Hi Dave, Do you have chkconfig on Suse? If so, try using that it's a lot easier.

I'm setting up an Intranet server based in Suse 8.0. I've not installed X windows. I want to change the boot options eg run Apache. I'm trying to add entries in /etc/init.d/rc3.d using

ln -s /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S30apache -> ../apache

try ln -s ./apache /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S30apache

but all I get is error messages. Should I have a file called S30apache before I link it? I've managed to do this before and I think I'm doing something silly ..... but what?

You don't need to get involved with any of this stuff if you installed apache from the SuSE 8 distribution. The run level editor in Yast2 allows you to choose what services run at what run levels via the gui (or in your case the text-gui). You only need to get involved with the rc.d stuff if you have installed Apache from source yourself, or you really want to mess around in there for some other reason. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll

Have you installed apache? Doing this should install the right symbolic links. You could try "cp -a /etc/init.d/rc5.d/*apache /etc/init.d/rc3.d" if SuSE have messed things up so apache only runs at run level 5. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
