people have answered my last 2 posts with incomplete answers and havent come back yto reply I need help running apache 2.2 I have it installed what are the commands. plz tell me in a detailed explination.
There's no point complaining that you don't like the standard of the free support you get here. You'd be better off reading through the Apache 2.2 docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/, trying it yourself and then asking specific questions. Those questions need to include what you were trying to do, what you did and what the system responded with.
It's unlikely that anyone will write you a complete Apache howto since there is already plenty of information on the Apache site and available via google.

Be methodical, factual and be specific.
then how do I access it? and how can I access it from anywhere and can I remote access it so I can place stuff on it from my computer?
Let's first see everything is installed and configured, OK?
Worry about accessing it remotely later.
w3bd3vil told you what and how to install it.
If you don't know how to install stuff then ask.
also do I need a licence or somthing.
For what?
and chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on
service httpd restart
service vsftpd restart

Please be precise.
*What* is not working, and if it isn't working is it installed?
If it is installed, is it configured?
If it is configured what are the errors?
it already has an apatche and I belive a Http thingy.
yes it has, but by default http daemon(apache) is not started, try chkconfig --level 35 httpd
then how do I access it? and how can I access it from anywhere and can I remote access it so I can place stuff on it from my computer?
there are lots of ways to acces and place there your stuff. by ftp, ssh, samba and others, it depends on you how you want to access that machine.
also do I need a licence or somthing.
Linux is publish under GPL licence, you can find lots of informations about that
and chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on
service httpd restart
service vsftpd restart

most probably you have incorrect paths. exact locations? in /sbin directory
I've merged two similar threads. Lord Hakk, try to keep all questions related to a single issue in one thread. This makes it easier for others to follow the discussion and hopefully help you out.
