Hello follow these instruction to get apache working:- Assumed knowledge - Basic understanding of networking termnlogy - Uunderstanding of basic commands - Must have su access 1) In your webbrowser type http://<yourserver>; to check if it is working properly.(If not read on) 2) Make sure httpd.conf, access.conf, etc exist. Usually when you first install Apache that way it should be named httpd.conf.default. To change the name of the file to httpd.conf type "mv httpd.conf.default httpd.conf. 3) Follow the above instruction rename access.conf.default etc 4) Now you must change the contents of httpd.conf. to do that you vi httpd.conf (Find the line) DocumentRoot (change it to where you want to store the web contents eg:- /usr/local/www/data/. Remeber that /usr/local/www/data/ must exist. 4) Now you must start Apache. To start Apache simply type /usr/local/application/apache/bin/apachectl start. 5) To test if Apache has started type ps -gax (if it works you should see httpd) Hope that helps.
