4) To be sure to start on a clean installation, I have now also removed /etc/Apache2 configuration folder, disabled the http service with Yast2 and removed and reinstalled the packages another time. Tested with http://localhost and http://localhost:8080 which didn't work, neither before I enabled the http server nor after I enabled the http server.
5) Then I added port 8080 to the http server with yast2. Now http://localhost still didn't work while http://localhost:8080 did display the Apache page.
6) At last I happened to try "http://localhost:80" and suddenly some(thing) (re)setting happened. Mozilla automatically changed this url automatically to "http://localhost" and displayed the Apace test page. After this also the latter url did work in Opera and Konqueror.
Now also the eZ publish setup wizard is started and displayed as it should, without the previous need to add port number in these alternative urls: http://localhost/~terje/ezp/index.php http://localhost/%7Eterje/ezp/index.php http://localhost/~terje/ezp http://localhost/%7Eterje/ezp
From this experience it may look like the url "http://localhost" doesn't work at once, not at least when another port number has been used in the browser previously.
Any idea or suggestion how and where to set "http://localhost" to work directly?
You have answered your own question. Why did you and do you continue to set other ports to listen when you know that :80 is standard? look at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#listen and /etc/apache2/listen.conf note that this is probably settable via Yast2, but I did not look. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery
