Cloudflare – ban country with .htaccess

Apache, CloudFlare, , , ,

One of my clients asked me to BAN an specific country to one of his sites.
Since we have Cloudflare, this is how I made it…

On .htaccess I’v simply added the following lines – on the top of .htaccess -.

SetEnvIf CF-IPCountry IN BuzzOff=1
SetEnvIf CF-IPCountry PT BuzzOff=1
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=BuzzOff

But remember!
Domain/subdomain must have Cloudflare active on DNS settings…

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! 🙂

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

Apache, Linux, PHP, Ubuntu, Wordpress

This new server with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS cames with PHP 7.0.

The backup that I have from my client has some old WordPress blogs…

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

I need to downgrade PHP 7.0 to PHP 5.6, at least for now.

Before you procede with the tutorial on the following link, and if you are running a new Ubuntu 16 installation you might get upon the following error while following the tutorial.

root@sd-4XXXX:/home/httpd/html# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

To install add-apt-repository you will need to run the following command

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Now the solution  How can I downgrade from PHP 7 to PHP 5.6 on Ubuntu 16.04? [duplicate].

 

Apache / PHP – End of script output before headers

Apache, cPanel, Linux, PHP

 

[Thu May 12 03:14:41.562083 2016] [core:error] [pid 25726] [client 68.71.XXX.XXX:44611] End of script output before headers: manage.php
[Thu May 12 03:14:41.697026 2016] [:error] [pid 26855] [client 84.91.XXX.XXX:60222] SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File “/home/rocker/public_html/system/manage.php” is writeable by group

I had to set the file to 755.

As seen on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17583341/error-500-premature-end-of-script-headers

cannot read directory for multi:

Apache

While I was setting up a CGI directory I was getting the following error

[Tue May 03 01:22:11.274857 2016] [negotiation:error] [pid 2625] (13)Permission denied: [client 84.91.XXX.XXX:49530] AH00686: cannot read directory for multi: /var/www/domain.com/, referer: http://domain.com/

This solved me the issue….

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/domain.com/cgi-bin/
 <Directory /var/www/domain.com/>
   AllowOverride None
   Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

Invalid command ‘UserDir’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Apache

 

root@71796:/home/# service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2 [fail]
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com.conf:
Invalid command 'UserDir', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

Solution?
Enable usedir.

sudo a2enmod userdir

Then restart apache 🙂
