Can't find room rules link... just gonna ask. I am running a local WAMP setup with default configuration. I would like to configure it so that my server side scripts can touch my work LAN. When these scripts run on the command line, they can use network hosts/databases but nothing can be found when ran through Apache. I don't need this visible from the network necessarily. Can anyone offer up any direction?
I'm really just using apache out of it... with python. The whole thing is kind of a bunch of random things... it's just a proof-of-concept thing. Quick and dirty. Was trying to use what I could write fastest in.
this will be moved to linux if it makes it to production... just fyi. I don't know what I'm doing with networking things to begin with... but especially not windows.
So... it's a work LAN. Could it be.... an ldap issue? It's gotta be in the config. If the scripts run fine on the command line.... Apache probably isn't aware of the larger network...?
Consider a scenario where WAMP / Apache is NETWORK SERVICE and u set up your user in Apache's config; it won't be able to impersonate your user, neither is the NETWORK SERVICE given permissions to the folders you've set up your user as.
@Bob For that to be the case the services / processes need to start as SYSTEM; guess that's something we should look into first, because it's too much of a guess right now. :D
hmhmmmmhmmmm.......... so I didn't bring my laptop home bc I have some scheduled stuff during the night. Didn't think I would get bored enough to continue looking into this tonight.
So... I need to ensure that whatever/however Apache is running, I need to ensure that user/group has my permissions....... are we sure this is a permissions issue? Could it be anything else?
> Create a normal domain user account, and be sure to memorize its password. Grant the newly-created user a privilege of Log on as a service and Act as part of the operating system. On Windows NT 4.0 these privileges are granted via User Manager for Domains, but on Windows 2000 and XP you probably want to use Group Policy for propagating these settings. You can also manually set these via the Local Security Policy MMC snap-in. Confirm that the created account is a member of the Users group. Grant the account read and execute (RX) rights to all document and script folders (htdocs and cgi-bin…
I wish I had it here.... I've watched wampapache in the task manager. Can't remember what it ran as. If I can get it running under my username, is that enough? or does it need to be something more dedicated?

@gloomy.penguin This question confuses me; are you trying to 1) have your scripts retrieve resources from the network OR are you trying to 2) have the network retrieve information from your scripts?
k. awesome. thanks....! like I said, I can't try this out now but it definitely gives me a lot more to go on than I had before. I bookmarked the chat. Thanks again.
i searched for the wrong things.... "apache windows access lan" "apache windows access network"... it all came back about making it visible to the network.
@Bob: Another fun thing I'm noticing is my Chrome displaying "First use..." in the upper right corner, I guess it's another new feature I've been missing announcements about.
OK, got it to display my name FWIW. :D
Guessing this might be useful to create different sessions more easily...
Hmm, no, needs you to login. bummer So, only actual person switching.
Scratch that! I do not have to login, as it is a different session; awesome!
Got ttrss's mobile client set up on my phone during lunch ;p
Next, IRC, but I'm not sure which channels/servers I need, and if Androirc deals with connecting to the same server multiple times well, annnnd my usernames and passwords for it.
Ive noticed it on several sites, but main one im on is valoria.infinite-muse.com/index.php?act=idx Also i dont have any web proxies running, but my wireless automatically sets a proxy according to my network settings and i dunno how to stop it — Sheena46 mins ago
(As suggested by @JourneymanGeek) You could also try the TOR Browser Bundle - not permanently, but it would allow us to confirm or rule out the proxy or other network filtering as being the issue. You could also register an account here and join us in chat for more extended troubleshooting/guiding - comments and answers aren't really suited for a lot of back-and-forth, unfortunately. — Bob1 min ago
Although tbh iirc I've just once compiled from source. Installing pacakges is much easier and enable updates. And even then there can be annoying hidden dependencies. =/
But ANYTHING is better than "next-next-OK in malwareland".
@NoneOfYourBusiness Because there are people that help you pay attention on the tip of your toes. :)
@killermist: Feel free to continue here or (perhaps even better) in a separate chat room, if we continue there in parking style there will be too much noise in the comments. ;)
@OliverSalzburg: Well, I'm not planning to create a solution in a separate Q&A on my own. It doesn't work trying to set this up in the blank, at least from prior experience; and putting up a good list as well of good text to convince takes up a lot of work, that's why hitchhiking a self-demonstrating Q&A is preferable in an attempt to get multiple (2-3) people together to craft a solution.
My intention is to stop after that 5th comment as I've got nothing more to make clear there and do not want to push the solution in that Q&A at all, just checking for interest.
Wishing there was some option to split off the parking discussion; it's a bit too verbose to take place there, but it should get us (killermist and me) to a consensus that's going to convince us (killermist and me) more than just those thoughts. As parkings are a real world example that's been extensively worked out, compared to a innovative Q&A site...
TL;DR:The information overload world we're in results in creating a lack of information (whether reading or writing it).Both ends of the spectrum is noise... :)
(The opposite [lack -> overload] can be true as well)
@OliverSalzburg Yeah, I think it depends very much on the question; some are plain wondering, other have an actual problem underneath and can be salvaged. Some example on SO I've found that illustrates how such type of question can work:
Sometimes it is not obvious; another example question Why did organization X create framework Y? might seem curious and subjective at first, but might be a vital part of the OPs ability to understand the difference between the frameworks and decide between them.

Slate published an article recently, titled The Global Internet Is Being Attacked by Sharks, Google Confirms. Despite being catchy and all, most of the references seem to be other news outlets or actually contradict the claim.
Are there any sources supporting or contradicting that sharks are a t...

I get � or a question mark in a diamond. What does it mean? It does it on both chrome and firefox.
