linux help (running apache web server)
Hello, Im a complete rookie in linux and I have just installed redhat 9.0. I am a totally new user.I downloaded some instructions on installing apache web server, and it seemed to go fine. I test started the web server with the /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start command and it started. pid 18089. the instructions says to go into the address bar http://localhost/ and see if i can get in to start editing. I keep getting - ' the connection was refused when attempting to contact local host'. I checked the proxy settings. I tried to telnet into the server- telnet localhost 18089.- connection refused. i tried telnet 127.0.0.1 18089 just in case it was a dns issue- still same thing. Im beat! I dont know what to do. I see you helped someone in my type of situation so i thought id try my luck. Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.

For Redhat or apache specific help you really ought to try redhat.com and apace.org to find the relevant mailing lists. You are much more likely to find help there and much less likely to have your inbox filled with flames. That said, here is the little help I can offer. am a totally new user. I downloaded some instructions on installing apache web server, and it seemed to go fine. I test started the web server with the It would be much more useful to know what instructions you followed. A url to these instructions, or if they are not too long including them in the e-mail would be good. /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start command and it started. pid 18089. the Debian uses a different method to start its daemons so I can't say if this is correct or not. Again, a RedHat based list would be a better choice. instructions says to go into the address bar http://localhost/ and see if i can get in to start editing. I keep getting - ' the connection was refused when attempting to contact local host'. I checked the proxy settings. I First, I wouldn't expect to beable to edit the page by accessing it in a browser. To beable to do this, the browser would need to know what directory the website's root is at, and have write permission to it. Second, in my experience, connection refused has usually indicated that a firewall isn't letting packets through. In Debian there isn't a firewall configured by default. A list full of Redhat users would know better about how Redhat configures any default firewalls. You likely need to punch a hole for port 80. tried to telnet into the server- telnet localhost 18089.- connection refused. i tried telnet 127.0.0.1 18089 just in case it was a dns issue- DNS will not be queried trying to access localhost. DNS is for public names and ip addresses. The resolver will most likely look in a configuration file in your /etc direcotry for the proper number. On Debian, this file is /etc/hosts. It may be the same on Redhat but it has been 8 years since I ran it and at that time I was as green as you are so I don't remember. Webservers, by default, run on port 80. When you typed `telnet localhost 18089` you were telling telnet to access port 18089 on your system. Since 18089 is the pid of apache, I'm not suprised that the connection was refused when trying that. The command you are looking for is `telnet 127.0.0.1 80`. still same thing. Im beat! I dont know what to do. I see you helped someone in my type of situation so i thought id try my luck. What to do: *google for the terms: apache conection refused redhat *read the redhat documentation regarding firewalls *read the redhat documentation regarding setting up apache *read the apache documentation on installing apache *e-mail the redhat users mailing list giving more explicit steps on what you've tried and what the problem is. *If you are still having problems look harder and repost or call a linux consultant who would be glad to fix it for a fee What not to do: Don't post to a mailing list for a distrubition different than the one you are running. This is a VERY high volume list and a lot of the subscribers have very little patience for questions that should be directed else where. I hope this helped. --Dave

Title: Help on apache Hi, I have an apache-ssl server https://www.my_server.com/my_page works fine But I like the apache-ssl server to listen on port 80 with http protocol for the frontpage so the users won't have to type https.

I do appreciate any help. I have tried this for days now and nothing!!! Newer versions of apache only use the httpd.conf file. The others used to be included into httpd.conf but now they're commented out. Your problem may be due to not being able to execute SSI includes for the directory where your .html file is located. There are a number of Directory entries in httpd.conf each of which becomes less restrictive. Chances are that one of these may have an entry for Options that doesn't say Includes or says IncludesNoExec. Either of these would prevent your SSI tag from doing it's business. There is also a requirement to use a script-aliased directory if you want to execute cgi-bins or SSIs outside the document root. This is detailed in httpd.conf itself. Regards, Neil Darlow.

This machine is a production web server! Unfortunatley, there are no backups. Does anyone have any ideas how I can possibly extract some of the configuration information from the currently running httpd's? I don't have the status or info modules compiled in. :( Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you're lucky the httpd have still got the file open, which means it's still physicly on the disk. You can use lsof to check for open files. Then you can check /proc/PID. lsof also gives you the inode number for the open file. From this information you should be able to write a not so simple program that fetches the superblock and extracts the file. There might even exists such a program? /fax -- +- Fredrik Ax -+-- Snailmail --+-- Where to reach me on the net -+ |\\|// | Kämnärsvägen 13 E:202 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | @ @ | S-226 46 LUND, SWEDEN | WWW: http://www.df.lth.se/~fax/ | +-oOO-(_)-OOo--+---+-+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
