Hi,

thansk for your excelent job .

what about the security ? is there a firewall ? a control center like webmim (somthing like that) ?

Bye

Thanks for creating this.

I was going to ask the same questions - "any firewalls, webmin etc planned"?

Also, if you want to see a test Puppy.org site running with Web server puppy LAMP -> http://puppy.prit.us. This site is a temporary test only and will be taken down soon.

Thanks puppymartin.

Yeah .. the router firewall can be a reasonable replacement for the Puppy firewall software. But, then sometimes you may need something like Iptables for creating more complex rules for better security.

To find out what a hacker can do, we need to run this setup as a public site for some period of time and the site has to be a pretty popular one.

Great distro puppymartin.
Some notes:
When I wanted to connect using pgprs it said one or more pgprs files missing, this happend to me few times when remastered puppy, it's because some files in /etc i think which disapear after remaster,
also note that says that you must create user for using pure-ftpd, well that's if you want to add more users you can already connect with user root passwd woofwoof and have access to all files on system right?

I tested some php apps, did a quick install of phpbb and wordpress, works like charm, really good job! A mini webserver in your pocket
When I'm online you can find my home server @ http://daysleeper.puppylinux.eu
or
http://puppy.rootshell.la

Hello,

Really Big Thanks to PuppyMartin

Downloaded the 97,388 meg ISO several weeks ago and just burned the CD, which started up perfectly on my NetVista 6280 (used Vesa driver not concerned with local graphics).

However I am such a newbie as to not know how to use it .. Duh!! Apoligize, I know this is a more complex forum, but asked about a webserver months ago an just stopped back by for a search and to see the Puppies Wonderful progress.

A) Would like to load this ISO to a dedicated hard drive so as not to use half of ram,-- Need some advice here

B) Currently have 7 separate site instances (using seven different ports) on an 8G USB stick (running xp on an Aptiva K6 64 meg with Pablo Software Babyweb) and would like to try and convert these operational web sites to this new Puppy derivative if that is possible. Would appreciate a yea or nay here.

C) If (B) is possible, would anyone hazard some instuctions to a fairly new Linux newbie as how to point server to file path and set ports for each site. Or is this a one instance server only ??

D) Almost forgot, the PC needs a static IP number dialed into it on boot

E) A firewall or incomming port ignore table would be great

Appreciate any and all comments
Thank You

Thank you for your post Prit1

Will work on transfering to HD, have managed to dual boot puppy 3 once upon a time, will go back to Newbie forum for instuctions here, thanks for letting me know it is possible and about the Firewall package too - one step at a time

Also, why do you want to serve different websites from different ports? Why can't you use the virtual hosts option provided by the server?
Hiawatha server can be configured to listen on different ports using BindingId (Binding configuration) and RequiredBinding (under Virtualhosts section). If you can state your actual scenario as requested above, we can try to find the best way to do it.

WoW Apoligize for lack of understanding, as this is a new concept to me.
Conceptually, maybe think I understand,
lets see paraphrase -- Server basically is loaded once, within this main server software - compartmentalization can occurr -- to listen on many ports and sort (unique) the html path to correspond to each of the desired listening ports.

Each website is unrelated to others, and can be start/stopped, or terminated in control panel independantly.
The simple MS DOS / windows based software i'm using does not have a mode like "virtual"

Can you give more information of your sites? Do you access them like this: - http://site1.com:80, http://site2.com:81 .. and so on? Also, do they run plain HTML or PHP or something else?

My sites are mostly simple html with some css and java, but do want to expand and experiment with more complex sites- eventually - if i live long enough ;).
An internal network IP, like 192.168.1.234 is specified for the machine, each website and server resides within a unique directory. A batch file is run to start each directory server with the port number. (each server has an INI file)
The router transfers each server internal IP with port number to the main ISP IP for external access -- 192.168.1.234:2173 > http://qw.ert.yui.sdf:2173 Externally, all that needs to be changed is the port number. http://qw.ert.yui.sdf:2462


Hope this clarifies the action a bit

Thank You

Hello

Thanks for the config and manual website -
This is exciting!! Believe I can do this --
Hiawatha is a very complex webserver - After I get this running, must figure out how to update to 6.16 as it has an attack recognition capability.
Hiawatha also has CGI support Although all my Java is client based - it may be capable of running server side Java (If not now, most likely in future).

Quote from home page news -
Hiawatha 6.16 has been released. This release contains several bugfixes, so it's definitely worth the update. The main Hiawatha configuration file called httpd.conf has been renamed to hiawatha.conf. With that step, the last resemblance with the webserver-that-must-not-be-named is gone.
