running 11.1 with Lamp pkg installed. cannot access localhost at all, but can access all other web sites. any suggestions sure appreciated. Linux newbie and trying hard!!
many thanks
Does /etc/hosts contain this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Do you have the Apache web server running?
yes apache is running. problem seems to be - no /etc/hosts file.
how do i create one?
Normally /etc/hosts should be there. If it doesn’t exist, you may have a faulty installation which might give problems in other areas. You should look into that.
Anyway for this problem, all you need is this line in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
which you can add with a text editor (as root, of course). And the file must be publicly readable, so do
chmod 644 /etc/hosts
after editing it.
yes i think you are right. will do a re-install ad see what happens
many thanks for help!!!
Hi i cant access localhost either i have check etc/hosts and i have
127.0.0.1 localhost
in that file here is error in error_log
[Mon Feb 23 16:19:14 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /srv/www/htdocs/
ok i found this
By default directory indexing is turned off in Apache2 on OpenSUSE.
by when i try and call http://localhost/index.php it ask me to open or save the file ???
I have the apache 2 php mod installed

ok i found this To set up basic Apache server, go to Yast → Network Services, activate “HTTP Server”
but i dont have that in network services
update for some strange reason after starting apache on the 5th time it now works
NOT SOLVED - now it is a new problem!
It has work for years and now, with a Leap 42.1 update:
With Leap 42.1 every morning I have to run Yast as above to get localhost to operate.and the next morning Apache2 is failing again! It was fine until a recent update to the Apache 2 code!
