Red Hat Linux 7.1 issues/Apache, java etc
 

Dear friends

i am little bit familar with linux version 6.3 it was working fine with my windows 98. now i installed Red hat 7.1 but fail to find

1. where is java? on this system i try to find as whereis java on prompt get return
java:

2. when system startup all services started but i did not find about apache service running or not.

although localhost is pinging with 127.0.0.1

3. if i try to browse the test page of apache whether it is runnig or not from browser failed get localhost not found

4 the httpd.conf file facts are like
the server root is /etc/httpd
document root is /var/www/html

the above two facts leads me to confusion as i know document root is always defined under server root but here not.

please help me i will thankful to you all members


Regards

I'm not sure if java is installed by default. Maybe you've not choosen the package? BTW 7.1 is quite old, so maybe download newer java?

ps -e|grep httpd
If there's no result, apache is not started.

Do you have localhost configured in your /etc/hosts ?

Not always. Document root is under server root in default Apache configuration file, but you can have it where you wish. No limitations (or I don't know if they exist :) )

Thanku Mara
i am sorry for late reply

I run this command "ps -e|grep httpd" and find nothing. but when i run httpd from root then i get few outputs for above command. now apache is running and i can test it from browser too.

i installed server so java must be included there but i find nothing for java.

To find if you have java installed you can use
rpm -q -a|less
this will show you the list of all packages installed in your system. You can also copy the list to a file:
rpm -q -a >> filename

i did not find any thing related to java.

So it looks you need to install it. Please visit Sun's website and download it (or it should be somewhere on your installation cds, I think).
