Greetings..

Well here is my ashaming truth: i don't in hell know how to use linux properly. I try but.. ok
Someone asked me to start an apache session under linux (red hat) and host some pages. the server is connected through a LAN to our router. I can 't simply get the whole thing started!! argh! I tried the FAQ and stuff on the official sites, but they all assume you know how to put the machine in action!! I DONT EVEN KNOW THIS.. (ok ok I suck alot)
So please help me on this one.. the boss is already taping his foot...

Thank you anyway!

Assuming it's already installed, just type:
at the prompt:
"httpd start"
That should start it. However, you'll need to read up on the the httpd.conf file so that you can learn how to set it up for hosting multiple websites. If you have any more questions post, and I'll try and help.

Thanks you for your previous response.
Well I started the thingie, trying to get out of it. I put an HTML page in the user directory, but when I start the beast, with httpd start (thanks again) it tell me
Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd/conf :
Invalid command 'clearmodulelist#', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

(I havent changed the base server configuration)

(damn I feel dumb... Linux does not like me...sniff :^/ )

Trying to get out of it?
httpd stop
You don't need clearmodule in there. Take that line out and see if it starts for you then.
