Virtual Hosting in Ubuntu Hardy Heron: Case Example Consider the case of two domain names mysite1 and site2 to be served on IP Address 192.168.1.100 (port 80) Before proceeding let us look at how resolv.conf and hosts file are set up ... $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search kurinchilion.com nameserver 192.168.1.100 $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.100 myserver.kurinchilion.com myserver # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts (more…)

What is Virtual Hosting? Virtual Hosting is a technique by which web servers can serve more than one domain name on the same server. It can also be a variation of serving different sites on the same IP but on different ports. (more…)

Some possible solutions to this problem: i) Check if .htaccess file is making any redirections ii) Check if /LocalSettings.php have any invalid reference to root ii) If you have freshly installed the server, check if AppArmor or SELinux is installed on the machine. If it is try to remove those software and try you website url. To remove appArmor follow the below steps: $ /etc/init.d/apparmor stop $ update-rc.d -f apparmor remove $ apt-get remove apparmor apparmor-utils

If Ubuntu server is installed anew, users tend to have a dilemma as to the steps involved in gaining access to the root account. Root account exists but the password is not empty though. The user should log in with the account he/she creates during the installation process. (more…)

Possible causes: Check how many network cards are installed in your system and if you are configuring the correct NIC card Check the interfaces configuration settings $ cat /etc/network/interfaces Do not forget to restart the networking daemon after each change $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (more…)

After base Ubuntu installation, you have to configure the network interface file to get the network settings via DHCP/static IP address (if you haven't configured during the initial installation). For this you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces file $ vi /etc/network/interfaces (more…)
