Hello, Neil. I believe that one part of the problem has been around for quite some time. The Help files are located outside the root http folder, so you need to edit /etc/httpd.conf (I think that's where it is) so that references to "-FollowSymLinks" are changed to "+FollowSymLinks". This allows Apache to serve pages outside the root web folder. As for the other part of the problem, I also encountered that on two boxes that were a slighlty modified Almost Everything installations. In a console as root, simply type "httpd start" to start Apache. It seems that it is not started automatically at bootup on every installation. Of my 4 SuSE7 installations, only two started Apache automatically. These two were setup not to use any of the default configurations; I did them both by hand. The two that didn't work were Almost Everything with things like the multi-national help and dictionaries removed, plus a few other small things like ISDN and BTTV that I know I will never, ever use. I also get the Networker error in RunLevel 0, but haven't managed to find the cause for that yet. Good luck, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Fitch [mailto:nfitch@maine.rr.com] Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2000 1:37 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Suse 7.0 Professional local host problem I sent an e-mail to SuSE help 13 days ago about this problem and have only received an auto e-mail reply. I guess they are swamped? I have had 6.4 running fine on my machine previously. After 3 attempts at a full reinstall I am stumped. The problem is that once installed I get an error message when the SuSETour tries to autostart: "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/welcome_header.html" then "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/welcome.html" then "could not connect to http://localhost/doc/susetour/en/ctrl.html". The same type message came up for the SuSE help system. Those files do exist but when I try to open them from the file manager the same messages come up. My internet connection via a dynamic IP cable modem works fine. My installation was almost everything, I did not have enough space so I did not install some packages from the series "pay" such as the German help files Star Office. I did get conflict messages as soon as tried to deselect any package. I tried "install anyway" for all conflicts and in another installation attempt tried "skip" for all unless it was needed. No luck. In all 3 attempts after all the packages were installed the message "RPM has produced an error" came up without causing any other problems. Each time I installed all of the updates/patches/bug fixes for 7.0. The only other thing of note is that the very last line during shut down is "Failed services at run level (0 I think) Networker". Right now I am pretty fed-up with it but I paid $70.00 for it so I am going to make it work! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
