SchoolTool as default page on apache server

Asked by Romano

Hi all

Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1
SchoolTool 2.8.4

I managed to re-direct the URL http://schooltool.germansaturdayschool.org.au to the Ubuntu server that runs our SchoolTool.

However it just loads the default Apache page.
I understand that this is correct and that there must be a proxy re-direct on my server.

I tried to follow the instructions...
http://book.schooltool.org/apache.html#apache

... but can not get it to work.

Is it possible to use webmin to get this done?
On the sample code for the virtual host I replaced ever "school.example.org" with "schooltool.germansaturdayschool.org.au"
is this correct?

I rebooted apache and in fact the server x times.
This made no difference.

Can somebody help with this?
Regards Romano

Perhaps you could add apache configuration code in a comment?

  # SSL Engine Options:
  # Set various options for the SSL engine.
  # o FakeBasicAuth:
  # Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation. This means that

  # Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
  # file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
  # o ExportCertData:
  # This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
  # SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the
  # server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client
  # authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates
  # into CGI scripts.
  # o StdEnvVars:
  # This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.
  # Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,
  # because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually
  # useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the
  # exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
  # o OptRenegotiate:
  # This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
  # directives are used in per-directory context.

    SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

  # SSL Protocol Adjustments:
  # The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
  # approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
  # the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
  # approach you can use one of the following variables:
  # o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
  # This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
  # SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates
  # the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
  # this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
  # mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
  # o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
  # This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
  # SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
  # alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
  # practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
  # this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
  # works correctly.
  # Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
  # keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
  # keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
  # Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
  # their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
  # "force-response-1.0" for this.
  BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
    nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
    downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
  # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive
  BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

What files (symlinks) are listed in your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory?

You probably just need to disable the default configuration file (sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf)

Thank you very much for your help!

What files (symlinks) are listed in your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory?
Only one file:
000-default.conf

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf <----- this is a command correct?

I am using the Ubuntu server only via the Webmin interface.
I had a look around for something like Terminal on the Mac... no go.
There is a SSH Login but that is Java driven and it is blocked for some security reason.

Do I need to delete the 000-default.conf in the sites-available directory?

Regards
Romano

Ok. Having just that file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled is the reason why you see the default Apache page. You need to disable that and enable the schooltool.germansaturdayschool.org.au.txt config file. And yes "sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf" is a command to disable an Apache site.

I have no experience with Webmin, but you can probably find how to enable/disable sites (or virtualhosts) in its documentation.

http://book.schooltool.org/apache.html#apache

I finally was able to run the commands as in above.

Now I got rid of the default apache page when loading the default page.
Instead I get "Service Unavailable. (http://203.143.84.237)

I can still go to SchoolTool via the explicit http://203.143.84.237:7080.

Can anybody give me some more hints...

Assuming you only have your SchoolTool virtualhost enabled, what's in your /var/log/apache2/error.log file?

Hi Romano.

Sorry for the delay in reviewing your log. Were you able to fix the issue?

From these lines in your error log:

Fri Aug 07 10:29:49.866669 2015] [proxy:error] [pid 9670] (111)Connection refused: AH00957: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:7080 (*) failed

it seems like SchoolTool was not started.

Had to play around with this...
fixed it with this:

      order allow,deny
      allow from all
      deny from none
