Hi,
Apache is no problem to set up on opensuse. As ab@novell.com wrote you can install Apache from the command line using zypper or, if you prefer, you can do it using YAST. Then go to YAST -> System Services to start it. Finally you should place your html, js, css, php, pl, etc files in the ‘/srv/www/htdocs’ directory.
Have fun,
Barry.
Of course to place your files inside the directory /srv/www/htdocs first you need to change the owner for it with:
chown <yourUserName>:users /srv/www/htdocs
replace the <yourUserName> with your user name.
That’s all.
If you just want to learn better idea to use the public_html folder in your home.
Just go to Yast and and edit the settings in > network services > HTTP sever
Change the default root and directory to “/home/yourUserName/public_html” keep the quotes
If you don’t see HTTP server in yast install it , search for http in software and it will be the bottom of the list
You also need to set apache to autostart in Yast > System > runlevel
A good reason for using public_html is that your files will not be deleted if you upgrade. Though you will have to set the defaults in Yast again
