Try here

or here
thread41-416453

but if the server you are hosting on supports JSP or not only the hosting company can tell you that.

Some more information would be useful;
Connection type;
Operating System;
Java Engine;
behind router or firewall;
fixed IP or Dynamic IP;

The more information provided in your post will enable a more informed answer to be given.

Ok

Still having the same problem, can not set up Virtual host in IIS 5 on Win 2000 Server, ADSL conection behind router, LinkSys 4 Port Router. JDK 1.4, Dynamic IP address,


Thanks for Helping me out

 

[ChrisHirst]

You are going to have to register with one of the dynamic dns providers, I use

http://www.dyndns.org

and set up either your own domain name (charged) or use one of their pre-registered names (free) as a virtual name, download and setup one of the client updaters to automatically re-register your IP when it changes.
You will need to allow traffic on port 80 through the router (read the manual) and then use host headers in IIS to point the traffic to the correct site.

setting up host headers has been discussed many times on here and the help in 2k server shows how easy it is.

Hi

I think you missunderstood my question, I asked: How to Set UP Virt. Hosts with JSP? Just so You Know (JSYK) I already manage the example with Default w

http://www virtual

host in IIS 5. Look for my computer features/specs above if you want to know.


I hope some one evently understand me, Is my english as that BAD?


Thanks

 

[ChrisHirst]

Ok I'm really not with this then,
Do you want to;

A/ create the site\virtual folder by using JSP code pages so someone can create their own site,

B/ create individual sites that can execute JSP code,

[zick79]

Hi

it is B

I want to set up Like I said before I virtual Host - If you don't know what is virtual Host than stop reading further. If you do than, I want to set up each individual virtual host in IIS 5 (specs above) to serve JSP pages for each virtual site/host. I hove I am clear enaugth.


Thanks for your help anyway.

 

[ChrisHirst]

Ok, I know what a virtual host is,
I am trying to narrow down your problem, you are not helping by repeating the question, the only thing I have to work with is your information, I do not know anything about your system unless you tell me.
For instance;
You have not said what Java Engine you have installed,
is it Tomcat, Sun ONE, Macromedia JRUN or something else?

with Tomcat you have to set up the redirector,

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/jk/iishowto.html

JRUN and Sun ONE should configure the ISAPI types on installation

JDK 1.4 is not (AFIK) a server rendering engine, It is (as the name implies) a development kit.

also read this thread thread41-416453

If you have a JSE installed and configured all sites\virtual hosts can be JSP capable.

Ok Great I works BUT!


Now from each domain I can get it to work the jsp examples but my question now is, how do you set up user FTP home directory so he/she can upload jsp pages, and not haveing saparate c:/inetpub/GregHOME/ user home dir. PLUS a folder somewhere else for JSP. How to combine them all in one user directory. ??????????


Please give me a clue.


Thanks guys and girsl

 

[ChrisHirst]

Under the FTP Site you create a virtual folder for each user and point the home directory to the top level of the users site. Then create a user name on the server with the same name as the virtual folder, make sure anonymous access is unchecked, and when anyone connects to ftp://yourdomain.xxx they will be prompted for a username & password, if they enter the appropriate username and password their access will be from the virtual folder for their site.

This is the way I have mine set up.

Websites
|
|--user1 FTP for user1 points here
| |
| |--logs
| |
| |--www website for user1 folders
|
|--user2
| |
| |--logs
| |
| |--www

and so on. This gives the user full access to logs and all site folders.

Thanks man

Yea, mine is set up similar way BUT take a look at the below graph.

FTPRoot
|
|----Jurek
| `-----

http://www.Jdomain.com

| `---CGI-BIN
| ` `----myperlscripts
| ` `----myjsppages
| ` `----myaspages
| `
| `---MyPicture
| `---XFolder
|
|
|------Bob
`-----

http://www.Bdomain.com

`---CGI-BIN
` `----myperlscripts
` `----myjsppages
` `----myaspages
`
`---MyPicture
`---XFolder


My Question is, actualy I have 2 questions,

1) How do I set up the permissions on the

http://www.Jdomain.com

and

http://www.Bdomain.com

assummin the Path ic c:\FTPRoot with inheritance permisions for Everybody FULL CONTROL starting from C: drive, so that (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NOW) my client Jurek and Bob won't be able to delete theirs

http://www.Jdomain.com

and

http://www.Bdomain.com

folders and could read write to it, and the same with CGI-BIN folder, I don't want them to be able to delete it. So whenever I have a new user, he/she will start of with that Skeleter folder permissions.



2) How do I HOOK up jsp folder in each of these 2 users with Tomcat JSP WEB-INI folder, so they can upload JSP page in their ftp home directory, and they would run from there.??


Ok ok, i know I ran to far, I know, Hope you guys/girls help me a bit with this 2 problem, I you need more info just ask.

Thanks folks

Stay tune I will come back in about 3 hours East Time now is 4:45PM

Bye

First of all and MOST important remove any permissions that the Everyone group has especially FULL CONTROL. This is a serious security risk. The Everyone group SHOULD NOT have any permission to any shares or folders especially on a publicly accessible server. If as you say Everyone has full control from the root upwards this means that ANY user can perform any action they wish to the entire drive including the %systemroot% folder and this is possible by using simple commands to connect to the drive, also make sure the Auto created admin shares are removed C$, D$ etc, this again is a major security risk.

for point 1/
Make a group up for webusers and assign the permissions you want to to the FTP root folders for this group, then your new users are added to this group by default.
Your create site\user script will need to handle this, unless you do this manually. You should never assign explicit or implicit permissions on a drive\folder\file to a user always use a group.

Be aware that what you ask for, eg deny delete, will prevent these users from replacing files on upload also, so you will be limiting the users to the files that are provided by the system administrator.

Looking at the questions you have asked you seem to be approaching this with insufficient knowledge of server and user administration especially from a security point of view and I would suggest that you work on gaining some knowledge and securing your system before you find your server has been compromised.

Hi


Firs of all the permisions that I use said I have I used as an Example, so Relax, second of all if you could tell me how do you get folder EX.!!!!!!!! C:\Tomcat\WEB-Init\Jsp\calculator folder in user FTP root dir.? Should I user mapping script while use logs into the FTP root directory or something else? What Are the alternatives?


Thanks a lot

 

[ChrisHirst]

I'm relieved to hear that.

I don't use Tomcat as yet but there is a dedicated Tomcat Forum forum877 You will have more chance of a qualified answer by posting your question in there.


Best of luck


Chris.
