Hi.

No it's not that. I can't display any files in there. Any ideas anyone? This is a standard 7.3 installation. I have changed nothing.

does /etc/httpd/httpd.conf have a line "AddLanguage en .en" ?

Try putting something in a users public_html directory and then accessing that. Sounds to me like somehow your httpd.conf has died. Maybe try reinstalling the apache packages from the cd's? Might help...

I have my setup working well from the default conf files, just added index.php to the index listing to prevent a few nasty looking directory listings. Tom

Hi. Where should the users public_html be? My files are currently in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs. That is where 7.3 created the directory. Steve.

Hi everyone. OK Full reinstall of apache direct from the SuSE 7.3 CD's having deleted the /usr/local/httpd directory

It is running as rcapache status tells me. I put a file called index.html in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/. I call http://localhost/ and I get a dialoge box 'Open http://localhost ? open the file save to disk'

If I choose open the file and select konqueror (or any other browser) I just get a list of the html. Clicking on the file itself works fine though.

I have also tried http://127.0.0.1/ with the same results. Could there be something broken in the httpd.conf file?

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Steve. Sounds much more likely that your browser is buggered. How about try Lynx?? Or if your server is accessible out here I'll give it a go.

Hi. Mozilla, netscape 4.7 and Opera all give me the same message of either saving the file to disk or opening it. If I open it I just get a listing of the html.

Am at a total loss. Get me out of here! Steve.

there was a discussion recently of someone installing openoffice or quanta or something that hosed the /etc/mimetypes.. The problem was the same Did you or have you installed an html editor or openoffice that could have adjusted the mime types? regards- Jim

Yes, one of those people was me. Installing the Hancom Office demo installed an application/x-html mimetype that totally threw Apache. Delete this mimetype in Konqueror, or comment it out in /etc/httpd/mime.types. Thanks to Anders Dahlquist for the original fix. Kevin

Well, I did report it to theKompany, and I can only assume there is some chap scratching his head about it at this very moment! You are right that the Linux "hundred flowers blossoming, and hundred schools of thought contending" can be a bit chaotic at times, and yes, there is no real way of passing on these little hard-won nuggets to all and sundry. But if people are so misguided as not to use SuSE, what can you expect? :-) I think many of the "issues" come from the speed at which Linux is developing - long may it last. I've even done my first video editing in Linux now, using MainActor. That's commercial software, but only $99, and it's cross-platform, so it seems a pretty good investment. I am quite surprised, because 6 months ago I used to say that multimedia was the one area where desktop Linux was still way behind Windows. But the gap seems to be closing impressively fast. Kevin

Look at your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file. Make sure index.html is listed.

<IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule>

Also look for the Servername line and put your chosen name in there. Servername 127.0.0.1

The servername also is affected by the entries in /etc/hosts

You should have 127.0.0.1 localhost

You can also name your server after the number of your network card, and then put that in /etc/host.

Thanks, maybe getting somewhere. Here is my /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.2 altea.local altea fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts If I uncomment the 192.168.1.2 (my ethernet eth0 for adsl) then I get a different error: 'can't connect to localhost' or 'can't connect to 127.0.0.1' 'permission denied' (root included) Thanks for your patience. This really is a pain I know. Steve.
