I'm not sure if this got through. I got some mysterious error message from some fetchmail daemon related to it... Faheem. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 11:56:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Faheem Mitha <mitha@math.unc.edu> To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: docserver, apache and htdig problem partly resolved Dear people, I posted a message previously about the fact that I had difficulties setting up my doc server and running htdig. Well, the problem was very simple, but it took me a while to figure out. You see, when I originally installed the distribution in early Sept, I instructed that everything be installed. In particular, three different web servers were installed and were set running automatically at bootup. They were Syrix (commercial demo version), Apache and something called thttpd. I noticed Syrix and uninstalled it, but thttpd has such a similar name that when I saw it running I assumed it had something to do with Apache. Silly me. Well, it turns out that thttpd was somehow interfering with apache, and therefore the docserver etc. wasn't working. I uninstalled thttpd, and now the docserver works and htdig works. However, I still cannot access man pages from susehelp. This may be a problem related to Rosettaman (rman), which is supposed to convert man pages to http on the fly, or it may be a permission problem. I tried to run rman on its own but it hung. The syntax may be wrong though. Can anyone give me a rman formatting command that definitely works so that I can try on my machine? I think it is reasonable to warn people to make sure when setting up the doc server that only one web server is running, and I am going to email SuSE to that effect. After all, they explicitly refused to answer questions about this feature, and nobody else had any idea.
