Installing Honey Pots

Validation error. Perl and PHP

Author: B.Marcos (13 Jan 05 5:53am)

Hello,

I'm trying to install the honeypot scripts in a FreeBSD system. I've tried both the PHP and the Perl versions, and with both I get the dreaded "validation error".

The software versions are:

Perl 5.005_03
p5-Digest-MD5-2.30

and PHP,

mod_php4-4.3.10,1 PHP Apache Module
php4-ctype-4.3.10 The ctype shared extension for php
php4-extensions-1.0 A "meta-port" to install PHP extensions
php4-mhash-4.3.10 The mhash shared extension for php
php4-mysql-4.3.10 The mysql shared extension for php
php4-overload-4.3.10 The overload shared extension for php
php4-pcre-4.3.10 The pcre shared extension for php
php4-posix-4.3.10 The posix shared extension for php
php4-session-4.3.10 The session shared extension for php
php4-sockets-4.3.10 The sockets shared extension for php
php4-tokenizer-4.3.10 The tokenizer shared extension for php
php4-xml-4.3.10 The xml shared extension for php
php4-zlib-4.3.10 The zlib shared extension for php

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22 The Apache 1.3 webserver with SSL/TLS functionality

Any ideas?

Yikes, the dreaded validation error!

From what I can tell your apache is configured with the server name as 'geller' rather than www.arp-sapc.org or arp-sapc.org. Perl/PHP are probably pulling that value when scripts query for the SERVER_NAME.

In your httpd.conf, you might want to try replacing:

ServerName geller

with:

ServerName www.arp-sapc.org
ServerAlias arp-sapc.org
ServerAlias geller

for the same effect.
