URL rewriting

A rewrite engine is software that modifies a web URL's appearance (URL rewriting). Rewritten URLs (sometimes known as short, fancy URLs, or search engine friendly - SEF) are used to provide shorter and more relevant-looking links to web pages. The technique adds a degree of separation between the files used to generate a web page and the URL that is presented to the world.


Examples

This URL contains query string parameters that encode blog entry dates

http://www.example.com/Blog/Posts.php?Year=2006&Month=12&Day=19

but can be altered to give the user a clear idea of what he or she is going to see

http://www.example.com/Blog/2006/12/19/

The second address also allows the user to change the URL to see all postings available in December, simply by removing the text encoding the day '19', and thereby saving having to navigate the GUI.


http://www.example.com/Blog/2006/12/

Setup YUM repository on HTTP

Hi,

Many times we need to give access to YUM repository to our clients browsing through www!
Lets assume you need to setup YUM repository on HTTP and clients will download RPM's from this http yum repository

client --> Downloads RPM's --> http://ip/Server --> YUM REPOSITORY on SERVER

Server Side :

1) Copy Server folder from Red Hat dvd into /var/www/html
2) If you don't have www folder in var it means you have not installed "httpd" daemon
3) Install it! (Am not gonaa tell you in this article about installing RPM)
4) If you don't hace "createrepo" installed then install it!
5) Go to directory in which u have copied Server directory
6) Fire-up command : createrepo Server
7) Now! start httpd daemon :
  • service httpd start
  • chkconfig httpd on



Client Side :

1) Go to /etc/yum.repos.d
2) cp rhel-debug-info.repo myrepo.repo
3) Edit file myrepo.repo
  • [Server]
  • baseurl=http://serverip/Server
  • enabled=1
  • gpgchec=0
  • #gpgkey . . . . . . . (# comment is imp)
4) Fire-up :
  • service yum-updatesd restart
  • chkconfig yum-updatesd on
  • yum clean all
5) Thats it! Now you can install rpm from http yum repository

Test it : yum install httpd*


Happy Linux!

Create YUM Repository on FTP Server

Hi,

Finally got relief coz my YUM repository is now ready to be accessible by my clients! If u r a Linux administrator or geeks this article is not for u and its for newbies who wanted to know about it!
Thnak You!

Here am not gonaa explain what is YUM , what is REPOSITORY , and WHAT IS FTP Server

Here am gonna explain setting up FTP Server , setting up YUM Repository , accessing YUM Repository.

1) Setting up FTP Server

  • You need to have "vsftpd" demon started if not then u must install vsftpd rpm from your Red hat cd .
  • Navigate to /media/CDROM/Server
  • rpm -ivh vsftpd* ( Installs vsftpd demon)
  • Now you can see /var/ftp/pub directory if installation goes well.
  • You need to create YUM Repository on FTP so copy "Server" folder from ur CD or DVD to /var/ftp/pub
  • Now you need to create Repository or simply generate Required data or metadata which can be done using "createrepo" command but if u dont have it then jst install rpm from "Server" folder
  • rpm -ivh createrepo* (install createrepo)
  • Now everythin is installed.
  • Shoot up the command to generate repository : createrepo [FOLDER NAME]
  • ex. create Server (folder name where files are copied)
  • If u r still confused then jst go to folder which u recently copied and in that folder type above command.
  • Restart "vsftpd" demon : service vsftpd restart
  • Finished!
2) Common problem i faced while creating repository : i was not able to connect to my FTP Server and couldnt access files shared on FTP why ? ? ? ? ? reason was "iptables" ? ? ?

Originally, the most popular firewall/NAT package running on Linux was ipchains, but it had a number of shortcomings. To rectify this, the Netfilter organization decided to create a new product called iptables,

3) Just shutdown this "iptables" for now (for newbies) using following command

service iptables stop

4) Thats it . . .! now go to client machine and you can access your shared Files on server as :

ftp://server ip/directory

5) OK! Now we created this repo because our client want it to Update rpm from this Server!

6) Client Side configuration :
  • Go to /etc/yum.repos.d
  • Take a backup of file "rhel-debuginfo.repo" and copy same files with name "anything.repo"
  • Now fire up ur vi editor as : vi anything.repo
  • Structure of file :

  • [name of dir]
  • name = . . .
  • baseurl=ftp://ip/directory (your path)
  • enabled=1
  • gpgcheck=0
  • #gpgkey=. . .

And now you need to fireup some commands as follows :

1) service yum-updatesd restart
2) chkconfig yum-updatesd on
3) yum clean all


Now you try to install rpm you want and that will be installed right from FTP server!

Example : yum install "httpd*"

Finished!

Have a nice day!
Happy Linux!
