configuring Apache in Opensuse 13.1 - some thing fails

dilbertone · March 10, 2014, 12:50am

hello

while setting up a lampp on opensuse 13.1 all goes well - but the apache-configuring task fails

see the details:

well all fails - what do you advice

Miuku · March 10, 2014, 9:07am

That you type systemctl status apache2 **-l **or look at /var/log/apache2/error_log to see why the launch fails.

-l will unwrap the lines and lets you see what the error is.

Miuku · March 10, 2014, 5:05pm

No I meant you should login as root and type:
**
systemctl status apache2 -l**

and copy paste the result here. Notice the -l at the end.

tsu2 · March 10, 2014, 5:23pm

Your probable error

Recommend you take a look at these two locations…

BTW - If you’re not doing anything particularly unusual, have you installed the YAST httpd configuration applet? Using it could avoid all sorts of headaches…

TSU

hello

many many thanks for the reply.

well - where can i find the recommended stuff: YAST httpd configuration applet

look forward to hear from you

And why are you running it as user now when Miuku explicitely told you to login as root? (and you yourself always ran it as root before… )
This won’t help at all either.

So please post the output of:

sudo systemctl status apache2.service -l

And then have a look at those lines in that files it mentions and fix that syntax errors.
Maybe post that as well if you don’t know what’s wrong.

knurpht · March 31, 2014, 12:05pm

Martin, how did you install and configure the webserver? I’ve done dozens of webserver setups on openSUSE, never actually needed a terminal. I simply install the LAMP pattern, start Yast - Networkservices - HTTP server, configure defaults, done.

dilbertone · March 31, 2014, 8:49pm

hi wolfi hi knurpht and tsu2

i did it this way

http://mntechblog.de/webserver-lamp-unter-opensuse-12-2-installieren/

guess that this way is not very good - and besides this i think that the above mentioned manuals do not fit the version 13.1

hmm what should i do now?

wolfi323 · March 31, 2014, 8:54pm

Right, there have been incompatible configuration changes in Apache 2.4, which is new in 13.1.

hmm what should i do now?

Read my previous post and do the things I suggested.
Especially post the complete error messages that Miuku asked for already in post#2.
Nobody is going to be able to help you without them.

You could also just delete the offending files and re-install “apache2”.
You would get back the default configuration then, which should at least let Apache start.

martin@linux-70ce:~>

According to those error messages, I would guess that you still have /etc/apache2/default-server.conf from a previous apache/openSUSE version. As I said there have been some incompatible changes in Apache 2.4.
Open /etc/apache2/default-server.conf in a text editor and change line 102 to “IncludeOptional” as the error message suggests.
But maybe better would be to just remove that file and reinstall the “apache2” package with “zypper in -f apache2”. You would get the default one then, which has considerably changed.

Well, isn’t the error message clear enough?
mod_evasive20 cannot be loaded because it doesn’t exist.
So either remove that module from your configuration (APACHE_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 maybe?), or install it (I think you want the package “apache2-mod_evasive”, included in the standard repo).

PS: You might remove /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_evasive.conf in any case (but better keep a backup ), and install apache2-mod_evasive afterwards if you do want to use it. This should give you the default config file.

striderwar · April 4, 2014, 4:06pm

It exists

wolfi323 · April 4, 2014, 4:14pm

Of course does it exist, otherwise you wouldn’t get that error message…

But it is different from the one that is actually contained in “apache2-mod_evasive”.
It is a left-over from 12.3 and may not work any more. (changed configuration files normally don’t get overwritten on package installations/updates)

So remove it, as I said, and re-install apache2-mod_evasive with:

sudo zypper in -f apache2-mod_evasive

Or remove it and uninstall “apache2-mod_evasive” if you don’t want to use that.

wolfi323 · April 4, 2014, 4:27pm

PS:

This would actually mean that it is no different from the one included in the package (only the modification time has changed).

Apparently there’s a bug in the package.
The first line reads:

LoadModule evasive20_module /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_evasive20.so

but the package only contains /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_evasive24.so !

So try to change that manually. I guess you would also have to change the next line

<IfModule mod_evasive20.c>

to

<IfModule mod_evasive24.c>

as well, but I’m not sure about that.

And you should file a bug report at http://bugzilla.novell.com (same username/password as here).
Apparently the bug is in the package’s spec file, this should actually change those lines accordingly AFAICS.

As you said mister…


LoadModule evasive20_module /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_evasive20.s


/usr/lib64/apache2/modevasive24.s

and


<IfModule mod_evasive24.c>

and now it works very well.

thank you very much.

Before I was just changing -> /usr/lib64/apache2/modevasive20.s -> /usr/lib64/apache2/modevasive24.s

and I didn’t change <IfModule mod_evasive20.c> to -> <IfModule mod_evasive24.c>
