Http and Ftp doesnt work
hi
i got my linux box running in shell mode only but for some reason when i try to access the webserver on it from another pc the servcies dont seem to be running. when i boot up in KDE mode it works :S any ideas on whats gone wrong? also is there a command to show what servcies are running? |
You can see which processes are running with the ps command "ps -ef".
The services you are looking for are probably not set to run in runlevel 3. How you change this depends on your distribution. |
ok, i have redhat 9.
any ideas because i dont have a clue :( |
Boot like you are going to boot into a desktop. Don't log in. This is runlevel 5. Hit "ctrl-alt-F1" for a login. The processes should be running. If not, goto /etc/init.d and find the shell scripts to start them, and run "sh scriptname option". There is usually a start option for everything in init.d. If that doesn't work, try the script option restart. To check if these start, or to see if they are running: "ps aux | less". Hit the space bar to scroll through the list. Hit pgup to scroll backwards through less.
Linux is just like a woman. If you don't properly read her needs, she gets stubborn. If you can just get your hand inside /etc/init.d, she will be obedient to you. It just takes a little experience. Experience is something you just can't buy. You earn it. |
ok they work now :)
but how do i either make them run at runlevel3 or make it not boot into a GUI at the start, just go into shellmode? |

lol now we are back to where we started last night.
when i change inittab to start at runlevel 3 im guessing, none of services like ftp/http/sql work, so is it possible to run those services at level 3 or will they only work at level 5? |
Just use chkconfig:
chkconfig httpd on chkconfig vsftpd on You can use the levels option to specify certain runleves where they should be started/stopped but these should be set to run in runlevel 3 in the init scripts anyway. |
