I use XEN rather than VMWare for my Apache testing and its no problem... Make sure all your apache2 packages are installed on the vm, then start the service with /etc/init.d/apache2 start or rcapache2 start (whichever you prefer.) You may want to do this under Yast2 > httpd as it will be easier for you to open up the firewall there. Then you point your browser to that vm's ip address and you should get a "It works!" page. The default configuration for web html pages is pointing to /srv/www/htdocs. To configure apache service, go to /etc/apache2/default-server.conf. As for FTP servers, it depends which FTP server package you install, but generally all of them point to /srv/ftp for file repository. Hope that helps get you started. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
