Is there a way to apply Apache server config (in httpd.conf) to Openshift PHP application? I need to add a configuration so that Apache acts as reverse proxy for specific URL pattern and those requests need to be handled by a java application also hosted in Openshift. But I do not have access to httpd.conf file and only root user has access to it. The file I am referring to is (php/configuration/etc/conf/httpd.conf)
The users do not have permissions to edit the hhtpd.conf file in PHP cartridges I know of.
However, you can develop your own cartridge, that will have it configured according to your needs. You can find more about creating cartridges here.

I am trying to install and configure Tricentis on a server and want the process of setting the configuration to be automated. I have searched the document but there was no mention of any unattended method for configuring.
We cannot directly update the appsettings.json as it has a clientID which is generated everytime
I have 2 server at which I am working locally. The first is a front-end in Vuejs, and the second is back-end in Flask. From the client I request an api to the second.
I have to upload these two on a remote Linux VM (Debian), for which I have credentials and I can successfully connect it via PuTTy.
How do I transer my 2 directories to the VM?
Then, I should change the address that the client uses for api requests of the server, that is all? Or I will have to do something else?
You can copy directories by the scp or sftp protocol. In your case, this can be done most easily by the winscp software.
Both scp, sftp (implemented by winscp) and ssh (implemented by putty) use the ssh protocol. Putty is for remote terminal (i.e. you can give commands to the server), while winscp uploads, downloads and manages files on it.
If you are developing something, it is likely that you will need to this deployment more regularly. These softwares are only good for single-time deployments. In professional environments this deployment is automatized and happens quickly.
It is very likely that you also have some database in your project. Here the most common options are either some db-level synchronization, or dumping the database into files and synchronizyng on the file level. But it is already another topic.
It is also unlikely that you will need two different VMs for the vuejs and for the flask. You could wire them together to a single VM, that would make your task far more easy.
You will likely have a hard time to make your deployment on your server well working. This all is just the beginning. But don't worry, after you've learnt it all, it will be easy!
Ok so I have an app with a Node/Express API and everything works fine on localhost. I'm trying to figure out how to make everything work on CPanel that's running on Apache. The client side stuff but I am unable to fetch any data from the backed. I've searched and looked, yes, but I'm still quite unsure on how to approach this. Do I have to use a Virtual Host and if so what are the specific steps I need to do?
NodeJS doesn't run on Apache or Nginx. Most you can do in these web servers is to set a reverse proxy.
NodeJS has its own web-server. cPanel won't help you in that regard, since you only need to install NodeJS on your server (you must have SSH access-root), and run it from there. You can daemonize your Node process to keep running installing PM2 or Forever (NPM Packages).
Here's a good answer (search before asking, the issue might be solved by then).
Run node.js on cpanel hosting server
cPanel typically runs Apache or another web server that is shared among all the cPanel/unix accounts. The web server listens on port 80. Depending on the domain name in the requested URL, the web server uses "Virtual Hosting" to figure out which cPanel/unix account should process the request, i.e. in which home directory to find the files to serve and scripts to run. If the URL only contains an IP address, cPanel has to default to one of cPanel accounts.
Ordinarily, without root access, a job run by a cPanel account cannot listen on port 80. Indeed, the available ports might be quite restrictive. If 8080 doesn't work, you might try 60000. To access a running node.js server, you'll need to have the port number it's listening on. Since that is the only job listening on that port on that server, you should be able to point your browser to the domain name of any of the cPanel accounts or even the IP address of the server, adding the port number to the URL. But, it's typical to use the domain name for the cPanel account running the node.js job, e.g. http://cPanelDomainName.com:60000/ .
Of course port 80 is the default for web services, and relatively few users are familiar with optional port numbers in URLs. To make things easier for users, you can use Apache to "reverse proxy" requests on port 80 to the port that the node.js process is listening on. This can be done using Apache's RewriteRule directive in a configuration or .htaccess file. This reverse proxying of requests arguably has other benefits as well, e.g. Apache may be a more secure, reliable and manageable front-end for facing the public Internet.
Unfortunately, this setup for node.js is not endorsed by all web hosting companies. One hosting company that supports it, even on its inexpensive shared hosting offerings, is A2Hosting.com. They also have a clearly written description of the setup process in their Knowledge Base.
Finally, it's worth noting that the developers of cPanel are working on built-in node.js support. "If all of the stars align we might see this land as soon as version 68," i.e. perhaps early 2018.

I have created a JSON template to create the Amazon AWS LAMP stack with RDS (free tier) and succeffully created the stack. But when I tried to move the files to the var/www/html folder it seems to have no permission for the ec2-user. I know changing permission with help of SSH. But my intention is to create a template to setup a stack (hosting environment) without using any ssh client.
Also I know how to add a file or copy a zipped source to var/ww/html with the cloudformation JSON templating. What need to do is, just create the environment and later upload the files using ftp client and db using workbench or something. Please help me attain my goal, which I will share publicly for AWS beginners who are not familiar with setting up things with SSH.
The JSON template is a bit lengthy and so here is the link to the code http://pasted.co/803836f5
use the Cloud formation init Meta instead of Userdata.
That way you can run commands on the server such as pulling down files from S3 and then running gzip to expand them.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-init.html
tar files and distribution dependent files like .deb or .rpm include the file permissions for directories. So you could set up a tar or custom .rpm file to include ec2-user as the owner
Alternatively, whatever scripting element installs the apache could also run a set of updates to set the owner of the /var/www/html to ec2-user
Of course you might run into trouble with the User / Group that apache runs under and be able to upload with ftp but not able to read with apache. It would need some thought, and possibly adding the ec2-user to the apache group or ftp'ing as the apache user or some other combination that gives the ttpd server read access and the ssh user write access
I can not configure the proxy to download the dependencies:
Initially when I tried to build the project. received the message timeout. Now gotta find a configuration file that solved my problem in parts.
the file is net.properties which is inside the directory of the jdk, it is where I can specify the proxy server but can not get past the User and password for authentication.
any idea what to do?
You could try setting the following additional parameters in your net.properties file.
http.proxyUser=xxxxx
http.proxyPassword=xxxxx
Else, you can setup a local proxy server (with no authentication) which supports authentication to the proxy server you are using and point your net.properties to it.
Cheers.
