Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request

Apache

 

AH00687: Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request: /home/httpd/html/domain.com/public_html/login (None could be negotiated)., referer: http://www.domain.com/

Under the domain.com.conf I had

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

The solution is to remove MultiViews from it.

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

discourse – htpasswd protected

Apache

discour-apache-htpasswd

I have client who *needs* discourse under a subdomain that should be only accessed by users who have a valid username & password in a .htpasswd….
Since discourse doesn’t use Apache I had to implement Apache ProxyPass  to solve this ‘issue’…

This is how it looks…

<VirtualHost *:80>

 ServerName social.subdomain.com

 ProxyPreserveHost Off
 ProxyPass / http://192.241.XXX.XX/
 ErrorLog /data/logs/discourse_error.log

 <Location />
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Only for members"
   AuthBasicProvider file
   AuthUserFile "/path/to/.htpasswd"
   Require valid-user
 </Location>

</VirtualHost>

This might not be the best solution….. comments are appreciated! 🙂

discourse & cloudflare – show real users IP address

CloudFlare, Linux,

Discourse has a recent (5month old?) template to handle with this.

Lets add   – “templates/cloudflare.template.yml” to our templates scheme…

nano containers/app.yml

Save it and rebuild the app! 🙂

./launcher rebuild app

Discourse – email and Job exception: Net::ReadTimeout

Hosting, Linux, Sh*ts

 

Email

For a Discourse instance to function properly Email must be set up. Use the SMTP_URL env var to set your SMTP address, see sample templates for an example. The Docker image does not contain postfix, exim or another MTA, it was omitted because it is very tricky to set up correctly.

Yah! Discourse doesn’t came with any MTA (mail transfer agent).
I had to install Postfix so that Discourse could send out emails.

My emails weren’t getting delivered…
I was getting the following error on discourse logs(/var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log)….

Job exception: Net::ReadTimeout

After a few tweaks… I got it working…
This is my /var/discourse/containers/app.yml excerpt….

## TODO: List of comma delimited emails that will be made admin and developer
 ## on initial signup example '[email protected],[email protected]'
 DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: '[email protected]'

Rebuild the APP
