36 Chapter 3 Managing Websites
Setting Up the SSL Log for a Website
If you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on your web server, you can set up a file to
log SSL transactions and errors.
To set up an SSL log:
1 In Server Admin, click Web for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 In the Sites pane, double-click the site you want to edit.
4 In the Security pane, make sure Enable Secure Sockets Layer is checked, then enter the
pathname for the folder where you want to keep the SSL log in the SSL Log File field.
You can also use the Browse button to navigate to the folder.
5 Click Save.
Web service restarts.
Enabling PHP
PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a scripting language embedded in HTML that is
used to create dynamic webpages. PHP provides functions similar to those of CGI
scripts, but supports a variety of database formats and can communicate across
networks via many different protocols. The PHP libraries are included in
Mac OS X Server, but are disabled by default.
See “Installing and Viewing Web Modules” on page 61 for more information on PHP.
To enable PHP:
1 In Server Admin, click Web for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 In the Modules pane, scroll to php4_module in the module list and click Enabled for
the module, if necessary.
4 Click Save.
Web service restarts.
User Content on Websites
Mac OS X client has a Personal Web Sharing feature, where a user may place content in
the Sites folder of his or her home directory and have it visible on the web. Mac OS X
Server has much broader web service capability, which can include a form of personal
web sharing, but there are important differences between Mac OS X client and
Mac OS X Server.
