How to execute a script Perl with mozilla with Bitnami LAMP Stack? - apache

I downloaded LAMP Stack from Bitnami web site as Ubuntu VM. I'm not expert, and I've some difficultes. I created a perl script as CGI called prova.cgi : it is a simple hello world. Now I have to execute it using mozilla (in windows), keeping alive the bitnami VM: I write: http://192.168.88.129/opt/bitnami/apache2/cgi-bin/prova.cgi but the result is:
Not Found
The requested URL /opt/bitnami/apache2/cgi-bin/prova.cgi was not found on this server.
Maybe I'm making an error about the location in which my script is supposed to stay: I put it in /opt/bitnami/apache2/cgi-bin/.
Any Suggestion?
Regards, Matteo

"Not Found" means exactly what it says on the tin.
What's going on, is apache is configured with a scripting location - the precise details will be in your httpd.conf. When you access a url of an appropriate type, apache will redirect the request and run the script.
I will guess in this case - you need to fetch http://192.168.88.129/cgi-bin/prova.cgi
But to be sure, you'd need to check your httpd.conf.

Howto run mod-mono and php on same apache webserver

I've successfully implemented mod-mono and apache webserver on a Centos 8 distro.
I've also installed PHP 7.2 on the server and the configuration looks ok on eye inspection.
However, the webserver is not executing the PHP files, but serving them for download.
If i go to http://example.com - it runs the website in MONO space
If I go to http://example.com/info.php - it gives me the PHP file for downloading. It makes me think that it tries to run the php file through mono and fails, so gives it to me for download instead forwarding it to PHP for execution.
Is it possible to run both PHP and MONO code on same apache webserver?
If yes, what could be the tricks to have it working ?
Many thanks.
Actually having a separate PHP website and also MONO websites in same apache server was working. However I though things were not working since I tried to run the PHP file from within the MONO-handled virtualhost ... so no need for clarifications.

Where can I find httpd.conf file for Apache on my windows?

I am trying to fix one venerability on my production web server(Apache), Venerability is "The HTTP headers sent by the remote web server disclose information that can aid an attacker, such as the server version and technologies used by the web server"
For this I have gone for some solutions , some where I found that to solve the above Venerability we need to edit the httpd.conf file on server but I did not find httpd.conf file in my entire system (using windows 10 os) can any one please let me know hot find that file or how to resolve that Venerability on production ?
You can find httpd.conf in
installed folder ex Apache24
Apache24/conf/httpd.conf
On Windows, I have seen people run Apache from all kinds of weird and wonderful places.
You need to track down where your Apache instance is running from, normally its running as a service on windows. If you open the properties on the service and look at the Path to executable, it should be something similar to the below.
"C:\Program Files\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
Or it could be
"D:\Some Application\Version\WEB\tool\SOFTS\HTTPD\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
Unless there is an -f flag, setting the location of the conf. There will be a "conf" folder at the same level as the "bin" folder regardless of the path. This location is set at compile time so unless you have bespoke version off Apache this should be the location.
If you are struggling to find the service or a launcher that is running Apache. You can use WMI with a WQL query to look for processes which are called httpd.exe and get its executable path.
wmic process WHERE name="httpd.exe" GET ExecutablePath
In Xampp Control panel, in apache row, click on "config" button and then you see the term Apache(httpd.conf).

Configure Apache on Windows 7

I want to test some code on localhost before uploading to a live site. So I decided to install Apache. I'm running 64bit windows 7 enterprise edition. I downloaded httpd-2.0.64-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi. I installed it under C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Group\Apache2
I have set domain name and server name to localhost in my installation, and used default value for all other steps. In my configuration file httpd.conf, I have ServerName localhost:80.
I followed everything I can find on online apache installation tutorials. But when I typed in localhost in my browser, I got a 404 error :(
I know it's very hard to diagnose this way, but I just wonder if someone can spot an important step I'm missing.
I'm feeling it could be something to do with my 64bit machine, and the long folder name Program Files (x86). But I have tried to install on C:\Apache directly and failed too (even got an error during installation). Can someone help?
Finally figured it out. Apache service didn't start because another system process was listening to port 80. Refer to these two posts for solutions:
http://forums.zpanelcp.com/archive/index.php/t-5265.html
http://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=1575&title=Apache_won%27t_start
Good luck to all!
Did you start the service?
Also, you should install XAMPP or WAMPP, which offers Apache, PHP and MySQL support without all the configuration hassle.
If you got a 404 error then either the webserver is running or you failed to start it and have something very wrong with the existing network config on your machine.
The latter is a lot more likely - and you can check this by looking at the logs which it has generated - there should be entries in both the access and error log.
If the problem is the spaces in the path (you'll see an error relating to the documentroot from the entries added to the error_log at startup) then (IIRC) you can either enclose the path in double quotes or use a path for the document root which doesn't have spaces - the content doesn't have to site below the directory you installed Apache into - indeed it's arguable that using a different path is good practice. Note that several versions of mod_fcgid don't like paths with spaces even if you quote them.

