Subject: Very Frustrated with Apache
Hello, everyone.
I went out and bought myself a copy of SuSE 7 Professional as soon as it hit
the shops. I have since installed it on a number of different machines.
But Apache is really starting to wind me up.
So far, it is a 50/50 split between Apache working after the install process
finishes or not. Some of the machines work beautifully, others, I have to
su to even start the httpd service before I get the default web page. I
just wish I could find some kind of pattern. I have tried editing the
httpd.conf file to change the -FollowSymLinks to +FollowSymLinks. PHP
doesn't work, the SuSE help system doesn't work, the HOWTOs won't come up,
the list goes on. But on those that work, they work great.
The variety of hardware is considerable, from a lowly P133 laptop to a dual
processor box with oodles of RAM. Does anyone out there have any ideas or
clues as to how I can predict if an install will work properly or not ?
Also, any ideas how to fix Apache on the failed installs ? I suppose I
could try re-installing the RPMs, but that seems kind of like a sledgehammer
to crack a walnut. If no-one has any ideas, I am actually considering using
my 90day installation support from SuSE, since this definitely comes under
installation problems.
Thanks,
Stuart.
