most free webhosts will allow an .htaccess file, which can be used to
configure apache to use custom error pages.
Their "file manager" won't show the .htaccess [ the '.' is part of the
file name and tells *nix systems it's a hidden file ] file though, and
may not allow for you to overwrite it, but it should allow the overwrite.

Stopping a form processing if size of file is too big with Apache.

Hello,
I have a POST form into which I allow the user to upload an image file
png, flash, gif, jpg.

Is there anything I can do with Apache involving artificially
stopping the upload after receiving enough bytes to constitute the
image header, and then deciding whether or not to proceed with the
upload at that point and if the file does meet the size parameters then
continue with the upload, if not then just return an error, advising the
user that the file is too big.

I don't want to use client-side application as this I think is not the
right way to do it, plus the fact that it may infringe on the privacy
i.e. my script reading the size file on the client computer. Maybe I am
wrong?

Any one with advise on how others approach this issue?

Cheers

Norman

The LimitRequestBody directive 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody
might do what you need.

It will stop an oversize upload after reading HTTP headers if the client 
includes a Content-Length header with the request.

Even without a Content-Length header it will still stop the request once 
the limit is reached, so users cannot upload oversize files.

For uploads which are too large, Apache returns a 413 
HTTP_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE response:

"The requested resource {URI} does not allow request data with {METHOD} 
requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the 
capacity limit."

performance and mod_deflate optimization

Hi,

I'm trying to optimize speed by using mod_deflate
on a particular personal server. It runs Apache
httpd 2.052+ and PHP Version 5.1.6, with eaccellerator,
on Linux 2.6.9-023stab033.6 SMP kernel for CentOS 4.5.

Roughly, it serves 5 websites, combined they get
about 1 real human visit each second in total
(excluding redirected hits, blocked spammers/IPs/robots/spiders).
One of the sites is behind SSL, for squirrelmail webmail.
Most filetypes it serves are php (flatfile non-mysql weblogs),
a few text and .htm* files, a very small cgi-script here and there
(and a couple of imagefiles, avi's and mp3's, but not very much).
Bandwidth/traffic are no problem factors for this server, it runs
with a 100 mbit NIC to the net, and I can use it wide-open.
Currently it uses about 210 MB of DDR3, and I have at least
another 128 MB of RAM left, and CPU also has room to do more.

From the current httpd.conf :

# added gzip for mod_deflate:
#<Location />
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|wav|mp3|ogg|bmp|avi|mpg)$ no-gzip dont-vary
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
DeflateCompressionLevel 5
DeflateMemLevel 9
DeflateWindowSize 14
#</Location>
#AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml

(When I uncomment the Location tags, Apache won't start.
Haven't figured out why, but doesn't seem to matter,
since I'm running it for all the sites anyway.)

This httpd.conf has had a pretty long life, so I forgot
much of what I've changed over the years. But I was
wondering how I could better load speeds for php webpages
using mod_deflate, and also, handy pointers on how to best
measure this perhaps, although I don't have very much
time to spend on that. I just wonder if any of you
sees really strange or bad general config values.

For that I'm posting some other more or less
crucial values from the same conf:

Those last ones I'm still experimenting with.

This server doesn't really suffer from DDoS attacks often.

Any advice or improvements highly appreciated.

Re: Application using Apache and URL schema inquiry

Thanks for the response. The users don't have any accounts on the 
application web server(s). Their username is just how I currently 
identify each user through a unique URL. The web content should be the 
same for all users, they just need to each connect to a separate database.

setting ORACLE_HOME

Hi,

I am trying to install Oracle XE to run PHP scripts. I have read that it
is preferable to set ORACLE_HOME before starting Apache instead of using
putenv() in the PHP script. I have tried the recommended script.

ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export ORACLE_HOME
echo "Oracle Home: $ORACLE_HOME"
echo Starting Apache
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Unfortunately this does not work and I still have to use putenv(). I am
using PHP as a cgi.

How can I get this to work?
