Redhat And Web Svr
ok i installed Linux Red Hat 9.0 i chose to install the Server and http and ftp enabled
after the instalation was conplete i found out apache 2.0 was installed, i also found out that my home directory was / var /www /html now in normal cases i should be able to c the home page (index.html placed inthe above mentioned dir.) by typing hxxp:// localhost / index.html or hxxp://x.x.x.x/index.html but i dont get nething and i couldnt try hxxp:// x.x.x.x cause i dont know wat is the ip it took from my dhcp server (win2k) the host name of the pc is ftpsvr ... i tried hxxp:// ftpsvr and mozilla forwards that to hxxp://www.ftpsvr.com i hope some one can give me some really basic tipes on wats going on, and i would love to find out where to change my ip from dynamic to static. remember that i am a beginer and anything technical you explain should have a small description. thanx in advance Ramzi Chekkath _____________________________________ replace hxxp: tp h t t p since the forum doesnt allow me to post urls ( i dont have enough number of posts; how can i i just started using linux :D) |
Make sure httpd is started:
service httpd status You can start it with: service httpd restart Also make sure you don't have any firewall rules: iptables -L |
re
yeah i started the service
but no good ... i wanna know how to change the ip or find out my current ip (in windows i do ipconfig) |
To find out your ip:
ifconfig To change it use: netconfig |
OK.
Question: Do you have a switch/router connected? If so, we have to forward 80 that to the ftpsvr box. Also, if you go to mozilla and type in http://localhost (without the index.html) What do you see? - this is important because if you don't get the default apache screen, we will have to look at your httpd.conf file most likely. |
RE:
OK
i solved that problem. (the problem was sith the dns svr that i have. i am in a LAN network where my DNS is a win2k box and linux didnt register the name so i did it manualy and it worked i also addes the name under etc/host. to get it working. Now my new problem is ftp How do i config an ftp svr on this box ? how do i know if there is one already ( i cant connect to it by typing ftp://ftpsvr from IE on a remote box i tried the ip that doesnt work either) |
Vsftpd (very good ftp server) come with redhat. Personally I run it in standalone mode. Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and uncomment he lines as specified at the bottom.
Then start it with: service vsftpd start |
re
ok you guys are really helping thanx alot
david i just want to know something now ... is the ftp service started when i restart now .. or should i start the service everytime i restart? another thing is ... where can i find details on chmod... i am not sure wat that is but i think its something like the NTFS permisions in windows ( i am just assuming ) any way .. if you can give me a place where i can learn these things it would be great and i wouldnt have to bother you so much thanx again ramzi chekkath |
To ensure that the server starts each time in runlevels 3, 4 and 5:
chkconfig --levels 345 vsftpd on The commands that make up the nt type functions are chmod, chgrp, chmod. To find out their usage - as like any command - try the man page: man chown man chgrp man chmod There is a good list of unix/linux commands here: http://www.onlamp.com/linux/cmd/ |
David check this out

check that out i have the same problem but his solution did not work for me :( wat to do ? |
What do you want to acheive?
Can you post your vsftpd.conf as well. |
RE
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
# # The default compiled in settings are very paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # # Allow anonymous FTP? anonymous_enable=no # # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077.

If you chroot local users there you will need to make sure that the home directory set in /etc/passwd is /var/www. You will also need to have "passwd_chroot_enable=yes" in the config.
I don't know of any PDFs but you can read the manuals online: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/ |
