modcfgldap-users — User support

Re: [modcfgldap-users] Status of project

[Andreas B. <ma...@an...>]

Hi Stephen,

the project isn't active any more. I don't even know if the module works
with recent Apache versions.

If you want to pick up development of the module I'd happily hand over
the SourceForge project to you.

Regards,
Andreas

[modcfgldap-users] Status of project

[Stephen L. <st...@li...>]

Hey folks,

Sourceforge noted that there hasn't been any new commits since about 
five years ago. Whats the status of this project? I was really 
interested in using it since I ran across it in the Mandriva RPM 
database. Is there a list of bugs that I should be aware of if I wanted 
to use it? Is there any intent on supporting it in the future?

Thanks,
Stephen

hello list

i've two question.

how can i store the attribute=20
php_admin_value open_basedir ....

in ldap ?

if this possible ?

and the next one is

i've added the schema to my ldap server

but if i want add the following ldif file

dn: cn=3Dwww.test.lan, ...
objectclass: ApacheSectionObj
objectclass: ApacheVirtualHostObj
ApacheSectionName: VirtualHost
ApacheSectionArg: *
ApacheServerName: fubar
ApacheDocumentRoot: /some/dir

i get the error

ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)
        additional info: ApacheSectionName: attribute type undefined


and if i try it with this example

dn: VH=3Dfubar, ou=3DApache, dc=3Djustkidding
objectclass: ApacheSectionObj
ApacheSectionName: VirtualHost
ApacheSectionArg: 192.168.1.1

[modcfgldap-users] Apache 1.3 support

[Turbo F. <tu...@ba...>]

Could someone with experiences in making modules
for BOTH Apache v2.x and 1.3 see if they can make
the module compile for Apache version 1.3?

I can't/won't upgrade just yet, but I'd like to try out
ModCFGLDAP again (I tried an old version which didn't
work very well for me).

[modcfgldap-users] Re: modcfgldap-users digest, Vol 1 #8 - 1 msg

[Zen I. <co...@ze...>]

I've miss a thing ! To use this contrib you must modify Apache LogFormat and
CustomLog directives to use extended format (See %V parameter)

LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
extended
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log extended

Bye

[modcfgldap-users] A New modcfgldap contrib ;)

[Zen I. <co...@ze...>]

Hi,

I've made a logfile spliter for modcfgldap. This perl script search  for
apacheServerName and apacheServerAlias attributes in the ldap directory and
split the main apache access logfile per vhost.

This contrib contains an Awstats < http://awstats.sourceforge.net > vhosts
config example !

You could download it from
ftp://ftp3.zeninteractif.com/modcfgldap-split-logfile_0.1.tar.gz

[modcfgldap-users] unofficial changes on mod_cfg_ldap...

[Zen I. <co...@ze...>]

I've done few changes on the module  :

- Update Ldap Schema file  (I've indexed apache attributes in slapd.conf for
improve performance)
- Add support for error.log per vhost
- Add a new environment variable called SERVER_ROOT
  that contains vhost document_root. DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable
seems to be readonly.

I would like to add support for customLog but I don't found the appropriate
method and header. Maybe mod_config.h.
May anyone could give me a hand.

- I would like to add support for LDAP SSL/TLS connection
- Support for SSL certificate stored in directly in LDAP.

Re: [modcfgldap-users] Ldap Vhost DocumentRoot problem ...

[Allie M. <al...@pa...>]

 > It seems that DocumentRoot variable is not updated.
 > I've tried to read this variable inside a php script.

I abandoned using modcfgldap for this very reason :(

This appears to be a limitation set by apache itself and that variable 
is not change-able.  This behavior also shows up using the mass 
VirtualHosting module.  I modified apache's source to change this 
behavior, and Bad Things Happened.

Because my installation only has apache dealing with a few hundred 
VirtualHosts at a time, using this external module turned out to be a 
pretty expensive operation compared to using conf files.  Even with 
caching set to a high value, the dependency on LDAP and and the frequent 
  queries made it all rather cumbersome.  I suspect that if I were 
running thousands of vhosts then a module like this would "pay for 
itself" by using less memory.

So I ended up deciding to do this in my httpd.conf:

Include vhosts.conf

And I run a script out of cron to generate the vhosts.conf file using 
the LDAP data and reload apache if necessary.  Works pretty well and is 
much more flexible.  DocumentRoot is set properly and I can also set 
other Apache and PHP variables in the generated file (logfile 
directives, open_basedir, temp_dir, include_dir, user and group, etc.)

[modcfgldap-users] Ldap Vhost DocumentRoot problem ...

[Zen I. <co...@ze...>]

Hi

It seems that DocumentRoot variable is not updated.
I've tried to read this variable inside a php script.

