Apache 1.3.33 to Apache2

**renevanh** · 11-08-2005

I installed Debian 3.1, and couldn't get Apache2 to work, so I installed apache 1.3.33, because I needed to host some files.
Now I had some time, I removed Apache2, downloaded the .tar.gz file from www.apache.org, and installed it.

Webmin does reconize it now, but the httpserver is still running on 1.3.33
Somewhere should be a file which includes a line, which says the OS which httpd.conf must be used, and in which folder it is.

Can anyone tell me which file this is, so I can get Apache2 as the httpserver, and remove Apache 1.3.33?

Regards,

René

How are you starting apache? Most likly the problem is that you are starting apache not apache2, which I think you start with

Code:

apache2 -k start

(well something like that), and you'll have to stap apache 1.3 from starting at boot by removing the bootup command to start it which should be in /etc/rd.d or /etc/init.d (it varies form distro to distro).

When you installed apache2 it should have created a directory /etc/apache2 in which all the config files go, so you might want to copy your http.conf files there etc.

Both Apache 1.3.33 and Apache2 are started on boot.

I got another idea: Uninstall Apache2, uninstall Apache 1.3.33, reinstall Apache2, and it should work properly...

In that case the question is: How do I uninstall Apache 1.3.33?
(Apache2 is not the problem -> make uninstall)

Try as root

Code:

apt-get remove apache

Got Apache 1.3.33 removed, and Apache2 too.

Reinstalled Apache2. Result: Apache2 installed... in /usr/local/apache2 !

What the...

well... who cares? Just need to resetup the httpd.conf file. Piece of cake :P

OK, Apache2 is up and running, everything is working fine.

I'm now installing PHP5.0.5 to support PHP files, which I use myself sometimes.
There's just one thing I need to know: how do I tell Apache it can support PHP files?
I did it once in Windows XP, but it must be a little bit else in Linux...
Same question for MySQL btw...

{EDIT} installing PHP5, I wish...
./configure can't find the libxml2 installdir, but when I apt-get install libxml2, it says the newest version is already installed...
WHAA!

I've never used MySQL...so I'll let others help you with that.

For php you'll have to install mod_php, and then add a fel lines to your apache config file.

You might want to have a look at something like http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Apache-Co...tml/index.html for some help in setting both mysql and php.

Edit: If you want php on your system why not just use apt-get

Code:

apt-get install php

-- also make sure you update with apt-get so that you are downloading and installing teh latest versions

Code:

apt-get update

Why didn't I thought about that...?

Hmmm... won't work, can't find package php, and when I try with php5, it says it can't install it, however there are some other packages which directs to it...

You could try and search apt-get for php with something like

Code:

apt-get search php

(I'm not 100% about the syntax of that since I'm not a deb kinda guy).

**renevanh** · 11-12-2005

Code:

apt-cache search php

that's the one

Can't find php5, so I installed php4

Now how do I tell Apache2 that it should support php...
