Netscape front-end for end-users

Netscape front-end for end-users

Post by Daniel Exbraya » Wed, 14 Jun 2000 04:00:00



I am building my own web site for private use, and I would like to give
to the end users only the ability to browse the site and to do nothing
else more ( e.g. to be not able to use File, Edit, View, Tools, ...
menus from Netscape ) and I would like that the opened session ( KDE
under
Linux RH6.1 ) give access to only netscape and nothing else ( I want
that the
user not able to kill Nestcape, or if he does so, Netscape re-run again,
not
able to iconify netscape, ...)

Please anyone is able to answer the above two questions, or at least
could
anyone give me some indications or forum or mailing lists.

Netscape front-end for end-users

You can't do that with Netscape - it's not open source...
But you could do that with kfm, with some code hacking, and by running
only kfm when X starts (and maybe a reduced window manager as well).

This will be very easy to do with konqueror, BTW. You have one
configuration
file to edit, and you can remove all the menu items and toolbar buttons
you want - even the location bar if you don't want it.
But konqueror is certainly not stable enough to be used publically, yet.
Can this wait until August/September ? :-)

David,

Will I be able to use Konqueror without having to use KDE? Right
now, I use Enlightenment, all on its own, as my window manager,
and in order to use KFM, I have to provide:

        kfmclient openURL file:/home/me

In order to bootstrap KFM (then I can have it receive http links
from Emacs -- very nice).

Will Konqueror be useful as a stand-alone web/file browser?

I did this for a Cafe machine once. Machine booted into xdm. When the user logged in
the xdm config ran Netscape and nothing else. When they closed netscape, they went
back to the login screen. Worked great except for java.......

Yes.

The same works with konqueror. Exactly the same (I didn't even rename
kfmclient, for that exact reason).

Yup.

Quote:> Will Konqueror be useful as a stand-alone web/file browser?

Yes. It starts a few things it needs in the background, but it works
fine.

1. Proxy Bad Gateway (502) Errors between front-end ssl and back-end mod_perl server!

Problem:

Intermittent Proxy Errors [502].  Cannot predict when they happen, but
it is frequent enough to be distressing.

Situation:

* Redhat linux 7.1 [Have the issue on a 7.3 test machine as well]
* Front end Apache server 1.3.22, mod_ssl, php, auth_mysql, mod_proxy,
etc.
  - Proxied connetcions are almost always SSL to the front end.
* Back end Apache server 1.3.22, mod_perl statix [also happens if
DSO].
  Running on same machine, different port [81].  [Problem
  also happened on apache v1.3.17 before we upgraded].

Certain directories are proxied to the back-end mod_perl apache server
for processing with the following directives, i.e.

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /perl/ http://127.0.0.1:81/perl/
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 4096

I have tried different ProxyReceiveBufferSize values (0, 63353, 4096)
and
it still gives the issue

Diagnosis:

When the situation happens, we have

* With both servers at LogLevel "debug"
* No messages or non-200 lines generated in the log files of the
back-end server.
* No messages generated in the front-end server log
* Only 502 lines in the front-end access log

This situation does NOT seem to depend on what page is accessed very
much,
* Different pages produce the problem intermittently
* Hitting refresh over and over on the same [proxied] page sometimes
  produces the proxy error.

Excerpt of httpd.conf for the back-end server:

Timeout 300
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 8
MaxSpareServers 16
StartServers 8
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

Alias     /perl/   /xd1/homes/httpd/luxsci.com/member-cgi/
<Location /perl/>
   PerlSetEnv     PERL5LIB /xd1/homes/httpd/luxsci.com/perl/
   PerlRequire    /usr/local/apache-perl/conf/perl_startup.pl
   SetHandler     perl-script
   PerlHandler    Apache::Registry
   Options        ExecCGI
   PerlSendHeader On  
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.
</Location>

ANY Help would be GREATLY appreciated!  I have been struggling with
this problem for a long time now.
