Apache problems!

Markness · 04-24-2006, 04:18 PM

Got to the final step of setup.

Start the apache daemon by using

Quote:

[root@cpe-24-195-24-133 httpd-2.2.0]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachect1 start
-bash: /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachect1: No such file or directory

any clue? Maybe I downloaded something wrong or im in the wrong dir to be doing this?

update:

[root@cpe-24-195-24-133 ~]# cd /
[root@cpe-24-195-24-133 /]# ls

-bash: cd: apachect1: No such file or directory
[root@cpe-24-195-24-133 bin]#

everything by envvars and envvars-std is green. Don't know if that means much. I wanted to see if I actually had the files.

The last character is the number one... change it to lower case L => apachect"hell" not apachect"one"

This is the error I got, but that worked! Thanks!

That means something else is running and listening on port 80.

Run these commands:

$ ps ax | grep http
$ ps ax | grep inetd

Please post the output from both commmands.

Peace...

Duh, I'm an idiot. You must start Apache as root so it can bind to address 80.

$ su
# /path/to/apache/bin/apachectl start
# exit
$ ps ax | grep http

httpd should appear. Sorry about that.

Peace...

Yup.

Ok. Another problem I ran into.

I got Apache, MySQL, and PHP sucessfully installed on my system. I went to http://localhost and got the message "it works" so I was guessing it worked. I created my first php file firstprog.php and I went to localhost to type in:

http://localhost/firstprog.php and it coulden't resolve anything. The program is sitting in my home dir. Where the heck do I have to put it to view it? I'll be around for quick repies.

tomdkat · 04-24-2006, 06:58 PM

You will have to look at your httpd.conf file to find out where "DocumentRoot" is. That is where Apache will look for HTML files, by default. The easiest thing for you to do is search for "DocumentRoot" in httpd.conf and put your test PHP script in that directory, the one identified in the "DocumentRoot" directive, and then your URL, as coded above, should "work". You might have PHP issues but at least Apache will be able to locate the file.

Was that quick enough for you?

Peace...

Markness · 04-24-2006, 07:08 PM

After several refreshes, yes

Let me try.

Markness · 04-24-2006, 07:15 PM

Ok. Found it.

Put the file in there, but it doesnt display the html or the php, just the code. Did I not install something correctly?

Do you mean the PHP script displays instead of the output from the script? If so, did you follow steps #14 and #15 of the PHP installation guide?

Peace...

Markness · 04-24-2006, 08:34 PM

I was using something different. Ok, so I have to do those steps. Where in the config file so I enter that information in for PHP5? Just tried to enter it somewhere and save and its read only? I did it through GUI not term. I dont know how to change it through terminal

googling now

tomdkat · 04-24-2006, 09:36 PM

If you're using some GUI tool to edit the Apache config file, just find other "LoadModule" entries and put the line for PHP5 in next to those other lines. The same goes for the PHP MIME type (the "AddType" line).

Make those two changes to your httpd.conf file and PHP scripts should start executing. You can edit httpd.conf using any text editor you like. DO NOT use a word processor since you will need to save the file as straight text.

Peace...
