V, The fix to get apache to run the way SuSE has it compiled is here: file:/usr/doc/packages/apache/README.SuSE chmod +s /usr/sbin/suexec ; rcapache restart The reason they did it this way is so they can access thier help database. I kinda like it that way because I want to learn how they did it so I can expand upon it. I do understand that it may not be what you were expecting. As far as fixing other problems with apache, my 18 hours of playing with it probably won't help. Steve "v.adams" wrote:

Did my earlier post get through? - sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!! aarrgghhh - Wed, 03 Mar 1999

anyway the prob was -- Trying to run Apache 1.3.4 from SuSE 6.0 (for a small intranet),when clients access the apache server they get a <sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!!> message, whether via a WWW browser, telneting to port 80 etc.

I never sorted this out, but sidestepped it by building apache from the apache source on the SuSE 6.0 CD. This got rid of the <sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!!> problem, as apache was now built without module support for ADABAS D - why did SuSE make YaST do that !! However now i dont get apache to run as a standalone server, but only as a inetd daemon. This actually is ok, but i would really like to get apache running standalone simply because it should :-) When set up as standalone, connecting clients get a <document contains no data!> alert. Telneting on port 80 - connection is refused. the apache error_log tells me: httpd: [Fri Mar 5 09:07:47 1999] [crit] (98)Adress already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

does anyone know what the problem is ?

thanks a lot.
