Hi all..

I'm guessing that I've just overlooked something. I setup my 10.1 system with apache, mysql, and php so I can look at my web site before I upload it. Anyway I'm getting a 404 error. Here is what I get:

http://Opus.epost.de/ --> "It works!" http://192.168.100.99/ --> "It works!"

BUTTT http://Opus.epost.de/~hatridge --> 404 error http://192.168.100.99/~hatridge --> 404 error

Ideas?

404 is not found error number. Could it be /hatridge instead of ~hatridge?

You'll also get this error if the perms are not right on the dirs/files. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Is "~hatridge" meant to serve files from your public_html directory? If so, 1) do you have something in that directory and

Yes, my working copy of the WartHog Bulletin etc.

2) is your server set up for using mod_userdir?

Seems to be, I looked in yast and its turned on. Any ideas? BTW I noticed that the YAST HTTP server set up was changed between 10.0 and 10.1, could this be part of the problem?

Yep, it seems to be default. I've got a 99% vanilla 10.1 install, and it works there.

I think 10.1 introduced apache 2.2, whereas 10.0 stil had 2.0.5x. It's a pretty major change, but I don't think that's it.

well, Opus.epost.de /= Opus.epost.de/~hatridge

public_html is not default on 10.1, it must be configured.

see: /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/README.QUICKSTART

This is not very helpful. I looked over this quickstart and saw nothing about making public_html the default. If you know what to do, how about tell me.

did you look at your previous install to see what was different? Did you look at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf?

edit /etc/apache2/default-server.conf and add to it the text:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf </IfModule>

the module must exist in /etc/apache2, mod_userdir.conf

as it is in your last version. (you did keep your last install as a example to use for changes to this install?)

be sure that you have added userdir to the modules in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 (do it in yast). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

A cleaner way is to add it to /etc/sysconfig/apache2: APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES="/etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf"

as it is in your last version. (you did keep your last install as a example to use for changes to this install?)

By default, userdir is already loaded from /etc/sysconfig/apache2.

By default, userdir is already loaded from /etc/sysconfig/apache2. The only missing piece is including mod_userdir.conf.

And this can be done in yast. Much better, but it is *poorly* explained in the available documentation. This is such a common need that it should be provided as an example on the yast screen.

Heck, I didn't even know that the contents of that dropdown list were editable until just now. That alone is worth mentioning there.

But, it doesn't seem to work for me :^(

Don't know what to tell you there. Except for the changes made to enable userdirs, this is a stock install with no modifications made. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Hi, Alex! Try googling for "configure the sudoers file without root password".

This works for me:

This way I can get a directory listing from the userdirs with http://localhost/~user_name/, but not with http://localhost/ (I don't care too much about that ;] ).

This is a winner.

OK, this got it working, thanks! Could anyone explain why SuSE did such a dumb thing? They should, at least, have fixed it so that I could have set the public_html dir as default when I was installing 10.1. This was not a good idea.

Well, may have not been a *good* idea, but it apparently was not a bad idea. Your's is the second post since the release of 10.1 that I have seen where someone had a problem getting their personal web-site recognized/configured. I admit that it wasn't 'straight-forward', but that is a problem with many things in linux (consistancy), expecially from version to version. I referred to my previous working install to see what had changed and edited the new config files to match or be similar to the previous and got a working system. But this is my crutch to make up for my lack of knoweldge in many areas. Remember, for everything that you think is a good idea, there will be *many* people who disagree. I am sure that SUSE (not SuSE) had good, well thought out reasons for their 'dumb' decision. Perhaps you should have more background before you make rash judgements and statements. Tell us, did you *pay* for your SUSE version or do you just complain because what you got for free was not what you wanted. It is 'open' software; you are free to make any changes you wish. Lacking that capability, don't slap the face of the people you are depending on to provide something you wish. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
