funny how Sun moves  more and more of its "intellectual property" to

My immediate problem is that I want to get apache's httpd working on a

So how do I figure out what version of httpd is installed here? Go to
fedora web site somewhere?

Then I need to get ssl and php working. Just head to the apache web
site? google? How would you approach this?

TIA,

Aloha Dave,

I just installed apache 2.1 on FreeBSD 6.1 and got help from Vince on 
this list and from the apache website. FreeBSD uses Redhat/Fedora for 
the linux compatibility base I belive.


If you want to setup virtual hosts I can tell you what worked for me it 
you need it.

I followed this link and couldn't figure out what 'directed self-interest'
means.  How does one apply this term to FOSS?

I actually installed this first, but it had a problem with my monitor
or graphics card and I punted. FC5 had no problem.

mahalo,

I have FC5 installed on my work machine as my primary OS at the
moment.

FC5 currently uses version 2.2.0 of Apache.

On Fedora systems run (edited for clarity):
$ yum info httpd
...
Name   : httpd
Arch   : i386
Version: 2.2.0
Release: 5.1.2
Size   : 2.7 M
Repo   : installed

or:
$ rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.2.0-5.1.2

Fedora is focussed on being very cutting edge and developer
driven.  If you are installing a permanent server, I'd recommend
the Linux distribution CentOS which is based off the sources of
"a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor."  Security
updates for the latest version of CentOS are planned to be
released until Feb 29, 2012.

To get php working.

Check to see if you have it installed:
$ rpm -q php
package php is not installed

Install it with yum:
$ yum install php

It should work out of the box (with a restart of Apache).

SSL is a little more difficult.

Check out the Red Hat System Administration Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/

Specifically, this section:
26. Apache HTTP Secure Server Configuration
