Actually
there is nothing really interresting to report. During holidays - and after that - Diana kept up and running even when temperatures raised to unhealthy heights of over 35 degrees Centigrade. Just the occasional spam (in comes in by numbers - need to get the real addresses of the backwardly unresolvable domains) and spurious attempts to run PERL and PHP on the webserver where the attempted applications don't exist. No FTP atempts at all, for weeks now. Do they finally learn?
Still have to create a script to scan the weblogs for "bad requests" as mentioned, but there is so much to do...
WASD
for one thing. I am attempting to transfer my webs to WASD - on port 82, for the moment (which cannot be accessed from the outside), it works fine but accessing www.grootersnet.nl:82 fails with a 404 error: cannot find the server. But that could well be a router issue since port 82 is not mapped. If that is even the case when requested from the local network, it's nasty but workable when using a local address. One more thing to try. If any of the webs could be accessed that way (that is: without a problem) I will rename all services to the proper ones - and to port 80, so I'll be running WASD then.
Well, there still are a few hicks in PHP and PERL but these are of less concern - at the moment.
