This is what I would do:

Install and configure Apache web server.

Open firewall port.

Create an index page to redirect users to the new website.

Okay, I don't normally use debian, so I am not extremely familiar with the structure, and I don't know if this is the "best" way to do this, but I would do it like this:

1) Login as root:

su -

2) Download the source code for Apache web server from:

http://download.filehat.com/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz

wget http://download.filehat.com/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz

3) Decompress and extract source:

gzip -d httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz

tar -xvf httpd-2.2.9.tar

4) Configure, make, make install (build the source for your environment)

cd httpd-2.2.9

./configure

make

make install

5) Apache web server is now installed, we need to configure the port.

cd /etc/httpd/conf/

vi httpd.conf

Here you must edit Apache's configuration file, and set it to listen on the correct port.

Change the line that reads: "Listen 80" to "Listen 8022" or whatever port you want.

You can make changes to the file by first pressing "i" to enter into VI's edit mode.

To save, hit ESC to return to command mode and type "wq".

6) Create a new index.html page.

vi /var/www/html/index.html

Edit the page to have this HTML:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://www.neowin.net/">
</head>
<body>
This page has moved to <a href="http://neowin.net/">http://neowin.net/</a>
</body>
</html>

Save the file the same way as before.

7) Alter your firewall rules.

This step is platform and install specific.

If your using gnome and iptables click on System -> Administration -> Firewall.

Open up port 8022.

8) Start/Restart Apache web server.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Thats it.

Hope it works for you.

I wasn't sure if aptitude was installed by default on Debian systems so I went with the compiler.

Thanks, that certainly makes it a lot easier.

Just a quick question about it though.

Without using sudo for each step he won't be able too:

1) Edit apache's configuration file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

2) Change anything in /var/www/

3) Restart the apache2 daemon

...right?

Why not just use 'su -'?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
