Ok, i found it in applications -> services -> httpd

however, when i try to start it, it says that at line 487 of httpd.conf which is:

"Alias /manual "/etc/httpd/manual"

it says theres an error there because it says :
httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: [Wed Jan 19 18:40:26 2005] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 487 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier AliasMatch.
[FAILED]

means that your entry overlaps with a previous ALIAS-entry.

you can start/stop the daemon with:
/etc/init.d/httpd start/stop

will it be a problem if i'm running it over a wireless connection?

to what extent a problem?
actually only in the points of performance and security.

well i thought it wouldn't start because of it was wireless..
i also tried to comment out the ("Alias /manual "/etc/httpd/manual") line and it still didn't work..

your server has a wlan?
are there further ALIAS entries?

as far as I know, the recommended way to start/stop httpd is

Code:

/usr/sbin/apachectl start|restart|stop

well the way i'm running my web server is through a laptop which is wirelessly connected to a router which is connected to my static DSL

i tried the command line method, still get the same error... if i comment out the line the "start" command just skips to prompt again and when i goto "stop" it says httpd wasn't even running
