Working with Apache Web Server
Time Required: 35 minutes
Objective: Explore basic settings and tasks in Apache Web Server.
Description: Without a doubt, youll run across Apache Web Server systems when conducting a
security test. Because Apache is a sophisticated, modular Web server, mastering its features and
options can take considerable time. Apaches layout varies, depending on the OS. For example,
Apache in Fedora Linux is different from Apache in Ubuntu Linux. In this activity, you explore
basic Apache Web Server commands and learn how to find and modify some configuration
options (called Apache directives). The goal of this activity is to configure a Web server with a
directory that requires authentication.
1.
Boot your computer into Linux with the Kali Linux DVD.
2.
Open a Terminal shell. At the command prompt, type apache2ctl start and press Enter. You can
safely ignore the Could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name error.
3.
Start the Iceweasel Web browser. In the address bar, type localhost and press Enter. The Web
site displays instructions on how to manipulate the default apache configuration. Read over this
page.
4.
Open a Terminal shell. At the command prompt, type apache2ctl stop and press Enter.
5.
Now, well view the default apache configuration files. In the Terminal shell, type cd/etc/apache2
and press Enter to change directories. Then type grep Include apache2.conf and press Enter to
see a listing of files and directories where the Apache server searches for additional directives at
startup (see Figure 10-5). Note the next to last line, IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf. This
directory is where Apache checks for Web site configuration files. You can add a Web site by
adding its configuration file in this directory without having to change the main configuration
file apache2.conf.
Figure 10-5
Viewing files and directories with an Include statement
Source: GNU GPL
6.
Type cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled && ls and press Enter.
7.
Open the file in the gvim editor by typing gvim 000-default.conf and pressing Enter.
8.
Enter the following lines at the end of the file, below the line :
9.
Save your changes and exit the gvim editor by pressing Esc, typing :wq, and pressing Enter.
10.
In the Terminal shell, create a new directory by typing mkdir /var/www/html/restricted and
pressing Enter.
11.
Type cd /var/www/html/restricted to change to the directory you created in Step 12 and press
Enter. Then type touch secret.txt and press Enter to create a file in this directory.
12.
Next, you create the .htaccess file in the same directory. This file is the local directory
configuration file specified in apache2.conf by the AccessFileName directive. If .htaccess exists
in any Web site directory, Apache checks it first. In this .htaccess file, you point Apache to the
location of AuthUserFile (essentially, a password file). Type gvim.htaccess and press Enter.
Type the following for the files contents:
13.
Exit and save.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

32. NB: Click on finish Tab to compete Installation.
33. Now Create DataBase with Full Administrator Privelege. 1. Just type in place database name bugs it will be bugtracker.
34.
35. INSTALL PHP FOR WINDOWS STEP 1 * In Windows Explorer, go to c:ownloadshp5 and unzip the file php-5.0.2-Win32.zip into the directory called C:hp * Now move (don't just copy) the file c:hphp5ts.dll to c:indowshp5ts.dll (or if you don't have a c:indows directory, move it to c:innt ). * PHP5 is now installed on your computer, but you still need to configure it to work with Apache, which we will do in the next step.
36. STEP 2 Configure PHP5 to Work with Apache We now need to tell the Apache web server what to do when it encounters a .php file. Some changes will be made to the Apache configuration file and some will be made to the PHP configuration file. Do This: 1. With the Windows Explorer, create the folder c:ebsest . This will be our test website 2. Rename the c:hphp.ini-dist to c:hphp.ini , then make the following changes in the c:hphp.ini file: (1) doc_root = "c:ebsest" and (2) extension_dir = "C:hpxt" . Note that you should use BACKSLASHES in the php.ini file.
37. Step 3: In the file C:pache2onfttpd.conf , change the DocumentRoot entry to: DocumentRoot "C:/webs/test" . Note that you should use FORWARD SLASHES in the http.conf file. Step 4: Also in the file C:pache2onfttpd.conf , change the Directory entry to: <Directory "C:/webs/test"> . Note that you should use FORWARD SLASHES in the http.conf file.
