Can't contact APE Server

[Alessandro Baldini]

Hi,
i have a dedicated server and i could installing APE Server.

I buy a domain: www.dominio.it

My configuration for APE are:

In the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default i added:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName dominio.it
ServerAlias ape.dominio.it
ServerAlias *.ape.dominio.it

DocumentRoot "/var/www/dominio.it/httpdocs/"
</VirtualHost>

In the config.js i insert:

APE.Config.baseUrl = 'http://www.dominio.it/APE_JSF'; //APE JSF
APE.Config.domain = 'dominio.it';
APE.Config.server = 'ape.dominio.it:6969'; //APE server URL

In the ape.conf i insert:

Server {
port = 6969
daemon = yes
ip_listen = 0.0.0.0
ip_local = 127.0.0.1
domain = auto
rlimit_nofile = 10000
pid_file = /var/run/aped.pid
}

Despite these configurations, the test continues to give me the
following error:

Can't contact APE Server.Please check the folowing url is pointing to
your APE server : http://0.ape.dominio.it:6969

What should I do to fix the problem?

Thank's all

[Pablo Tejada]

It may be common sense but did you checked that the folowing url is pointing to your APE server : http://0.ape.dominio.it:6969

Try using this configuration for ape.conf:

Server {
port = 6969
daemon = yes
ip_listen = 0.0.0.0
ip_local = 127.0.0.1

domain = 'dominio.it'

rlimit_nofile = 10000
pid_file = /var/run/aped.pid
}

If I'm not wrong the doman value must have the same value in the two
config file.

You have to set up the DNS service as well: you can either set up
/etc/hosts like follows:

0.ape.dominio.it
1.ape.dominio.it
...
n.ape.dominio.it

or configure properly a DNS service

[Jonathon Byrd]

also check to see that port 6969 is open after you start the ape server. use a tool like this  http://ping-the-server.com/

inserting it in your hosts file is a fail. your server needs to know how to handle that alias as well as your local computer. Even entering it in the hosts file of your server will not work. 

You need to locate the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file that's responsible for apache directing traffic to the proper directory on your server. Once done then you can add the wildcard alias to your apache config.

[Alessandro Baldini]

in my server the httpd.conf is located in /etc/apache2. Is correct? And the file is empty....What should i write? Can you give me an example?

I have also posted a message about this with dns settings example but then running on port 80

[Jonathon Byrd]

Then you're probably running debian or ubuntu, that correct? You'll want to look int the /etc/apache2/sites folder.

Once you find it you'll need to run the command on your server to enable that site, i think it's something like a2ensite your_site_name

then restart apache.

[Alessandro Baldini]

Yes, is Ubuntu!
if i go in /etc/apache2 and run ls:

apache2.conf
httpd.conf
mods-available
sites-available
conf.d
httpd.pem
mods-enabled
sites-enabled
envvars
magic
ports.conf
workers.properties

[Jonathon Byrd]

in  sites-available  you'll find all of your sites, run ls inside  sites-available folder

[Alessandro Baldini]

in this folder there is

default

2012/6/15 Jonathon Byrd <jona...@redrokk.com>

[Jonathon Byrd]

run that file in your favorite editor and add this line 

ServerAlias  *.dominio.it

under ServerName  www.dominio.it

then run 

$ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

[Alessandro Baldini]

:( Nothing! Does not work!

add 1.dominio.it to your local computers hosts file and then access it via the browser, let me know if that works. if you see anything about the ape running.

[Alessandro Baldini]

this is my hosts with the new instruction:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain\localhost  localhost
127.0.0.1    0.ape.dominio.it
127.0.0.1    1.dominio.it

....nothing! Do not work!

PS: The APE server is on the dedicated server....not in local......

2012/6/16 Jonathon Byrd <jona...@redrokk.com>

[Jonathon Byrd]

What you're showing me is the hosts file on your dedicated. You need to update the hosts file on your local computer, the computer which you are accessing the server via browser. You can either update your local hosts file (not the server) or update the dns cname to point a wildcard char to your dedicated server.

I tell you what, I'll write a blog post discussing this process from start to finish. Will let you know when it's done.

I've literally spent the last few hours re-installing APE on one of my servers and creating this tutorial for you.

http://redrokk.com/2012/06/16/installing-ape-streaming-server-tutorial/

I'll be preparing the next tutorial for you so that you can begin setting up APE on your website.

[Jonathon Byrd]

Ok, the Client tutorial was quite a bit easier. Here's that tutorial:

Good Luck!

Jonathon is right, you have to set up properly the host names resolution on the client you are trying to access APE server (int /etc/hosts, but it's a dummy workaround) or in the httpd.conf file on your dedicated host.

PS: I'm italian too! I'm from Monza ^_^ ..We could speak italian, but if we get to a solution speaking in italian, many people who subscribed to this group trying to solve the same problem wouldn't be able to understand ^_^ ..and by the way, my english isn't so good too..!

That's ok Jonathon, but you'll need to set up a DNS server anyway or you'll cannot resolve the name "dominio.com" from any client..as far as I can understand the interaction between the APE server and the client is done using names instead of addresses, so even if I set up the correct lines to resolve  "*.dominio.com" in httpd.conf I woudn't be able to resolve it from a generic client. That's what I understood by spending some time in APE's configuration issues, let me know if I'm wrong, thank you in advance!
