Can't access my reddit installation - reddit

I install Reddit Script on my server but I can't access my installation. I try to access http://129.xxx.xx.xx (my server IP address but is has a redirection to reddit.local and here looks to load for ever.
I install it using my automatic installer and after that I just populate the script with some data as per instruction provided in the bottom of the instruction document.
I miss something?

You'll need to configure the hostname you used (it sounds like reddit.local) to point to the correct place. The easiest method to do this is via an entry in your /etc/hosts.
Does it work if you request from localhost on the server?
The install script is designed for testing (i.e. in a Vagrant VM), not production; if you're trying to set up a production website, you'll probably want to follow the manual install guide.

WebSocket connection failure. Due to security constraints in your web browser

Today I download neo4j-community-3.2.0 in windows, when i start the server, i meet one problem in browser, i meet this problem in neo4j-community-3.1.2 and i had solved it by Ticking the "Do not use Bolt" option in settings solved the issue. But in neo4j-community-3.2.0 , i can't see "Do not use Bolt" option ,and i don't know how to do.
N/A: WebSocket connection failure. Due to security constraints in your web browser, the reason for the failure is not available to this Neo4j Driver. Please use your browsers development console to determine the root cause of the failure. Common reasons include the database being unavailable, using the wrong connection URL or temporary network problems. If you have enabled encryption, ensure your browser is configured to trust the certificate Neo4j is configured to use. WebSocket readyState is: 3
This happens because the browser is trying (under the hood) to also access the bolt port, which uses an unsigned certificate.
You probably allowed the browser to access the SSL 7474 port through allowing the unsigned certificate as an exception on your browser (and if you didn't, you should in order to make it work).
The url was:
https://[neo4j_host]:7474
Do the same for the bolt certificate, allow it as an exception for url:
https://[neo4j_host]:7687
I ran into the same problem trying to use Neo4j Community Edition on an AWS Ubuntu 16.04 instance. The key thing that solved it was to open port 7687 (the bolt port) in the AWS security group settings.
Found this based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/45234105/1529646
Thus, full answer is:
Make sure to configure Neo4j correctly, ie. uncomment the line dbms.connectors.default_listen_address=0.0.0.0 AND the line dbms.connector.bolt.listen_address=:7687
Open ports 7474 AND 7687 in the AWS security group settings.
In the lower left corner of the browser gear, select do not use bolt.
Open your ${NEO4J_HOME}/conf/neo4j.conf file and edit the bolt settings. It is just about uncommenting this line dbms.connector.bolt.address=0.0.0.0:7687
Change the version of Neo4j
Check your JDK version, use JDK1.8
Adding another option, which worked for me. If your bolt's tls_level is set to REQUIRED, you need to change it to OPTIONAL, if you are not using it with SSL certificate; to get this working.
If you are using Neo4J Community Edition (ver 3.5.1 - in my case) from AWS Marketplace, you need to change the configuration in:
/etc/neo4j/pre-neo4j.sh
Change this line:
echo "dbms_connector_bolt_tls_level" "${dbms_connector_bolt_tls_level:=REQUIRED}"
to
echo "dbms_connector_bolt_tls_level" "${dbms_connector_bolt_tls_level:=OPTIONAL}"
You can find more about Neo4J connector configuration option here. Ideally as per docs, by default bolt.tls_level should have been OPTIONAL only. But I'm not really sure what exactly happened in my case, which got it changed to REQUIRED. Or if it came as is from AWS Marketplace.
Assuming you have valid certs and placed them under the correct certificates directory:
dbms.ssl.policy.bolt.client_auth=NONE
Version 4.0. Took it from this article.
I shared my full ssl config on this other answer.
I had the same error. New to Neo, so take this with a grain of salt, but my solution didn't match these above idea. But thanks as they did lead me to the right "water". So
I went into the conf file, noticed that there was the same port number (previously, the Neo desktop had been constantly telling me it'd needed to update the port numbers...I never checked to verity, but they'd be #, #+1 and #+2. But that didn't work yet that'd happened again and again...but now, after checking the conf file myself, I noticed that the number was the same for all three port requirements for BOLT. Tried that and it didn't work either...but maybe that was important in what did:
In the folder, where the specific database is housed, named "..neo4jdatabases/[GUID Value]" there were two directories titled "/installation-3.4.0" and "...1". I removed the ".0", restarted things and IT WORKED.
So, either there should NOT be two versions under the same database collection OR that's true AND you need the three ports to be the same.
Final add for any Neo4j experts who actually know what they're doing, I have three databases running, two without issue. This occurred AFTER I was messing around trying to see how PowerShell might be useful. Not sure if this is related, but the other databases have worked fine...but, this db is the original playground/sandbox I'd had since the beginning. Not 100% sure, I made the version update before or after, creating the other two databases. HTH.
Using a windows trial version on a Windows 10 machine. Current N4j version is 3.4.1.
Do love what I see so far with Neo BTW!!!
Please mention the correct bolt port under the Connect URL textbox.if you are using the service port the mention the service port in place of bolt port.
Then finally I resolve it by replacing the bolt port with service port inside k8s.
user: neo4j
password: neo4j
I resolve this error by replace the port 7687 with node port 30033 inside Neo4j
then it works fine.
I was facing the same issue with Neo4J version 4 installed on an Ubuntu 18 EC2 instance. Tthe workaround that did the trick for me was to replace the 0.0.0.0 entries in /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf with the actual private IP of my instance.
Following are the lines where the replace happened:
dbms.default_listen_address=172.X.X.232
dbms.connector.bolt.address=172.X.X.232:7687
Post restart of the DB, the Connect URL when accessing from browser should also use the private IP instead of localhost.

