WE-USB, my (or Kahaf’s) first project is now up and running. You may visit it at http://www.we-usb.com

Quote for their homepage:

WE-usb is a free virtual memory stick service for you to simply store or share your personal photos, videos and documents online.

As stated above, the project was developed and delivered on behalf of Kahaf (software development startup).

It should be noted that I did the backend development for the site (in Ruby on Rails — RoR). Thanks to Gary and Nadeem for their cooperation during the course of the project.

Recently I was trying to configure apache2 to act as a proxy to mongrel (Ruby on Rails), so I added the following directives to my httpd.conf

<virtualhost *>

    ServerName test.example.com
    <proxy *="">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </proxy>
    # Proxy directives
    ProxyPass /phpmyadmin ! # don't want proxy forwarding for phpMyAdmin
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPreserveHost on

    # Logfiles
    ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/test.example.com.error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/test.example.com.access.log combined

</virtualhost>
</pre>

In short it has to do something with permissions in SELinux which doesn’t allow httpd to connect to network and the solution is this command:

Thanks to the help found here and here.