Php return me the main DocumentRoot variable ( /var/www ) instead of the
current Vhost root  (ex: /home/vhosts/mydomain.com/www )

ServerName seems to return the good value
ServerAdmin is null

My scripts require this environement variable for working well

Best regards

Sébastien

Also support for suEXEC would be good.

I'm about to deploy mod_vhost_ldap in a production environment, am also
interested in adding stuff. Possibly we could co-operate for the features we
need? (shared osCommerce hosting environment is mostly what I'll be using this
for)

[modcfgldap-users] About mod_cfg_ldap ...

[Zen I. <co...@ze...>]

Hi,

I'm a new user of mod_cfg_ldap.
I've searched for a very long time for this kind of module.
It's great !

I think that I will do a debian package soon !

Few comments about your modules :
- objectClass apacheConfig could be
"SUP top STRUCTURAL" instead of  "SUP to AUXILIARY"
I've got few problems to create my LDAP entry with AUXILIARY.
- Support for Logfile (access, error) per virtualhost.
- Support for SSL

May I could help you in your project.
I'm a newbie in apache module but I've got experience in ldap.

Best regards.

Sébastien.

[modcfgldap-users] module load error

[Linda <li...@no...>]

Hi,

I am install mod_cfg_ldap-1.1 on RedHat9. When I start httpd, I will get =
the following error.

[Tue May 25 22:56:51 2004] [warn] cfg_ldap: unknown ldap error 49


my config as below:
<IfModule mod_cfg_ldap.c>
    EnableCfgLdap on
    CfgLdapServer "127.0.0.1"
    #CfgLdapBindDN "cn=3DManager,dc=3Ddomain,dc=3Dtld"
    #CfgLdapCredentials "password"
    CfgLdapBaseDN "ou=3Dwebhosting,dc=3Dlinda,dc=3Dnet"
        # if you don't want to use any filter just keep the following
    #CfgLdapFilter "(objectClass=3DapacheConfig)"
    # otherwise you could filter based on cosine.schema's ARecord
    # CfgLdapFilter "(|(ARecord=3D127.0.0.1)(ARecord=3D127.0.0.2))"
    CfgLdapCacheTTL 60
</IfModule>


If I enable CfgLdapBindDB/CfgLdapCredentials, I still got the error.
Starting httpd: [Tue May 25 23:14:37 2004] [warn] module cfg_ldap_module =
is already loaded, skipping


Would some one tell me how to fix this problem? Can anyone mail me the =
ldif sample? After configing every virtual hosting, do i need to restart =
httpd everytime?


Thanks!!

[modcfgldap-users] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[modcfgldap-users] [modcfgldap-announce] new 1.1 release

[Andreas B. <ma...@an...>]

Hi,

I just released version 1.1 of mod_cfg_ldap.

New in this release is the addition of a user-defined search filter that
is used during LDAP queries. Now you can have different Apache servers only
use a portion of all configured vhosts by filtering based on any=20
attribute. Using for example the ARecord attribute of cosine.schema you
could have server A on IP 172.16.1.1 and server B on IP 172.16.1.2. On
server A you would use a filter like (ARecord=3D172.16.1.1) and have all
of its vhosts in the LDAP directory use the structural dnsDomain object
and an ARecord entry with that IP.

If you wanted a vhost to be served by both servers you'd only have to
add two ARecords with both IPs.

Using (objectClass=3DapacheConfig) will effectively not filter at all as
all vhost entries have that objectClass.

Please direct any usage questions to the -users mailing list.

Regards,
Andreas

[Modcfgldap-users] FIX: Alias and ScriptAlias

[Allie M. <al...@pa...>]

I tracked down a similar bug for mod_vhost_alias:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8853

I managed to get mod_cfg_ldap to work as expected by applying changes 
similar to what's in this patch to mod_alias.c and mod_cfg_alias.c

The other thing I changed was adding the new DocumentRoot to the notes 
table in mod_cfg_ldap.  I then had to modify 
apache/server/util_script.c to use the note, if it existed, rather than 
the default value provided by ap_document_root().  I needed this for 
certain hosted PHP scripts.

I must say I'm pretty annoyed at having to hack away at apache source 
to make these things work, but I don't suppose this is the correct 
forum for these complaints.  I can make these patches available but 
they're tiny and not 100% related to mod_cfg_ldap.  Still, a valuable 
FYI.

Thanks a lot,

[Modcfgldap-users] Alias and other directives

[Allie M. <al...@pa...>]

Thanks for writing mod_cfg_ldap!  I love the promise of being able to 
maintain Virtual hosting information in LDAP.

The first thing I'm noticing is that my LDAP-hosted VirtualHosts do not 
appear to be cognizant of other httpd.conf settings.  For example, the 
"Alias /icons/ /path/to/icons/" from the global configuration works 
fine in "manual" virtualhosts but goes missing in LDAP-hosted ones.

I'll look into it further - but am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
