Hello all:
I would like to set up apache http server only for serving localhost requests. I installed the apache and other required packages through yast/network services/HTTP server. When it turned to the server configuration (HTTP server wizard) I could not pass the first step as there was not anything in the "Listen to Interfaces" window. It was completely empty. Now I am stucked. I think the localhost interface should be there at least. What should I do?
Hi Istvan, Under "HTTP Service" are two settings: "Disabled/Enabled" ... choose 'enabled' to have the server start at boot. "Open Firewall on Selected Ports" ... enable this checkbox. Under "Settings ... Summary": "Listen on | 80 " "Modules | ... " "Hosts | linux " "Default Host | linux " You use the "Edit" button to configure these settings as follows: Highlight "Listen on" and click "Edit" select the port you want. Highlight "Modules" and click "Edit" to enable the modules (examples: SSI, Ruby, Perl, etc.) that you want. For "localhost" operation only, the hosts listed should already be populated and adequate. To check if Apache2 is running or to shut it down or restart it (to activate config changes) or to start it if you've previously shut it down (as root/su, of course): rcapache2 status rcapache2 stop rcapache2 restart rcapache2 start hth & regards, Carl
