I've searched through my saved messages but can't find the answer to this very simple problem. After a recent re-install of suse 7.2 pro I can no longer connect to http://localhost I've got: START_HTTPD DOC_SERVER = yes DOC_ALLOW = localhost START_LOOPBACK = yes set in my rc.config (via yast) What did I miss? Thanks -- dh

It won't start the web server you need START_HTTPD = yes
Well unfortunately that was an error in my mail, not the rc.config. So I've got; START_HTTPD = yes ^^^ DOC_SERVER = yes DOC_ALLOW = localhost START_LOOPBACK = yes set in my rc.config (via yast) still no localhost. Any more Ideas? -- dh

Can you get http://127.0.0.1 I seem to remember a buglet in /etc/hosts in 7.2, that made apps not find localhost. I don't really remember, but I think that's where the problem lies. Especially if http://127.0.0.1 works. If you can't solve it yourself, post /etc/hosts here Anders

I did have it working before this re-install (spectacular xfree86 crash). ( I used konq as my help browser when susehelp went south for awhile.) To consolidate the answers to suggestions I have recieved so far here are the contents of some files from /etc and from ifconfig. I've got:
START_HTTPD DOC_SERVER = yes DOC_ALLOW = localhost START_LOOPBACK = yes set in my rc.config (via yast)

I think related to the same problem Does any of this lead anywhere? -- dh

Perhaps. try rcapache start if that doesn't work, it looks like apache isn't installed at all. Anders

Apache had been installed but at one time I think I had both Roxen and Apache installed at the same time. I suspect I fouled something up when I un-installed Roxen to avoid conflicts. I just uninstalled Apache and re-installed it, all is as it should be now... Thanks to all who took their time to help me with this problem. This is the best list in the world :-) -- dh

Do an ifconfig and make sire lo is defined in there. Just because rc says it is starting it , does not mean it is. The ifconfig command will let you check to see what is defined, and if you check the man pages on ifconfig you can see where you can add a network interface... Also check your boot files to make sure it is defined in there as well. I believe one of the boot files in /etc sets that up....or maybe it is rc.config, Well one of those will have stuff about loopback setup...find out the contents of that and post it.

Or then again I can be completely wrong, if Anders tells you to do it, listen to him.

You have to check two points: 1. file /etc/rc.config includes START_HTTPD = "yes" 2. Apache server is installed (run the following command: ps ax | grep http ). If it shall show ....htppd, then the server is installed Hope it helps. David Herman wrote:
