I assumed you installed it from the RPM provided by Suse.
As root, do

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

that's it, start putting your files in /srv/www/htdocs

access it using http://localhost

Only for yourself or do you also want other people to access your website using www.???.com

if possible i want other people to be able to access the website

thanks a lot