38. STEP 5 Again in the C:pache2onfttpd.conf file, add the following lines: hint: to find this position fast, search for "media types" you can copy this text ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe" SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php"
39. Step 6 Lastly, we need to make one last change to this C:pache2onfttpd.conf file. Find the "DirectoryIndex" entry and add "index.php" to the end of the line as shown in this screenshot. you can copy this text: DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
40. STEP 7 In order for the changes to take effect, you need to restart Apache. To do this, click the Apache symbol in the lower right-hand corner of your task bar. In the little menu that pops up there, click Apache 2 and then Restart . STEP 8 After about 10 seconds, Apache will have restarted, PHP will be configured. Go on to the next step to test your configuration.
41. Test PHP You have now installed Apache and PHP and have configured PHP. We will now test your configuration of PHP to make sure Apache can correctly serve PHP5 files. Do This: 1. Create the file c:ebsestndex.php with the following line 2. Create the file c:ebsestndex.php with the following line you can copy this text: you can copy this text: you can copy this text to your Text Editor Today is <? print strftime("%m/%d/%Y"); ?> With your browser, go to http://localhost . If you see the current date on your screen as in this screenshot, then PHP5 has been successfully installed and configured with Apache.
43. CONFIGURE MYSQL Create a Database Table using MySQL 5.0 Client In this step we will use the MySQL 5.0 client software to create a database table (so that we can display its data on a web page in the next step). In order to do this, we are going to have to enter commands in at the command prompt on your Windows machine. Do This: In order to get to the command prompt, click the Windows Start button and choose Run . Then type in cmd and click the OK button.
44. 2. At the command prompt, type cd "C:rogram FilesySQLySQL Server 4.1in" and hit the Enter key. 3.Then type mysql -u root -p and when asked for the password, type admin . You will then see the MySQL client prompt.
45. 4.Type in the following lines in order to create the database named demo and a table within that database named members : 5.Now type in the following lines which will create two records in the members table of the demo database: Now exit the MySQL client by typing quit; . Now exit the MySQL client by typing quit; . z
46. Set up PHP to work with MySQL 4.1 We now need to make a few changes to PHP so that it knows what to do when it encounters a MySQL command. Do This: First of all, check the c:hp directory and make sure that the files libmysqli.dll and php_mysqli.dll are both there. If they are not there, check the c:hpxt directory and copy the files into c:hp 2.Then open up the file c:hphp.ini in your editor and ADD the line extension=php_mysqli.dll .
47. 3. In order for the changes to take effect, you need to restart Apache. To do this, click the Apache symbol in the lower right-hand corner of your task bar. In the little menu that pops up there, click Apache 2 and then Restart . 4.After about 10 seconds, your PHP will be ready to accept mysqli commands to talk to the MySQL 5.0 database.
48. Test PHP5/MySQL in browser We will now create a PHP page which connects to your MySQL database called demo , reads the names out of the table members and displays them in the browser. Do This Create a file c:ebsestestmysql41.php and paste in the following code: Copy the Below Code: <? $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost','root','admin'); $mysqli->select_db('demo'); $result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM members"); while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { print $row['firstName'] . ' ' . $row['lastName'] . '<br/>'; } $result->close(); ?>
49. 3.In your browser, go to http://localhost/testmysql41.php . If you see the following two names appear in your browser, this means that your MySQL 4.1 database works with your PHP 5 installation. Fatal error : Class 'mysqli' not found in C:ebsestestmysql41.php on line 3 If above error appears then please do as mentioned Below.
50. Smith : Somebody please help me in removing this error "Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in C:ebsestestmysql41.php on line 3" i have tried and checked all what is told in the above discussion..ple help me soon!!! Edgars : Sly: firstname should be firstName, and in mySQL is different is UPERCASE or lowercase! Chek your variables names, maybe it helps :) Yavuz cakir : Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in c:ebsestestmysql41.php on line 2 Lubos : 1) Add file libmysql.dll into Windowsystem32 folder; 2) at php.ini uncomment extensions=php_mysqli.dll and php_mysql.dll; 3) at your testsql file change Admin to your windows account password. Configure apache as described here. I had all the mistakes as described above and now everything works. Alex : Lubos THANKS ALOT !!!! I had all htose problems too and now is working :) Bla Bla : Now, I don't know what changed it, I did everything listed here and I realised it works. I think firstName should be written the same way you did when you created the test database (in my case firstname). A letter can make the difference! Pay attention, kids!!! Is IT RESOLVED THANK YOU NO……………….Ok…So More Configuration Required