How to begin writing an Application Server over Apache?

For my college project, I want to create a simple application server in C that runs over Apache. Like .php, .asp, .jsp, the extension of my files would be .sas.
I have already written a parser which reads the .sas files and generates the output. For example, consider a file index.sas with the below code:
<%
echo "Hello";
%>
Now, if I execute:
sas index.sas
The result would be:
Hello
Now I want to use this program as an
application server over Apache just as
PHP, Tomcat, etc. work over Apache. I
have heard of cgi-bin but I think PHP
uses a different approach. I want to
learn the approach which PHP uses.
Please advice.
Little correction: Apache HTTP Server is not required to be able to run Apache Tomcat as webserver. Apache Tomcat is at its own already a full fledged webserver. Your confusion is probably caused by the Tomcat Connector which could be used to connect Apache HTTP Server and Apache Tomcat together to be able to serve PHP/JSP behind one same HTTP port.
As to your actual question, PHP can be installed as CGI module or ASAPI (Apache Server API) module. If you want to program a CGI module for Apache HTTP Server, then you may find this document useful. If you want to write an ASAPI module, then you may find those documentations useful.
You need to write a module utilizing the Apache API.
Some basic documentation with examples can be found here.
http://www.auburn.edu/docs/apache/mod/mod_example.html
No, no, no!!! Did I say "no" enough? :)
You don't need to create a new module or look at PHP source code. Talking about re-inventing the wheel using a square boulder.
The easiest thing to do is to use mod_cgi. That is, you use CGI to have Apache forward the request to your SAS interpreter.
[Apache 1.3x] - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_cgi.html
[Apache 2.0x] - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cgi.html
[CGI] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface
Now, if you do not want to use CGI (don't know why unless it is expressively forbidden by your homework instructions), then yeah, you will have to create a module. For that take a look at this as an starting point (courtesy of google):
http://threebit.net/tutorials/apache2_modules/tut1/tutorial1.html
Good luck with that, though. It could become labor-intensive.
Hope it helps.

Why won't my local Apache open html pages?

so, I'm running Apache on my laptop.
If I go to "localhost", I get the page that says,
If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page.
except, I can't add content and replace that page.
I can click on its links, and that works fine.
First of all, there's not even an "index.html" document in that directory. If I try to directly access one that I created with localhost/index.html, I get "the request URL was not found on the server." So, I'm not even sure where that page is coming from. I've searched for words in that page under the apache directory, and nothing turns up. It seems to redirect somewhere.
Just as a test, I KNOW that it loads localhost/manual/index.html (doesn't matter what that is) so I tried to replace that with something I've written, and I received the message
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
The error log says,
[Fri Sep 12 20:27:54 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Syntax error in type map, no ':' in C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/manual/index.html for header \r\n
But, that page works fine if I open directly with a browser.
so, basically, I don't know what I don't know here. I'm not sure what apache is looking for. I'm not sure if the error is in my config file, my html page, or what.
Oh, and the reason I want to open this using apache is (mainly) because I'm trying to test some php, so I'm trying to get apache to run locally.
Thanks.
"By default, your pages should be placed in the "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs" folder for Apache 2.0 and the "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs" folder for Apache 2.2. When your site is ready, simply delete the existing files in the folder and replace them with those you want to test."
From here.
OK,
To answer my own. . .I found that the "Listen" directive in the configuration file had been set to "Listen 80" instead of "Listen localhost: 80".
Also, localhost/htdocs/index.html doesn't work, but localhost/index.html does.
Hopefully this can help someone in the future.
Thanks, Schroeder.
If you have Skype it also uses the same ports(80, 443) as Xampp does. So start Xampp first and then Skype.
