Understanding /etc/fstab

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Since firstly Ubuntu installed on my notebook, which is version 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) till now 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), i’ve confused about my partitions access. Some of them can accessed read-only and some of them can accessed fully. After searching Linux tutorial on google, finally I’ve found about fstab. Fstab is is a configuration file that contains information of all the partitions and storage devices in your computer and how storage should be mounted. The file is located under /etc, so the full path to this file is /etc/fstab.

SSL: Securing Your Web Server

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Today I’ve tried about how to securing my web server with SSL. As we know before, SSL provide a mechanism to encrypt all data that passed in the network, include on port 80 A.K.A HTTP. In web terminology, using SSL on a web server called secured HTTP or HTTPS. HTTPS implements Public Keys cryptoghraphy, that is two keys exists – Public Key and Private Key. Public Key can be owned by anyone that related on internet. But Private Key only can be owned by its true owner. A public key, holded by the Certification Authority (CA) so anyone can get it by sending a request to the CA. In the other hand, a Private Key, holded by the owner of web server, so no one can get it (except the owner it self).

Saya dapat dengan harga miring, karena kantong juga lagi menipis pengeluaran abis2an, 925K untuk perdana IM2 Broom + modem Sierra 875U. Setelah mendapatkan barangnya dan kartunya diaktifasi, modem saya tancapkan ke salah satu lubang port USB di Compaq. Saya periksa dmesg ternyata modem langsung dikenali, dan secara otomatis kernel menginstall driver Sierra versi 1.2.5.

Kolaborasi Apache dan Tomcat di Ubuntu

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Hari kmaren, dapet tugas dari bos tentang gimana caranya Apache dan Tomcat bisa berkolaborasi. Maksudnya kolaborasi mungkin seperti ini, Tomcat container tetep jalan di port 8080 begitu juga Apache server berjalan di port 80. Namun, untuk mengakses Aplikasi Web Java tidak perlu lagi menggunakan definisi port 8080, tapi cukup menggunakan port 80 milik Apache server. Jadi seakan-akan Aplikasi Web Java di virtual host kan ke Apache server. Begituu… Tujuan nya sih untuk mengembakan sebuah aplikasi web baru berbasis java dari aplikasi web lama berbasis cgi (freepascal)
