Lode's questions

Since I put up a new javascript file on my server a few days ago I've been getting strange 404's logs. It seems that some Java user-agent clashes with some part of the jQuery (1.6.2). I send an automated email whenever someone hits a 404 and I send along the server variable.

The http_user_agent is Java/1.4.1_04 and the request_uri is the following:

/frontend/js/,data:c,complete:function(a,b,c){c=a.responseText,a.isResolved()&&(a.done(function(a){c=a}),i.html(g?f(

And directly after that:

/frontend/js/]};bf.optgroup=bf.option,bf.tbody=bf.tfoot=bf.colgroup=bf.caption=bf.thead,bf.th=bf.td,f.support.htmlSerialize||(bf._default=[1,

Both parts of javascript can be found back in the minified source of jQuery. The /frontend/js/ is the path to my javascript files.

I've just read two similar questions on StackOverflow (1 and 2), but both don't have any solutions. I will comment there as well, but I was wondering if here might be more people having the same issue, and solved it.

Anyone having a clue?

In my root domain I have an .htaccess to redirect non-www to the www, and to redirect to a subdirectory (containing a temporary website). This is done using the following code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# non-www to www, exclude localhost
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} \.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

# temp redir to subdir-wordpress
RewriteRule ^$ /subdir [L]

In the subdirectory runs a Wordpress setup using the following .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdir/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdir/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

What happens is that people get redirected to http://domain.com/subdir, while I want them to end up at http://www.domain.com/subdir. I tested with curl and noticed that it redirects with these steps:

1. domain.com => www.domain.com
2. www.domain.com => www.domain.com/subdir
3. www.domain.com/subdir => domain.com/subdir

So the .htaccess in the root dir seems to work fine. But the automated Wordpress .htaccess seems to destroy my hard work :-)

Anyone knows how I can modify the Wordpress .htaccess so it does work?

VSFTP is set up and I want users not to go into other directories then their /home. I've set:

chroot_local_user=YES

But it doesn't seem to work (after restarting).

Could it be that I have the wrong config file? Or is there other settings or ways of logging in that skip this config line?

Edit: Together with someone else I found that the vsftp was not at all the server listening to the port.. Therefor, I didn't see my changes reflected. Solved the problem somewhere else thus.

Still, the answers below might solve the problem for others who have this.

I have a single application/service that I need to run on Windows. It will serve as a public application, kind of like a webserver (users connect to it using a browser), and needs to server up to hundreds of (web)users. Further the application uses a MySQL database.

First I found Windows Server Web, although it felt a bit too much only aimed at IIS (which I don't need?). But later I found Windows Server Foundation which looks like fit for the job.

I question a bit if I can serve a lot of webusers with it. It says to limit to 15 users, but I guess that is about actual users on the Windows system, and I think the webusers are more like 'connections' for Windows?

Further I noticed that it doesn't support subdomains. Does that mean I won't be able to set it up with a sub.domain.com or that I only won't be able to that when I also want the domain.com on the same server?

Are there any other limitations I should keep in mind? Or should I go for another server product?
