What FTP server for Apache virtual host server?

Ingram87 — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 13:14:18 +0000

I am working on putting together a web server using Apache 2.2.14 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 64 bit. I plan on having 10+ virtual host on the server. I would like for there to be ftp access to each virtual host, but I’m not sure what the best way to do that is. These appear to be my options:[Br style=”padding: 0px; margin: 0px;” />1. mod_ftp for apache looks like it will work, but it doesn’t seem to be very popular.[Br style=”padding: 0px; margin: 0px;” />2. Separate ftp server running on the same system

My question is what is the typical way to setup ftp access for each virtual host on a medium to large scale Apache web server?

We want to virtualize 4 computers we have their needs for a processor and memory. How can we match those specs up to a server that will host these virtual machines?
Can you run virtual machines on computer without hyper v? What will the outcome be? Will it be slow? Is there a limitation? What does hyper-v do?

Most configurations # use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn’t need to worry about # IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below. # # Please see the documentation at # http:// # for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts. # # You may use the command line option ‘-S’ to verify your virtual host # configuration. # # Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 # # VirtualHost example: # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not # match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any block. # ## ## ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com ## DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com ## ServerName dummy-host.example.com ## ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com ## ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-error_log ## CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common ## ## ## ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com ## DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com ## ServerName dummy-host2.example.com ## ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log ## CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log common ## ServerAdmin webmaster@skywalk-ent.com DocumentRoot “C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/Public/myweb/” ServerName localhost ServerAlias www.skywalk-ent.com ## ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/skywalk-ent.com-error_log ## CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/skywalk-ent.com-access_log common ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.com DocumentRoot “C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/Public/myweb/site1/” ServerName site1.loc ServerAlias www.adex-hk.com ## ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/site1.com-error_log ## CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/site1.com-access_log common ServerAdmin webmaster@site2.com DocumentRoot “C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/Public/myweb/site2/” ServerName site2.loc ## ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/site2.com-error_log ## CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/site2.com-access_log common this is to define if i have to define several sites such as site1, site2, site3 etc., Then how to do the same effect for virtual hosting on Tomcat please instruct and tell On c: windowssystemsdriversetchosts script is : 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 site1.loc 127.0.0.1 site2.loc 127.0.0.1 site3.loc i also specify site1,site2,site3 etc., How to do it on tomcat?

setting up a virtualhost

Royalpriest — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:45:41 +0000

I want to setup virtualhost on my apache server so that i can run more than one website on the same server without using www.localhost/mysite_name.com. If i get it right, using just www.mysite_name.com shld work but it doesn’t yet. The help I cud find thru google weren’t clear to me. Currently, localhost is my server/domain name, i want the servername to be any of my sites name instead. It’s possible to setup virtual servers on one server & run each instance as a separate host with a unique name, thats what i’ve been tryin to do. Thank you.

DNS NS and SOA records in Virtual Hosting Environment

Angeloio — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:35:12 +0000

Dear All,
We have a dedicated server and I have to set-up a virtual hosting environment where multiple domains will be set-up (with apache, mail servers and the rest) for my clients.
Because it is a shared-IP environment all zones will have records that will point to the shared IP.
My question is the following:
Each zone must have a SOA and a NS record (ok at least one NS…).
Must the SOA and NS record for each domain belong to the specific domain or should I set a specific domain and set up there the NS record that will be used by all the other domains.
For example: I have the domains example.com and test.com.
In their respective master zones the SOA and NS must be ns1.example.com and ns1.test.com respectively OR should I create a “central” domain mycompany.com set up there A records for ns1.mycompany.com and then use this entry in all the other domains:
e.g. test.com IN NS ns1.mycompany.com.
Is there any difference in the two approaches ? From the way I see it all domains all equivalent.

Many Thanks to all
