Checking Apache virtual hosts

Ougle · 05-12-2005, 06:44 PM

Hi, apparently you can use the command below to check your Apache virtual hosts.
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -S

Well it doesn't like it because that file doesnt exist (from the apache2 folder).
I guess this is because I'm using SuSE 9.0 and its set up differently to other distros?
So what folder/file do I use or is there another command?

I have no idea what to type, I have tried a few things but with no success.

Please can someone help?

Maybe it is /usr/sbin/httpd -S

One way to find the location of httpd is "whereis httpd"

ok, I think it is httpd.conf that I want.
It is confusing because there are lot of config files and two httpd.conf files (in different directories).

/etc/httpd/httpd.conf -S
is what I used.

I got the following output...

Code:

now all those line numbers are lines that were in the config file and I havn't touched them.
should I just delete(or comment out) each of the lines that return an error?

as it was put in there by suse or apache i would expect it to work and i shouldnt have to touch it.

I also dont understand whats wrong with the last 2 lines of output.

You just tried to execute a config file, not a script or a program. /etc/httpd/httpd.conf is the file that the program reads before it executes so it knows how to run.

What happens when you do "whereis httpd" ?
What about "/usr/sbin/httpd" ?

Ougle · 05-13-2005, 07:23 PM

okay, I got confused, I thought it was just outputting directories called "httpd". you were right about where it is.

so does the below seem like the right output?

Code:

linux:/ # whereis httpd
httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd /etc/httpd /usr/share/man/man8/httpd.8.gz
linux:/ # /usr/sbin/httpd

It seems to make less sense to me.
Okay it is all about perl...

I think you should start your investigation as to what is wrong right there. Hopefully that will help.
