Apache (httpd) in Fedora Core 1


Recommended Posts

:crazy: I have been going nuts trying to figure oput why my apache web server won't run, I have previously set-up a server on my windows box and wanted to get the thing running in Linux. Therefore I compiled a a set of screenshots of my set-up and the error in hope that someone can pick a mistake or has had this error and can tell me how to fix it..Please note: I am n00b when it comes to linux servers..so be kind :)

on the fourth screen (app.jpg), it says that the httpd service is stopped. You have to start it by hitting the start button in the menu. Try it and see if it works. Also, your files should go in the /var/www/html (i think) folder.

Document Root is where you wish to share. By *default*, in RH/Fedora, its in /var/www/html --- which is about as secure as an a wet paper bag. To be honest, I've never used the gui setup utility. Try opening your httpd.conf in gedit/kedit/pico/nano/etc. ... and see if you can see where its tripping on itself.

The error is letting you know its the configuration - probably something the gui setup utility isn't showing/editing. Sometimes Caveman style is best ;)

:no: still no luck LOL even by manually editing the config.. I mean what's annoying even more... is I compiled it from a tarball the other night and loaded it.. and then people couldnt access it as it wasnt the "build in version" or so I believe

I don't know for sure, but if you're not using the stock apache the gui provided by redhat may be generating an invalid config file, try starting with a default one, I'm not sure where it resides though.

Kemical has a good idea. Post your config file. That will be the easiest way to see whats going on. A lot of us don't use the gui to configure apache.

;) see, what I found odd is I can't for the love of god find the damn executable... yet there httpd files on /etc/httpd/ // that is where the config files are
