UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello there,

I installed Ajaxterm on my Ubuntu 9.04 machine, and it's running ok if I use :

Code:

http://localhost:8022/

in my broswer. This is the problem , it can only be accessed localy. If I want to access it through internet from another computer, it fails. I've read the tutorials on how to modify the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file, and what other things to do to make it work, but with no success. I want to be able to acces it using

Code:

http://localhost/

or http://my_ip , but how on earth ?I've tried all the possible ways of modifing the settings in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file, none of them worked.
Is there anyone out there who succeded in making this thing work ?If yes please show me the content of the configuration file (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default) .


With many thanks,
wosis

Mew wosis.. I'm also having such a hard time. Maybe together this can be solved . I've tried posting on other forums as well with no replies so far. Paws crossed for us

I'm running: Linux Debian / apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-10+lenny2
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server at ********* Port 80

I just can not get this to work via browser:
"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again."

Please if anyone can help or point to a place that can, thank you. Almost 2 weeks trying my best to solve this and just can't figure it out. I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AjaxTerm plus all sorts of other fixes I have read. I first tried the wget method using readme.txt and that was even more unsuccessful.

These are the steps I have done:
a2enmod proxy_http
apt-get install ajaxterm
/etc/init.d/ajaxterm start
It replied: Starting web based terminal: ajaxterm
pico /etc/ssh/ssh_config
//uncomment: PasswordAuthentication yes
cd /
mkdir /srv/ajaxterm
cd /srv/ajaxterm
htpasswd -cm /srv/ajaxterm/.htpasswd MyName
typed in pass...

pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl
This section had this:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

<Directory />

Changed it to:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/u" dontlog
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
Loglevel warn

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AuthUserFile /srv/ajaxterm/.htpasswd
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Order Deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8022/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8022/

<Directory />

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
loaded fine...
/etc/init.d/ajaxterm start

I try going to: https://mysite.com:8022 and get error: The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

I do this: netstat -antp
I think this is the ajaxterm that on the list:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8022 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25926/python

When I do cmd: ps x , I don't see it on the list of processes running, but I see many of these nmbd things that I don't think I saw before:

13587 ? Ss 0:07 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
13589 ? Ss 0:08 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
13590 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
5333 ? S 0:00 [pdflush]
14779 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
25819 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
26146 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
26344 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D

When I issue the cmd:
ajaxterm
Reply I get is:
AjaxTerm at http://localhost:8022/
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 1, in bind

And then I'm just left in this blank window... that I don't know how to quit.
----------
I read to do this: wget -O- -np https://localhost:8022
The reply I got was:

I see in my /var/log/apache2/error.log

Also I noticed:
1.) That when I go to any URL on my site it brings me to the AjaxTerm login page! It seems the entire site has been redirected to the AjaxTerm.
2.) Furthermore I only got that to load when after several attempts of trying my normal name/pass for the site didn't work I thought to try the pass I set for AjaxTerm in steps above.. that worked.
3.) And when I do try to login to the AjaxTerm window I type in name, hit enter, it returns back to Login. Never ask for pass.. as if login name isn't correct..
4.) when I do: netstat -antp Instead of just one listing on port 8022 there are now many:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8022 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25926/python

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8022 127.0.0.1:1024 TIME_WAIT -

And many listings with server ip on port 443

5.) I do this: /etc/init.d/ajaxterm stop
It replied: Stopping web based terminal: ajaxterm.
& then: /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Entire site is still redirected to the AjaxTerm page

Though I still have error when I try to go http://mysite.com:8022

I've commented/hashed the new entries on pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl and my site is working again. (still a ton of strange entries under netstat -antp)


So question is not only to get that to work
but to get it stop redirecting entire site to it.

Thank you so much for your time!
