Hello good people.

I have a RHEL6 repo setup that can be acceeed succefully by all hosts in the n/w via ftp.
I would like to make this repo which is located in /var/ftp/pub/RHEL6_X86_64 available via apache too for a perticular host. How do I go about doing it without changing the location of repo files mentioned above? As in without creating the repo under a */html directory.

Please note that I dhave the very deafualt configuration on httpd, nothing has changed. is this something to be done via a virtualhosts? if that is the case or some other please can you mention of an example?

Many thanks in advance.

You can create link

Code:

ln -s /var/ftp/pub/RHEL6_X86_64 /var/www/html/RHEL

Now you will be able to access it and also new files that you put into /var/ftp/pub/RHEL6_X86_64 directory using http if http service is running, using http://http_server_ip/RHEL
For testing just create a test file

Code:

seq 1000 > /var/ftp/pub/RHEL6_X86_64/1k.txt

if required restart the http service, but not necessary.

Code:

/sbin/service httpd restart

Now you will be able to access from browser.

Code:

http://http_server_ip/RHEL/1k.txt
ftp://ftp_server_ip/pub/RHEL6_X86_64/1k.txt

To Block particular host

Code:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -s ip_address -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

Or for example to reject 192.168.1.2

Code:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 192.168.1.2 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REJECT

To allow particular host

Code:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -s ip_address -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

You most never have to restart apache. Simply service httpd reload. Also in my opinion Its better to use allow deny directive instead of iptables.
