You realy should try to bring us much more information, like:

. You do not say which version of openSUSE you use.

. You say you installed apache, but you do not tell how. You used YasT > Software> Software management and then fron the Patterns View you scrolled down to Server functionality and installed LAMP server?, or .............?

. You say try to run it, but again you do not tell what you did. Did you use YaST > System > System Services (Runlevel) and started from there? Or ............

You should not think that the way you do things is the only feasable way to do things, nor that it is the same way that all others "of course" do it. There are mosly many ways to achieve the same result in Unix/Linux and we, being not clairvoyant, can not know which way you walked.

First of all: How did you install apache2?
The version included in openSUSE works fine here. (and it does contain the module "authz_default", which seems to be missing on your installation...)

**mbi0** · 07-May-2013, 07:43

Hello Guys i am using Opensuse 12.3

I installed just like you said, YasT > Software> Software management and then fron the Patterns View you scrolled down to Server functionality and installed LAMP server
after noticing that it didnt worked i un installed and reinstalled using terminal commands like zypper in apache2 , but got the same results.

I try to run it using YaST > System > System Services (Runlevel) and started from there , also i tryed to start it with the command in terminal rcpache2 Start

**wolfi323** · 07-May-2013, 08:13

And which versions have you installed?
Please post the output of:

Code:

rpm -qa | grep apache

With the versions from the standard openSUSE repo I don't get those error messages, and I do have "DefaultType text/plain" in line 140 of httpd.conf f.e.
My guess is you enabled an additional repo and have installed apache-2.4. The problem with this is that it is largely incompatible with 2.2's config files...

**mbi0** · 07-May-2013, 09:43

Thanks for your help wolfi323

yeah seems like i do hve 2.4 instead of 2.2 may be with a repo I added and didnt noticed
here its the output you asked for

Code:

mbi0@mbi0:~> rpm -qa | grep apache
apache2-utils-2.4.3-14.1.x86_64
apache2-mod_php5-5.4.14-179.1.x86_64
apache2-example-pages-2.4.3-14.1.x86_64
apache2-prefork-2.4.3-14.1.x86_64

Well, regarding apache 2.4 I found those bugreports:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813705
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748509

So I really would recommend to switch back to the 2.2 versions:

Code:

sudo zypper in -f apache2-utils-2.2.22 apache2-mod_php5-5.3.17 apache2-example-pages-2.2.22 apache2-prefork-2.2.22 apache2-doc-2.2.22 apache2-2.2.22

And you should remove that repo again.

After installing the 2.2 packages apache should start with the standard configuration and show a test page when you call "http://localhost/" in your browser.

No, that's ok.
The whole php5 was switched back to the standard repo as well, because we switched back apache2-mod_php5.

Also when trying to start i got this message :

Code:

mbi0:/home/mbi0 # rcapache2 start
redirecting to systemctl  start apache2
Warning: Unit file of apache2.service changed on disk, 'systemctl --system daemon-reload' recommended.

Do as the message says.
Running

Code:

systemctl --system daemon-reload

should fix this.
Or just reboot...