Python Flask server add another port to domain

Initial Condition:
I have a Python Flask server running on a remote machine that I am accessing via Linux(OpenSuse) command line. The server works perfect. It renders the html for xyz.com:5000.
Problem:
I am a new user added. I want the server to read my .py files.
What do I do? Do I need a new port number?
Or will it be xyz.myusername.com:5000?
What configurations do I have to change?
Does the superuser need to intervene?
Thanks!
Flask's built-in server is not intended for production use - or at least, the documentation refers to it as a "local development server".
For production, something like Tornado, gunicorn, or even Apache is what you'll need to be using.
See also: Flask documentation covering the Flask.run() method.
That said - it's just a Python program. There's no reason you couldn't run your own on a different port via app.run(port=5001).
Can you be a bit more specific about your issue? What do you mean by 'you are a new user added' - what user, where added? What do you mean by 'the server to read your .py files' - server as the remote machine you're referring to, or server as Flask http dev server, or something else? Without precise description of your environment (OS type for example), what you want to achieve (instead asking should you do X or Y) and what problem you're ecountering (not knowing how your software, like Flask works is not actual problem) we wont be able to help you.

RoR app deployed on Heroku and working with SQL Server database

Is it feasible to have a Ruby on Rails app, which is:
a) deployed on Heroku, and
b) working with a remote SQL Server database?
I take it that I'll need unixODBC installed on Heroku, but I cannot find a way to do so. Is this possible?
Or, is there any other way (without ODBC?) to accomplish this?
Thank you very much for any guidance or tip.
Updated:
Some info on the subject:
1) Heroku pre-installs both unixODBC and FreeTDS by default, so you already have them.
2) Also, it is possible to run shell commands via Heroku Console in backticks, e.g.:
heroku console
`odbcinst`
(runs "odbcinst" command in Heroku shell and shows the result)
3) You do not have access to filesystem outside of your slice where the packages are installed. If you only need a driver path, Heroku support can provide it (/usr/lib/odbc/libtdsodbc.so in my case).
4) You cannot run sudo commands in Heroku shell.
At the moment, to connect to MS SQL Server you at least need to append ‘freetds.conf’ file. Even when using tinyTDS (there is an open ticket#2 in tinyTDS gitgub issue page). DSN-less connection instructions from "wiki.rubyonrails.org SLASH database-support SLASH ms-sql" didn’t work for me, I guess this connection requires some extra-configuration either.
‘freetds.conf’ cannot be modified without sudo. Therefore, I conclude that currently there is no way to make MS SQL and Heroku work together.
I’ve managed to set up this connection with EngineYard and activerecord-sqlserver-adapter.
I followed these instructions:
https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter/wiki/Platform-Installation---Ubuntu
(there are only some filepath differences, e.g. ‘odbc.ini’ is located in ‘/etc/unicodbc’, not in ‘/etc’ - this is easy to work out).
I installed 'unixODBC' and 'freetds' packages using EY Unix Packages feature, and made all configurations manually through SSH. Sudo is available in EY (no password required). There is also Chef Recepes feature to automate those configurations (seems to be pretty easy, I'm going to try it tomorrow).
Hope this is helpful.
It is possible.
Because Heroku copies/symlinks its own config/database.yml over whatever you supply in your repository, you may need to take additional steps (e.g. in config/environments/production.rb or in config/initializers/remote_mssql_from_heroku.rb) to set up your application appropriately.
You will face the challenge, however, that traffic from Heroku to your MSSQL database will traverse the public internet. By default, this traffic will not be encrypted. Potentially everyone in the world will be able to monitor your traffic between your Heroku application and your database, and even alter the traffic in-flight, whether for benign or malicious purpose, without you being able to detect it. MS SQL offers the capability to connect over SSL. This capability requires explicit configuration in the MSSQL server, so you must be able to access and modify that configuration. Additionally, this configuration requires that your client library be up-to-date and capable of talking with MSSQL over SSL. Note that MSSQL server will enforce that your server certificate list a Common Name or Subject Alternative Name exactly matching or wildcard-matching the server's FQDN (at least, the FQDN that the server knows about), and that the client use an FQDN for the server exactly matching or wildcard-matching one of the names on the certificate.
I've successfully used the following article which uses Heroku's newer buildpack feature to use TinyTDS and connect remotely to SQL Server 2008 R2. I'm still investigating how I could encrypt traffic. Hope this helps others!

