View Contents Of SSL Certificate

By admin on February 23, 2005 in Apache

When you renew an SSL certificate, you have to create a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) with the same information as the original certificate. To get this information there are several options:

1. If the certificate authority (CA) is Verisign then you can search for the certificate on there support website and view the contents. You’ll need to know the exact domain name that was used to generate the certificate.

2. If you have the original CSR then you can use the following command to view the contents:

openssl req -noout -text -in domainname.csr

1	openssl req -noout -text -in domainname.csr

3. If you have the original certificate the you can use this command to view it’s contents:

openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt

1	openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt

Other usefull commands include:

a. Show contents of private key:

openssl rsa -noout -text -in domainname.key

1	openssl rsa -noout -text -in domainname.key

b. Generate a key and csr:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out domainname.key 1024
openssl req -new -key domainname.key -out domainname.csr

1 2	openssl genrsa -des3 -out domainname.key 1024 openssl req -new -key domainname.key -out domainname.csr

Redhat Network Config Resources

By admin on January 8, 2005 in Apache, Networking, RedHat

Here are some handy references about network config on redhat:

/usr/share/doc/initscripts-<version>/sysconfig.txt — A guide to available options for network configuration files, including IPv6 options not covered in this chapter.
/usr/share/doc/iproute-<version>/ip-cref.ps — This file contains a wealth of information about the ip command, which can be used to manipulate routing tables, among other things. Use the ggv or kghostview application to view this file.

AWStats

By admin on August 18, 2004 in Apache

AWStats
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

Goal: Install AWStats 5.9 on a Sun Cobalt server and configure to auto
generate reports for all virtual domains hosted on the server.

Note: Also tested on FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE with AWStats 6.1

1. Verify Apache version ...

> httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.20 Sun Cobalt (Unix)
Server built:   Jul 23 2001 14:55:10

On FreeBSD used:

> /www/apache/bin/httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix)
Server built:   Aug 27 2002 01:38:46

2. Verify shared module support ...

> httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c
  mod_perl.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec

On FreeBSD:

>/www/apache/bin/httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /www/apache/bin/suexec

In both cases we're looking for the presence of mod_so.c

3 . Download and unpack AWStats software ...

> cd /root
> mkdir archive
> cd archive
> wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/awstats/awstats-5.9.tgz

FreeBSD was missing the wget command so I did the download like this:

> lynx -source http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge\
/awstats/awstats-6.1.tgz > awstats-6.1.tgz

Now unpack the distribution:

> tar -xvzf awstats-5.9.tgz
> cd awstats-5.9

or on FreeBSD: 

> tar -xvzf awstats-6.1.tgz
> cd awstats-6.1

4. Install AWStats software ...

> mv wwwroot /home/awstats
> cp tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl /home/awstats/cgi-bin

5. Install run script ...

> cd /root/archive
> wget http://www.reliablepenguin.com/clients/misc/awstats.run.pl

or on FreeBSD:

> lynx -source http://www.reliablepenguin.com/\
clients/misc/awstats.run.pl > awstats.run.pl

You might need to edit this script and adjust the SITE_BASE variable to match your install.

On FreeBSD the path to grep had to be changed to /usr/bin/grep at the start of the script.

Next do:

> chmod 755 awstats.run.pl
> cp awstats.run.pl /usr/local/sbin

6. Install config template ...

> cd /home/awstats/cgi-bin
> wget http://www.reliablepenguin.com/clients/misc/awstats.template.conf

or on FreeBSD:

> lynx -source http://www.reliablepenguin.com/\
clients/misc/awstats.template.conf > awstats.template.conf 

The template config file sets the following:

        LogFile="/home/sites/#SITE#/logs/web"

        LogType=W

        LogFormat=1

        SiteDomain="#SITE#"

        DNSLookup=0

        DirCgi="/awstats/cgi-bin"

        DirIcons="/awstats/icon"

For FreeBSD the template must be edited to set the following:

        LogFile="/www/logs/#SITE#-access.log"

7. Setup apache ....

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following lines
to the end of the file just before any virtual definitions:

   Alias /awstats/icon /home/awstats/icon
   Alias /awstats/js /home/awstats/js
   Alias /aswtats/css /home/awstats/css

On FreeBSD the httpd.conf file is located in /usr/www/apache/conf/

8. Setup logrotate ...

Edit /etc/logrotate.d/apache and add the indicated line.

        /var/log/httpd/access {
            prerotate
                /usr/local/sbin/split_logs web &lt; /var/log/httpd/access
ADD -->         /usr/local/sbin/awstats.run.pl >> /var/log/awstats.log
            endscript
            missingok
            postrotate
                /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true
            endscript
            daily
        }

The logrotate setup was not needed on the FreeBSD server. Instead a cronjob did the trick.

That does it!

Notes:
Basic awstats operations:

a. Initialize the database with logs ...

> /awstats.pl -config=your.domain -update

b. Run reports ...

> /home/awstats/cgi-bin/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl \
        -config=your.domain \
        -dir=/home/sites/your.domain/web/awstats/reports \
        -awstatsprog=/home/awstats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
