[SLE] Suse 7.0 Professional local host problem
I sent an e-mail to SuSE help 13 days ago about this problem and have only received an auto e-mail reply. I guess they are swamped? I have had 6.4 running fine on my machine previously. After 3 attempts at a full reinstall I am stumped. The problem is that once installed I get an error message when the SuSETour tries to autostart: "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/welcome_header.html" then "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/welcome.html" then "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/ctrl.html". The same type message came up for the SuSE help system. Those files do exist but when I try to open them from the file manager the same messages come up. My internet connection via a dynamic IP cable modem works fine. My installation was almost everything, I did not have enough space so I did not install some packages from the series "pay" such as the German help files Star Office. I did get conflict messages as soon as tried to deselect any package. I tried "install anyway" for all conflicts and in another installation attempt tried "skip" for all unless it was needed. No luck. In all 3 attempts after all the packages were installed the message "RPM has produced an error" came up without causing any other problems. Each time I installed all of the updates/patches/bug fixes for 7.0. The only other thing of note is that the very last line during shut down is "Failed services at run level (0 I think) Networker". Right now I am pretty fed-up with it but I paid $70.00 for it so I am going to make it work! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Hello, Neil. I believe that one part of the problem has been around for quite some time. The Help files are located outside the root http folder, so you need to edit /etc/httpd.conf (I think that's where it is) so that references to "-FollowSymLinks" are changed to "+FollowSymLinks". This allows Apache to serve pages outside the root web folder. As for the other part of the problem, I also encountered that on two boxes that were a slighlty modified Almost Everything installations. In a console as root, simply type "httpd start" to start Apache. It seems that it is not started automatically at bootup on every installation. Of my 4 SuSE7 installations, only two started Apache automatically. These two were setup not to use any of the default configurations; I did them both by hand. The two that didn't work were Almost Everything with things like the multi-national help and dictionaries removed, plus a few other small things like ISDN and BTTV that I know I will never, ever use. I also get the Networker error in RunLevel 0, but haven't managed to find the cause for that yet. Good luck, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Fitch [mailto:nfitch@maine.rr.com] Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2000 1:37 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Suse 7.0 Professional local host problem I sent an e-mail to SuSE help 13 days ago about this problem and have only received an auto e-mail reply.

you need to have apache installed and running

I recommend against 'install almost everything'. rpm is not our product and we cannot just make incompatible changes to the code, and it has problems when the rpm database gets big. However, other than using a lot of time to install I had no problems with this option (someone from Oracle wanted to have 7.0 on his notebook and wanted this option, so I did it for him, no problems, only takes a looong time).
installed all of the updates/patches/bug fixes for 7.0. The only other thing of note is that the very last line during shut down is "Failed services at run level (0 I think) Networker".
Legato networker? Ignore, or configure it first. Same for other services if they fail. After all, you installed 'everything' !
Right now I am pretty fed-up with it but I paid $70.00 for it so I am going to make it work!