We're having a similar problem where we're needing to import old data from a SQL Server database into our new app. The data isn't a straight table import, but needs to undergo some processing and conversions. We've built an import layer for this which lives in a private gem, so as to not pollute the new app with the old data conversion issues. This approach is also designed to permit incremental updates, as we get closer to launch we'll keep syncing records up to the moment of switch-over.
Heroku told us that it's not trivial to connect to SQLServer, in particular as they don't support FreeTDS. Their support staff recommended to run an instance with the import gem from a laptop in our office and configure it to connect to their database (which requires a dedicated DB, not the free shared one). This sounded like the most palatable approach to us.
Secondly, regarding security that was mentioned by #Justice, we discussed configuring SSL for SQLServer with the hosting company and they pointed out the complexities of this. They recommended VPN as an easier solution. As we don't have office-side VPN hardware, the simplest and free solution proved to be an SSH tunnel.
We've set up an SSH tunnel from the laptop to the SQLServer Windows box. That was straightforward. We had CopSSH installed on Windows (which comes with a Linux shell, by the way) and we were able to simply set up a tunnel, having the laptop talk to localhost for its SQLServer connection, i.e.:
ssh -L 1433:localhost:1433 user#windows_server_name
I did not know Heroku has FreeTDS on it? I was told they did not. TinyTDS if used with FreeTDS 0.91 can have a zero freetds.conf dependency and be driving by runtime connection args. We are looking into building an Ubuntu 10.4 native gem that statically links 0.91 with OpenSSL so you can just drop it into Heroku and us it to connect to Azure and/or you own outside DB.

Rails 2.3.8 in IIS6

My server is running on IIS6, and i having trouble with setting up rails with IIS.
1st) is there any posible way to run Nginx on a domain:80 while therest:80 are running on IIS?
2nd) How should I make it work on IIS6 because despite follow the instruction here http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/02/18/10-steps-to-get-Ruby-on-Rails-running-on-Windows-with-IIS-FastCGI.aspx , I just can't get it to work. Result is a "Directory Listing Denied" error.
Thank you very much.
I see two options if IIS is a necessity:
I would propose to investigate IronRuby, which integrates better with IIS.
Otherwise I would run nginx on another port, and let IIS forward a certain path to that instance.
Personally i have deployed on windows, but just used apache and a mongrel-cluster.
When i was looking at it, IronRuby did not yet offer the integration with IIS; and i found very little information concerning how to configure IIS to do what i wanted.
Good luck! :)
1.) No, there is no way you can have 2 different programs running on the same port, it's simply not possible. But you can change either one to run on different ports (for example, if you want Nginx as the "primary", give it port 80 and change IIS to 8080 or whatever). Or, as #nathanvda mentions, you could use a redirect script from one to send certain paths to the other (port & path).
2.) The "Directory Listing Denied" error suggests that either (a) you haven't set the directory permissions correctly in IIS--be sure that Execute Permissions allow scripts in all your Ruby directories, or (b) the handler mapping which directs files to use the Ruby interpreter via FastCGI is not set correctly--double-check step 8 or check other sources for more details on this setting.

Symfony with only FTP access

I'm currently developing on my local pc, to which I have complete access of course.
However to my production server I have only FTP access.
Now, this step
http://www.symfony-project.org/getting-started/1_4/en/05-Web-Server-Configuration
On Symfony's installation guide, suggests that I need to edit the httpd.conf
I was wondering if there's an alternative since I don't have access to it on production.
Try reading this. I haven't tried installing Symfony on a shared host, but I see no reason for it not to work.
Generally shared hosts allow you to set configuration parameters in .htaccess files, so you can override httpd.conf without modifying it.
