Installing apache is as simple as running YAST -> Software -> Software Management. Search for apache and choose the apache2 package for installation. If the installation is successful, you can run apache by doing

#service httpd start

To run apache automatically at boot time, do

#chkconfig httpd on

The web pages are stored in /srv/www/htdocs or alternatively you can place them in ~/public_html and access them by doing something like http://servername/~userid/somepage.html . You may also want to install php, mysql and php-mysql.

Try '/usr/sbin/apache2ctl start' or cd to /usr/sbin and type './apache2ct start'.
You can also set it to run at different run-level in Yast , System, System Services(Runlevel). Here you can check to see if it enabled and also set runlevels at which you want it to run if you don't want to manually start it all the time. Click on the Expert Mode radio button, hi-lite apache2 and check the run level boxes at bottom. Click the 'Start/Stop/Refresh' button in lower left to start, click the Set/Reset button to enable or disable a service.

Sorry, I made an error above. The Apache 2 service is known as apache2 and not httpd in openSUSE. This means that you need to do

#service apache2 start

[lenfree84]

try #/prefix/bin/apache2ctl -k start where prefix is the directory where the apache is installed

I have never install linux before, but I was slated with installing Suse 10.3 in order to install Nagios! I loaded Suse but I am stuck with Nagios specifically with Apache2, sorry to hijack your post lenfree84!! I start the Software install, yast, find apache2, select it to install, accept, confirm, then I get the message, apache 2 cannot be installed due to missing dependencies, which is where I startecd with Nagios and how I ended up here. Oh and I can't even find c/c++ in the menu to complete the dependencies for Nagios? Sorry folks I am lost!!

thx.

What media are you using for the installation? The C/C++ tools are available on the dvd or the online repositories. The online repositories can be configured by doing YAST -> software -> community repositries. Add the main OSS, non OSS and any other repositories you need. You can then install the packages you need by going to YAST -> Software -> Software Management.
