I wonder which version of SuSE this happens on, I vaguely remember something like that on a previous version, but not 8.2 or 9.0, i.e there is no /usr/local/httpd. It may not be a SuSE package that was installed as all I've seen so far use /srv/www/ and /etc/httpd. Regards Sid.
I've been using SuSE for over 5 years and I had never touched the apache config files until a month ago, so I don't know when it was initially loaded. I'm running 7.3 right now and I don't have a /srv/www. The file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf configuration wouldn't properly run either suse help or the test home page in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs until I modified it.
The move from /usr/local/httpd to /srv/www came with SuSE Linux 8.1.

To address the real question, SuSE installs apache because very few people do not need it and the "Why doesn't ......" emails would overwhelm the lists. For those that do not need it, a simple "rpm -e apache" and its dependants will cure that in 5 minutes. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
