Trying To Setup Apache

[Daleswanson]

Ok I had Apache 1.3 awhile ago, and it worked fine. Now I'm trying to set up 2.0 and I can't seem to get it to happen. I can get to my site using 127.0.0.1 and that's it. I'm on a linksys router, but it's still setup from the last time I had Apache working.

There are some modifications in your httpd.conf file you will ave to make....I think. Apache's website would have more on this (moving from 1.3 to 2)

Maybe in your httpd.conf instad of 'Listen *.80' or whatever it has, change it to "Listen 192.168.1.2:80' with your IP instead of my webserver's internal ip.

i'm using mandrake 10. during installation, we were asked to select pakcages. so i select web sever -which i assume it will install Apache 2.0 + mySQL +php, and SMB ( i select all the options). but i can't find this Apache sort of control panel. is there any server control panel or i have to install this Apache manually?

webserver is apache only. use the control center for mandy 10 and the install software thingy to install "apache" "php" and "mysql". i _think_ it is called rpmdrake. i don't remember off hand. it is a GREAT tool though.

follow this (http://www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi/) guide to set up the repositories for urpmi. post back with any problems/comments

Daleswanson -- any luck??

sorry but, i can't find what you called as control centre. i'm on KDE. what i found is Configure Computer. aarrgghhh... where is it?

[drummerboy195]

There is a very nifty tool in Mandrake that can be used specifically to this end. You probably should set up the urpmi thing as described above, and then, as root type

urpmi drakwizard

and then run drakwizard. It works quite well so far as I have used it.


I just looked, and I only have 1.3, not 2.0. I have no idea how well the above information will work.

that sounds like it. i don't use mandrake so i don't know what it is called.

You are in the right place, its just a matter of having the package 'drakwizard' installed. That is the Mandrak Control Center module that will let you configure a number of different servers, but it is not installed by default, presumably to keep people who dont know what they are doing from making their / writable to an anon. FTP user. :D

Once you install the drakwizard package, you should find something like what you are looking for.

but i can't find this Apache sort of control panel. Where did you see a reference to this?....gotta link? Do you mean "apachectl"?

[fatTrav]

apache is prolly best installed using the rpmdrake or whatever it is called.

apache is setup and configured though the httpd.conf file. there might be some GUI tools to configure it, but httpd.conf isn't terribly difficult to get configured to get something up and running. apache docs are pretty good.

apachectl is used to start|stop|restart apache

there are two current versions of Apache 1.3 and 2.0. Both work great and pretty much do the same thing. 2.0 has a lot of newer, possibly not quite as tested features as 1.3. 1.3 works just fine though. the syntax for httpd.conf is different for the 1.3 series and the 2.0 series i must point out. (porting to 2.0 isn't hard though, likewise to 1.3)
