Hi

I want to install Apache Server. I have Redhate En 5. I have configured DNS also.Its working.But whenever I am trying to install the require packages ,likes httpd-2.2.3-6.el5.i386.rpm , httpd-devel-2.2.3-6.el5.i386.rpm and httpd-manual-2.2.3-6.el5.i386.rpm, that I am getting error"Failed dependencies:" through "rpm -ivh" command. I don't understand why it is happening! So please tell me where I am doing mistake!

Thank you

I don't know Redhat Enterprise 5 but I'd be surprised if it didn't have a package manager onboard. You seem to be trying to install downloaded RPMs, btuyou don't have all the RPMs you need, which is probably what the failed dependencies are about. (BTW, always quote complete error messages; they do have meaning most of the time.)

What you need to do is use Redhat's package manager to fetch and install the package you want (in this case the apache server package; this should take care of all dependencies and pull things like httpd in if needed.

Try commands:
Of course, you need to have an internet connection for yum, if you don't, you'll have to download and install those dependencies first, they are probably on the install CD/DVD.

Try this command:

# yum groupinstall "Web Server"

This will install the default packages associated with the entire Web Server Package group.
