[users@httpd] httpd on Debian

Hi all.

I have successfully been setting up secure-webdav based shared on Fedora.

However, when I try to do the same for Debian squeeze, I see  the structure
of files are very different.

                      * The file "/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" is empty !!
                      * The file "/etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf" is
also different; it has no "VirtualHost" definition, and no definitions for
"SSLCertificateFile" and "SSLCertificateKeyFile".


Any pointers as to how may I proceed? Should I simply copy the things from
the Fedora-versions; or there is some basic difference in configurations on
Debian?


Will be grateful for some quicky pointers :)  .. especially, the approach I
should follow on Debian.



Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Assuming your WebDAV is in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-biblioteca
the answer is no, it is only configured to be listening on port 80,
as opposed to port 443 which is what you were testing.

Alex,

this is the output, when I run the command "apache2ctl -S" on my Debian VM
(guest machine), hosted on a Fedora-14 machine ::

###############################################################################
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:443                  127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:48)
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server ceibal.uy (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
         port 80 namevhost ceibal.uy(/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
         port 80 namevhost
biblioteca.ceibal.edu.uy(/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-biblioteca:3)
###############################################################################


So, what does this indicate? Is the WebDAV configured correctly at least?

If yes, then I just need to figure out the remote access thing (i.e.
accessing webdav shares from the host machine, Fedora-14, via firefox) :-)


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

It means nothing is listening on port 443 of your localhost address.
That does not preclude it listening on port 443 of your ethernet
address.

Try
  apache2ctl -S

which will tell you the hosts apache think's it has configured, and
have a look at your logs.

(httpd -S requires other stuff to be set up on Debian)

Thanks Alex.

I think that I configured the webdav correctly, since after a lot of huffs
and puffs, I could get "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" working correctly on
the Debian server machine.


But then, I tried (on the Debian webdav server machine) ::


##################################################################
                       [ajay@localhost Effective C++]$ telnet
                       telnet> open 127.0.0.1 443
                       Trying 127.0.0.1...
                       telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection
refused
                       telnet>

##################################################################


Does that mean that the webdav is still not properly configured/started? Or
it could be a false negative?

Anyways, I have been stuck at a pinging issue, so I am not anyways able to
access the webdav share via firefox, as detailed at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4772907#post4772907


Any further help will be gratefully appreciated :)


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Essentially the Debian/Ubuntu setup is not to use a big long config
but to include the contents of directories.

On Debian, you probably want to put everything into your
 sites-available/my-site-name
file (create one if it isn't there) then do
 a2ensite my-site-name
and
 /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

You may need to
 a2dissite default

The directives are all the same (it's just where they are that
differs).
