Apache Server troubleshooting
I'm having issues getting apache to respond to requests outside of my local LAN. If I goto my server URL (www .poillion. com) it says connecting... but never finishes and returns anything.
I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.10.
a) The DNS is working fine. It's pointed to my cable modem's IP and ping responds fine.
b) The apache server is setup and is working locally. In fact, if I use w3m and goto www .poillion. com I reach the test page perfectly.
I can't figure out where the missing piece is to close this gap. Here are some config files to illustrate my setup:
hostname
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/hosts
Quote:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 poillion
(along with ipv6 ones)
Note: I had my LAN IP and cable modem IP both setup in here as www .poillion.com and that didn't work.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/poillion
Quote:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www. poillion. com
ServerAlias *.poillion.com
ServerAlias *.willpoillion.com
ServerAdmin will@poillion. com
DocumentRoot /home/www
<Directory />
Options -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/www/>
Options +Indexes +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +MultiViews +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/poillion_error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel debug
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/poillion_access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Any help diagnosing would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

gsexec
GSEXEC(8) GridSite Manual GSEXEC(8)
NAME
gsexec - Switch user before executing external programs
SYNOPSIS
gsexec [-V]
SUMMARY
gsexec is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this, it must run as
root. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't run as root, the gsexec executable needs the setuid bit set and must be owned by root. It
should never be writable for any other person than root.
gsexec is based on Apache's suexec, and its behaviour is controlled with the Apache configuration file directives GridSiteExecMethod and
GridSiteUserGroup added to Apache by mod_gridsite(8) Four execution methods are supported: nosetuid, suexec, X509DN and directory, and
these may be set on a per-directory basis within the Apache configuration file.
NOSETUID METHOD
This is the default behaviour, but can also be produced by giving GridSiteExecMethod nosetuid
CGI programs will then be executed without using gsexec, and will run as the Unix user given by the User and Group Apache directives (nor-
mally apache.apache on Red Hat derived systems.)
SUEXEC METHOD
If GridSiteExecMethod suexec is given for this virtual host or directory, then CGI programs will be executed using the user and group given
by the GridSiteUserGroup user group directive, which may also be set on a per-directory basis (unlike suexec's SuexecUserGroup which is
per-server only.) The CGI program must either be owned by root, the Apache user and group specified at gsexec build-time (normally
apache.apache) or by the user and group given with the GridSiteUserGroup directive.
X509DN METHOD
If GridSiteExecMethod X509DN is given, then the CGI program runs as a pool user, detemined using lock files in the exec mapping directory
chosen as build time of gsexec. The pool user is chosen according to the client's full certificate X.509 DN (ie with any trailing GSI
proxy name components stripped off.) Subsequent requests by the same X.509 identity will be mapped to the same pool user. The CGI program
must either be owned by root, the Apache user and group specified at gsexec build-time (normally apache.apache) or by the pool user
selected.
DIRECTORY METHOD
If GridSiteExecMethod directory is given, then the CGI program runs as a pool user chosen according to the directory in which the CGI is
located: all CGIs in that directory run as the same pool user. The CGI program must either be owned by root, the Apache user and group
specified at gsexec build-time (normally apache.apache) or by the pool user selected.
EXECMAPDIR
The default exec mapping directory is /var/www/execmapdir and this is fixed when the gsexec executable is built. The exec mapping directory
and all of its lock files must be owned and only writable by root. To initialise the lock files, create an empty lock file for each pool
user, with the pool username as the filename (eg user0001, user0002, ...) As the pool users are leased to X.509 identities or directories,
they will become hard linked to lock files with the URL-encoded X.509 DN or full directory path.
You can recycle pool users by removing the corresponding URL-encoded hard link. stat(1) and ls(1) with option -i can be used to print the
inodes of lock files to match up the hard links.
However, you must ensure that all files and processes owned by the pool user are deleted before recycling!
OPTIONS
-V If you are root, this option displays the compile options of gsexec. For security reasons all configuration options are changeable
only at compile time.
MORE INFORMATION
