Apache on FC4

How do I get the Apache server up and running on FC4?

You install apache2 (try using yum for this) and then you configure the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file to set it up, then you start it.

On Fedora, the config files are here:

/etc/httpd/conf

If that directory is present you have the package you need already installed.

If its not installed, use:

yum install httpd

See if it's already running - as root do:

service httpd status

If it isnt, then start your favourite runlevel editor in X and add it to your current run level (and any other runlevels you want it started in) and start it up.

You can also start it manually with

service httpd start

if you install it from sources it will be

Code:

 PREFIX/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Thank you Roxoff. It works well

Code:

&#91;root@wallace conf&#93;# service httpd status
httpd is stopped
&#91;root@wallace conf&#93;# service httpd start
Starting httpd&#58;                                            &#91;  OK  &#93;
&#91;root@wallace conf&#93;#

How do I add this in runlevel?

if you mean for it to start at boot-up add the process to /etc/init.d then symlink it into /etc/rc3.d

if you mean for it to start at boot-up add the process to /etc/init.d then symlink it into /etc/rc3.d

Don't you think that is way too tough for a beginner like me!

Isn't there some autoexec.bat like file where I can write commands to be executed at system startup?

if your using fedora, redhat-->system tools-->other services (something like that, the option at the top, sorry using XP atm)-->and select services. This will give you an easy to use gui to enable and disable startup items for different runlevels.

if this is a remote server, then install webmin, it can be installed with
#yum install webmin
or
#apt-get install webmin

whichever program you have. then you can access a very powerful web frontend to configure your system.

From KDE (on FC2, at least) the runlevel editor is here: K->System Settings->Server Settings->Services. The same tool is available from Gnome.

Alternatively, you can run system-config-services as root in an xterm.

Cool... Thanks for all the help.
