Ubuntu 9.10 end of life

Posted on by
Reply

Ubuntu announced its 9.10 release almost 18 months ago, on October 29,
2009. As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security
and critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support period is now
nearing its end and Ubuntu 9.10 will reach end of life on Friday,
April 29, 2011. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer
include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 9.10.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 9.10 is via Ubuntu 10.04.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
continues to be actively supported with security updates and
select high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security
updates for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce
mailing list, information about which may be found at

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.

Apache2 and Django – How to get them to work together

Posted on by
Reply

Since some time now, I’m looking into the python based django framework. This is working out really good. There is a little thing, that it does not provide, the storage of the static media files, you still need a webserver for this.

But ususally you only have on IP address and run already an apache2 on the port 80 with lot of named based virtual hosts on it. Handing out urls with non standard portnumbers is also not an option for you.

So here is a small snippet of apache config, how to get the two systems together.

You need to enable the proxy module in apache2, this varies in the different flavour of linux distribution. For debian based you need to do the following:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/proxy.load
ln -s ../mods-available/proxy_http.load
ln -s ../mods-available/proxy_ftp.load
ln -s ../mods-available/proxy.conf

The content of the proxy.conf file looks like this:

#turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
#spammers to use your proxy to send email.
#
# Keep it OFF for reverse proxying!
ProxyRequests Off
#
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
#
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
#
ProxyVia On

Now you still need to enable another module, the mod_rewrite:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load

Now we need to edit the configuration of the named based virtual host in your apache config. You need to add the following lines to it, assuming your django server listens on localhost port 8080:

# Switch on the Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine on
#
# Get everybody to use the domain with www. in front, this is search engine friendliness
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.de [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.test.de/$1 [L,R]
#
# Surpress the TRACE and TRACK methods
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
#
# get the admin css and img through django
RewriteRule ^/media/css/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8080/media/css/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/media/img/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8080/media/img/$1 [P]
#
# the /media is the place, where django saves all the uploaded media, make it available through apache
RewriteRule ^/media/ - [L]
#
# the /error are the apache error pages, make it available through apache
RewriteRule ^/error/ - [L]
#
# If the request is NOT an existing file or directory
# fetch it from the django server through reverse proxying
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8080$1 [P]
