Yusuf's questions

I'm trying to write a rewrite rule for Zimbra, which will allow me to use a hostname to access the Zimbra Desktop Web UI instead of the IP address and port.

The default Zimbra URLs are like this:

http://127.0.0.1:port/?at=long-encrypted-user-id
http://127.0.0.1:port/zimbra/?at=long-encrypted-user-id
http://127.0.0.1:port/desktop/login.jsp?at=long-encrypted-user-id

Here's what I have till now:

server {
    server_name hostname;
    location / {
            proxy_redirect                   off;
            proxy_set_header Host            $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_pass                       http://127.0.0.1:port/;
    }
}

This only replaces http://hostname by http://127.0.0.1:port in the background; Where I'm stuck is adding the ?at=long-encrypted-user-id to the URLs. Can somebody help?

I have to redirect content on a webserver with a hostname (mydomain.com) from current IP (123.123.123.123) to a new IP (234.234.234.234), while keeping the same hostname, using .htaccess. How can I do that?

Is it possible to use a PostrgeSQL database in Windows and use the same one in Linux after rebooting? Will pointing the data folder to a common folder be sufficient?

I know I could test it and then see for myself, but if someone has a better idea, I'm all ears!

I have configured PHPMyAdmin on an Ubuntu Server to be accessible only from 127.0.0.1.

I am then trying to access it through an SSH tunnel, but I still obtain the Forbidden error.

When using SSH on the server, I can use Lynx to go to localhost/phpmyadmin; so I know it's working at least there.

The command I've used for the tunnel is ssh -L 8080:mysite.com:80 localhost.

I'm having quite a strange behavior with wget since yesterday.

I can download files by using sudo wget, but when I try the same file with only wget, I can get this error:

yusufh@ubuntu-yuh:~$ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

and with sudo wget:

After the comments below, here is an update:

I can use Google Chrome or Firefox perfectly without running it as root.

I use ntlmaps to connect to the office proxy. So I need to use 127.0.0.1:5865 as the proxy for clients.

Result for env | grep -i proxy:

NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local,
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
ftp_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
all_proxy=socks://127.0.0.1:5865/
ALL_PROXY=socks://127.0.0.1:5865/
https_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local

while sudo env | grep -i proxy is empty!

HELP!

I think the question is quite straightforward; is it possible, has anyone tried it, or does anyone know of any issues encountered when doing it?

Thanks,

Yusuf

At home, I have two routers, one Livebox and a Netgear. The reason why I need the Livebox is that the phone line cannot be connected to the Netgear router.

So I have the Livebox connected to the phone line, the Netgear connected to the Livebox, and all PCs connected to the Netgear.

My issue is that for every application or port that I want to give external access, I have to create entry in both the Livebox and the Netgear routers; so I would like to know if there's a way to automatically forward all requests to the Netgear router, from which I will then forward to the required IP:port.

Thanks in advance.

I have a home server, on which I have installed Apache, and several other applications that have a Web GUI (JDownloader, Free Download Manager).

In order to access each of these apps (whether be it from the local network or the Internet), I have to enter a different port, e.g.,

http://server:8085 or http://xxxx.dyndns.org:8085 for Apache  
http://server:90   or http://xxxx.dyndns.org:90   for FDM  
http://server:8081 or http://xxxx.dyndns.org:8081 for JDownloader

I would like to be able to access them using sub-domains, e.g,

http://apache.server      or http://apache.xxxx.dyndns.org      for Apache,
http://fdm.server         or http://fdm.xxxx.dyndns.org         for FDM,
http://jdownloader.server or http://jdownloader.xxxx.dyndns.org for JDownloader

First of all, would it be possible like I want it, i.e., both from LAN and Internet, and if yes, how? Even if it's possible only for Internet, I would like to know how to do it, if there's a way.
