Hi!
I am trying to built Snorby front-end for my test Snot IPS, but i am absolutely newbie in linux.
I used manual instructions of course and in end of it the following configurations of httpd.conf was suggested:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@sext
ServerName sext
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/snorby/public

<Directory "/var/www/html/snorby/public">
AllowOverride all
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>
Ok, i'v done it, checked my /etc/hosts/ - ok, restarted httpd, Tried on htpp://sext and get standart Apache2 Test page instead of Snorby panel.
I have checked /var/www/html/snorby/public directory,it is not empty, so and i doesnot get mesages about errors or something, just a standart apache test page.

Coul you help me to understand, for what possible reasons i see test page despite of configuration?

you have to open the web page as, http://sext/snorby/public

i have tried but 404 not found.

modify AllowOverride None & then restart the httpd service & open the web page again as, http://sext/snorby/public

Also if this does'nt work then show the listing of files as, ls -l /var/www/html/snorby/public

Modified, restarted, tried URL - everything the same.

ls -l :

I have been looking on content of public since yesterday, but had read plenty of manuals and seen no strings, that suggested to add something else in public directory. Only in config directory and i have done it.


I noticed once that it is report about no libyaml, installed it, reinstalled ruby, reports stopped but no other effect.


BTW output of apachectl start and stop keeps bothering me cause i see:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

while uname -n shows sext, there is sext in /etc/hosts/ and etc/sysconfig/networking, but still...

Any idea?

Manuals i followed:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=ru
and
https://github.com/Snorby/snorby/wik...bit-by-RISC427

1. First of all you have to set owner & group as apache:apache of /var/www/html/snorby/public & set the permission as 744
2. Check your hostname & dnsdomainname whether they are same as what you had set.
3. Mention the entry of ipaddress in dns as,

@ IN NS <your hostname>.
www IN A <your eth0 ipaddress>
4. restart the httpd & named service & check /var/log/httpd/error_log

smilemukul, and what if i have no dns server and just use hosts file for name resolution (this is my test lab for test tasks but not a production server)? Is that so apache needs dns server to start without errors?

1.I have set. Now i have 403 forbidden on http:/sext and http://sext/snorby/public and any othe directory in snorby, though that i used chown apache:apache /var/www/html/snorby/public and chmod 744 /var/www/html/snorby/public.
2.dnsdomainname is empty, i didn't set it and hostname is sext, ok. It seems to me that i have a normal message about absence of FQDN, but is that so apache cannot funtion properly without FQDN and this may cause my web aplication problems? Honestly i doubt it but who knows...

Well.
I commented my VirtualDirectory section, uncomented default httpd server settings such as ServerName e.t.c. and after that was able and glad to see listing of public directory. Then i started rails s (who could even guessed :-P ) and snorby main page revealed itself. How nice
