Hi all,
I’m new to openSUSE. I just installed 12.3 on my VMWare running on Windows 7. I installed the apache2 package which by my guess would be the HTTP server. However, I’m having difficulties to start and run it. I tried launching the Firefox browser to localhost but it only shows the “Unable to connect” error page.
Please, I need help getting it up and running.
Thanks!

It is.

How exactly did you try?

You need to start apache2 first:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To make it start on every boot:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
Also you should maybe install the package “apache2-example-pages” which contains a simple test page. (not sure if this is installed automatically)
It works, thanks a lot!!! Launching the browser with “localhost” now shows “It works!”
I simply had to start apache with the systemctl command. Thanks again.

So, you did not start it at all.
Please remember that there is a YAST hhtp module to configure apache.
