Apache doesn't work

English Network/Internet

I installed apache2, started the process (In yast, levels execution) It’s active. But I don’t know how to continue to make it works.

When I type http://localhot/ on my browser, error 403 is displayed. Says that the maybe the directory is protected from reading or the requierd documentation doesn’t exist.

I will be thnkfull if somebody helps me

http://localhost is the right one.

Also try sudo apache2ctl start

By default, directory indexing is disabled in apache on OpenSUSE. Write a HTML page in /srv/www/htdocs/index.html (you will need to be root to do this) and go to http://localhost/index.html and you will see your web page.

I had so much trouble with Apache (because I’m a real noob at it) that I had to write down some reference tips for myself. They might help, although they do need to be revised: HowTo: Configure an Apache Web Server on openSUSE

I meant http://localhost/ instead of localhot. (It was only a mtter of bad typing).

EarthMind:

**apache2ctl start ** displays the following message:

*httpd2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for linux-jyho
httpd2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
httpd (pid 3572) already running

httpd2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

This means you don’t have a line in /etc/hosts like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
