View hosting without domain.

[ghost]

Would it be possible to add something to view the files on a hosting account via a browser without having to use a domain. For example, with cPanel, you can access node.example.org/~username and it will show the Files on the hosting for that account. If you could, that would be great.

Added as a feature request - will look to implement in future.

Thanks :)

[allebb]

No problem :)

Basically this is the DNS-less preview. Windows:

</virtualhost>
# Add Alias for DNS-Less Previews
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
DocumentRoot c:/zpanel/panel/
AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) c:/zpanel/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2
<Directory c:/zpanel/hostdata>
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.php
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir c:/zpanel/temp
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

Need to replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your server's public IP and may need to update the paths for your OS (Current paths are for Windows) You enter this as a Global ZPanel/Sentora Entry in Module Admin>Apache Admin This could be customized to use your main panel domain instead of IP Example usage: http://75.68.13.153/~zadmin/mach-hosting_com/

Added to Global Sentora on CentOS and has appeared to stop Apache from starting.

[allebb]

Did you update the paths ;) - If Apache isn't working check the Apache error logs on your server, it should help pinpoint what the problem is bud.

[ghost]

This doesn't work for CentOS and will stop Apache from starting.

[allebb]

How come you close it? - Did you not want me to implement this feature in future? (so you can easily enable and it be supported in the panel?)

@TGates71 gave you the example as a quick work around for now :)

[ghost]

Yes, sorry. Def want it adding. Must have clicked the wrong button.

[TGates71]

This works on ALL OS that run apache. You must not have updated the paths properly. OOPS! recheck the addition above, I forgot to add </virtualhost> at the beginning as I just copy/paste right from my settings.

Make sure you update c:/zpanel/ to your proper paths.

AFAIK this can be added in CentOS "/etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd.conf" file and add this line: AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) /var/sentora/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2

example httpd.conf: -# Sentora Apache Include file -# Written by Bobby Allen, 15/05/2011

-# Set the Sentora Alias (used for development, sable will eventually use a VHOST) -#Alias /Sentora /etc/sentora/panel

-# Set a default server name for the master configuration to supress Apache daemon warnings -ServerName localhost -AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) /var/sentora/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2 #<-- add it to this line -# Setup the directory settings and PHP security flags for the Sentora application directory. -<Directory /etc/sentora/panel>

• Options +FollowSymLinks
• DirectoryIndex index.php
• AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
• php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
• php_flag track_vars On
• php_flag register_globals Off
• php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/sentora/temp
• -

Yeah make sure to use correct path. then view your account/domain: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~useraccount/domain_dirpath/

I tried adding AliasMatch in Global Sentora Entry but it doesn't work.

Hi,

When I try the method above the error 403 Forbidden is showed. What I did wrong?

[drjaydenm]

@dssilva, I have gotten this to work on Ubuntu 14.04. Using @jd1pinoy solution of modifying the "/etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd.conf" file. Edit the "/etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd.conf" file and add the following lines:

AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) /var/sentora/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2

# Setup folder permissions for DNS-less sites
<Directory /var/sentora/hostdata>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.asp index.aspx index.jsp index.jspa index.shtml index.shtm
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off 
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/sentora/temp
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

The start of the modified file should now look something like this:

# Sentora Apache Include file
# Written by Bobby Allen, 15/05/2011

# Set the Sentora Alias (used for development, sable will eventually use a VHOST)
#Alias /Sentora /etc/sentora/panel

# Set a default server name for the master configuration to supress Apache daemon warnings
ServerName localhost
AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) /var/sentora/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2

# Setup folder permissions for DNS-less sites
<Directory /var/sentora/hostdata>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.asp index.aspx index.jsp index.jspa index.shtml index.shtm
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off 
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/sentora/temp
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

# Setup the directory settings and PHP security flags for the Sentora application directory.
<Directory /etc/sentora/panel>
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/sentora/temp
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

The key to fixing the 403 Forbidden errors seemed to be the Require all granted rule.

[TGates71]

Correct about the Require all granted. But you should NOT be editing the httpd.conf file rather add it as a Global Sentora Entry in Admin > Module Admin > Apache Config > Global Sentora Entry.

[drjaydenm]

I couldn't seem to get it to work correctly by placing the rules in the settings, it seemed to be ignored. Have you got any tips to get it working correctly?

[drjaydenm]

Just an update, I have managed to get this all working using the Global Sentora Entry in the Apache Settings in Sentora. All I needed to do was escape out of the VHost rule that Sentora places the content of the Global Sentora Entry into.

Following @TGates71 instructions, go to: Admin > Module Admin > Apache Config, and then add the following to the Global Sentora Entry field:

# Escape out of VHost config
</VirtualHost>

# Set the Sentora Alias (used for development, stable will eventually use a VHOST)
AliasMatch ^/~([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?(.*) /var/sentora/hostdata/$1/public_html/$2

# Setup folder permissions for DNS-less sites
<Directory /var/sentora/hostdata>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.asp index.aspx index.jsp index.jspa index.shtml index.shtm
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off 
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/sentora/temp
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

# Enter back into the VHost config
<VirtualHost *:80>

Once the daemon runs, and apache is restarted, this should work correctly and you should be able to access sites through a link like the following http://DOMAIN_NAME/~zadmin/SITE_FOLDER_NAME/

[Guillermonnn]

Thank you it works perfectly !!!!!

[erm3nda]

I tried and get a Forbidden. Shoul I change anything else?

[kemboidickson]

It works good, can I remove the "~zadmin" part?

[TGates71]

What do you mean? That us how you view the hosted pages with out a domain. ~[username]
