how to install apache server into suse? Require some commands help

[vitalstrike82]

Hi, a noob in using this OS. Just started out today.

I'm a web programmer and i require to install the apache http server into suse.
How do i do it? i follow the guide from apache but cant get it thru and i do not know what the commands mean? this is what i have done.

i download the http-2.2.6.tar.gz.
On the console, heres what i type
- gzip -d httpd-2.2.6.tar.gz
- tar xvf httpd-2.2.6..tar
- ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

This is the error it shows
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr

Someone pls guide me.. what should i do? is it because i do not have a c compiler inside this new OS?

Thanks

Hey,

Apache - openSUSE has some documentation on setting up Apache on SUSE / OpenSUSE, and might be a good place to start.

It looks like you need to set the environmental variable, $PATH to point to a location of a C compiler, or install a C compiler (e.g. gcc) if you haven't already. The Unofficial OpenSUSE Guide is another useful site that may be able to help you out with setting up a compiler / Apache. Even though it is geared towards OpenSUSE, most of the information should be relevant to SUSE as well.

Goodluck!

You can install it along with often-required auxiliary apps like MySQL and Php as a Lamp server with one-click.

Here's a HowTo:
