Hi,

Im trying some stuff with Apache2 on OpenSue 12.3 (32 bit KDE).

I installed Apache2 via Terminal, it all wen't successfully. After editing the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, apache cant be started

What i did is i edited the httpd.conf file and put ServerRoot "/lab/apache2" in it.

I used Root acces for this, ofcouse

After trying to start the apache2 service (systemctl start apache2.service) it says this:

I even tried chmod 777 /lab/apache2 but that doesn't give the solution.


What i'm basicly trying to do is to point another Server root directory where Apache2 keeps it's server files.


What did i do wrong?


Support is much appreciated

Sorry, but the information you posted is useless.

The screenshots do not show the names of the relavant files. You are running KDE. So open a Konsole. Try to start Apache again. Copy the screen and post it here in code../code tags.

Furthermore, since you are behind the console, you do see the complete error messages. They tell something. Did you check?

jlinkels

edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

look for

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
and here edit new path .

instead of /var/www specify new target , but redo what you did prior to this on httpd.conf

Apperently i did provide enough information because 'yo8rxp' provided the answer where i was looking for

Thank you for your answer, i understand it now
