Answer : Okay, I noticed that this post is viewed quite often recently and so it seems that a lot of people are facing the same issue that I did. If so then this might help you. I have followed a simple step-by-step tutorial to create a SSL-certification for my webserver. Like so many tutorials out there the outcome of the tutorial I followed was a self-signed certificate using OpenSSL. Yep self-signed , that was the problem. The browser could not trust the server due to it's certificate which is signed by itself. Well I wouldn't do either... A certificate has to be signed by an external trustworthy certificate authority (CA). So I stumbled upon Let's Encrypt which does all the work for you and is even easier to set up and the best is: it is absolutely free. Installation 1) Delete your old ssl cert files which you have created by using OpenSSL 2) Open backports to get certbot client on Debian. You should know that this will open a hole for unfinished software!...

Answer : To allow user ec2-user (Amazon AWS) write access to the public web directory (/var/www/html), enter this command via Putty or Terminal, as the root user sudo : chown -R ec2-user /var/www/html Make sure permissions on that entire folder were correct: chmod -R 755 /var/www/html Doc's: Setting up amazon ec2-instances Connect to Amazon EC2 file directory using Filezilla and SFTP (Video) Understanding and Using File Permissions if you are using centOs then use sudo chown -R centos:centos /var/www/html sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html For Ubuntu sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /var/www/html sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html For Amazon ami sudo chown -R ec2-user:ec2-user /var/www/html sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html In my case the /var/www/html in not a directory but a symbolic link to the /var/app/current, so you should change the real directoy ie /var/app/current: sudo chown -R ec2-user /var/app/current sudo chmod -R 755 /var/app/current I hope th...

Answer : You can use Python as a quick way to host static content. On Windows, there are many options for running Python, I've personally used CygWin and ActivePython. To use Python as a simple HTTP server just change your working directory to the folder with your static content and type python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 , everything in the directory will be available at http:/localhost:8000/ Python 3 To do this with Python, 3.4.1 (and probably other versions of Python 3), use the http.server module: python -m http.server <PORT> # or possibly: python3 -m http.server <PORT> # example: python -m http.server 8080 On Windows: py -m http.server <PORT> Have a look at mongoose: single executable very small memory footprint allows multiple worker threads easy to install as service configurable with a configuration file if required The smallest one I know is lighttpd. Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility -- all of these describe ligh...

Answer : Open /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf change nobody and nogroup <IfModule unixd_module> # # If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run # httpd as root initially and it will switch. # # User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as. # It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for # running httpd, as with most system services. # User nobody Group nogroup </IfModule> to your username and your group Had the same issue and here is what i did: Run this command to stop xampp: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop Open /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf Change your_folder to the folder you wanna use DocumentRoot "/home/username/your_folder" <Directory "/home/username/your_folder"> Change User & Group value from daemon to: User nobody Group nogroup set chmod to your_folder with this command sudo chmod 777 /home/username/your_folder Save the file and start xampp wi...
