache only reads this file when it starts or when the root user tells it to re-read the httpd.conf file. 7 Renaming the index.shtml in de default folder als does not result in presenting the content of the default folder, it does result in a 403 page.

You did not say what you need to login as root for. - Do you need to login as root to browse localhost web pages? - Or do you need to login as root to start apache? 9 Is there -at this moment- a way to check if PHP is working.
