Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Ubuntu systems. It is based on the equivalent page on Debian, from which the Ubuntu Apache packaging is derived. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

If you are a normal user of this web site and don't know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.

Configuration Overview

Ubuntu's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Ubuntu tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server.

The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Ubuntu systems is as follows:

/etc/apache2/
|-- apache2.conf
|       `--  ports.conf
|-- mods-enabled
|       |-- *.load
|       `-- *.conf
|-- conf-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
|-- sites-enabled
|       `-- *.conf
          
  • apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
  • ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime.
  • Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
  • They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information.
  • The binary is called apache2 and is managed using systemd, so to start/stop the service use systemctl start apache2 and systemctl stop apache2, and use systemctl status apache2 and journalctl -u apache2 to check status. system and apache2ctl can also be used for service management if desired. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.
Document Roots

By default, Ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any file outside of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

The default Ubuntu document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www.

Reporting Problems

Please use the ubuntu-bug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Ubuntu. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.

Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to their respective packages, not to the web server itself.

Should You Buy a Car Prior to Filing Chapter 13?

Should You Buy a Car Prior to Filing Chapter 13?

You may want to consider buying a car prior to filing your Chapter 13 bankruptcy case.

Filing bankruptcy isn’t a matter of going to your bankruptcy lawyer’s office, plunking your money down, and signing a few documents. It involves planning.

First, there’s the obvious need to determine what chapter you should file under-typically 7 or 13, but, in a few instances, it could even be 11. Second, you and your lawyer need to do some bankruptcy planning, and in this post I’ll discuss planning for Chapter 13 by buying a vehicle.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy-if you’re over median income (using the six-month average prior to filing)-is a five-year process. If you’ve got an older car, you’re probably better off replacing it prior to filing. If it dies or begins “nickel and diming you to death” during your bankruptcy, you’ll need to file a motion to incur debt. You’ll have to make the case for needing that newer vehicle, and getting an order entered will take about a month.

Buying a car will also help you on the means test, which determines how much you’ll need to pay to your unsecured creditors in your plan. No car note means no ownership allowance on the means test. That, in turn, means (pardon the pun) that you lose $517 on the means test.

You must be mindful of how the purchase will look to the Chapter 13 trustee and, more importantly, the bankruptcy judge

Am I saying you buy the car to do better on the means test? No. But if you need a car, it’s best to take care of that prior to filing. And if that helps you on the means test, well, so be it.

Buy a high quality used car, and be sure you need to buy a vehicle. For example, if you have a 2008 model vehicle with 60,000 miles on it that you just paid off, I would not advise you to buy a newer car prior to filing. In contrast, however, if you owned a 2004 with 150,000, I would.
