Apache use to be in /usr/local/apache
Where is it on RH7.1? I have edited the .conf file but can't test or get a fullstatus because I don't know where /path/to/apche/bin/apachectl is.

Thanks,

You can always run but it might take a while!

cheers

Jamie...

If you are using apache on Redhat you can easily start or stop it by using the init scripts in /etc/init.d.

as for finding the apachectl file, there is a faster way. Redhat by default installs slocate with cron-scheduled updating.

and it should tell you where to look.

Thanks for the suggestions.

/etc/init.d/httpd start #works fine

locate apachectl #nothing happened

find / -name apachectl # nothing happened

**********************

My book says to run the apachectl script:
/path/to/apache/bin/apachectl fullstatus
The path to apache in RH6 use to be:
/usr/local/apache
…but where is it in RH7.1.

I am able to access my index.html page from the same box with:
lynx 123.456.789.123
but I can't access the same page with the same ip from a different box through the internet. Its as if Apache hears the local request but not the internet request.

dont know why the connections arent working, but i would guess that apache went into /etc/httpd.. why did it go there? who knows, doesnt make sense.. but the first line of the config file gives the location away...

ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

HTH

ServerRoot only means the area where the apache configuration files are stored.

I am running apache on redhat 7.0 and I do not have an apachectl file. My apache binary is located in /usr/sbin/httpd. I would not try to start apache directly using this binary. You should start apache through the init script (/etc/init.d/httpd) unless you have very specific reasons not too.

When you start apache using the init script, does it give you any errors. If not try looking in /var/log/httpd/error_log. Sometimes this will shed some light on the sutuation. If apache is not giving any errors you should make sure that it is not already running (in case you have a network problem not an apache problem). You can do this by doing a 'ps ax | grep httpd' If you see that processes are running then you may have a problem with your network instead of apache.

Your init scripts will also provide additional info with different parameters like {start|stop|restart|reload|condrestart|status}. You may be able to get a status of apache through this too. When having problems with apache or any other service you should always try to stop it before you start it. Even if the service is already down, sometimes lockfiles or PID files may remain and prevent a proper startup ( I have run into this in mysql).

Good Luck. (BTW, I don't see any problems with your conf file.)

I just downloaded apache and re-installed it into /usr/local/apache. Now I have all the files I was looking for and all test work fine.

However, I can access the apache test page locally but not through the Internet. conf file is the same as above.

Any suggestions on why I can't access the server via the ip address through the Internet but can access it on the box itself.

thanks,
