[SOLVED] Help setting up Apache2 Server

bk328115 · 08-09-2018, 07:56 PM

This might be a little long, so I apologize. I'm running Debian Stretch with KDE Plasma 5, kernel 4.9.0-7-amd64 on a Lenovo thinkpad x61 2Ghz, 4 GB RAM.

I'm trying to run RISC with RPCemu and also need to set up apache2 server.

Are there any good tutorials on how to set up and run an apache2 server.
I have apache2 installed and it seems to be set up correctly, but I can't figure out how to get all the config files set up properly. When I try to do a restart after some changes, I get the following:

/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 49: /etc/apache2/envvars: User: not found
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 50: /etc/apache2/envvars: Group: not found
[Thu Aug 09 20:52:23.416069 2018] [core:warn] [pid 13329] AH00111: Config variable ${/var/lock/apache2} is not defined
[Thu Aug 09 20:52:23.429434 2018] [so:warn] [pid 13329] AH01574: module dav_module is already loaded, skipping
AH00526: Syntax error on line 74 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Invalid Mutex directory in argument file:${/var/lock/apache2}
Action 'restart' failed.

in the apache2.conf file, I have this for user and grouo:

User mylogin
Group mylogin

where mylogin = my username

Any help would be appreciated and if you need addition info (which I probably left out), please let me know. Thank you very much in advance; I know this is child's play for some of you. I'm learning, lol....

The choices for User and Group are strange. How did you actuallly install Apache2?

Code:

apt-get remove --purge apache2;
mv -i /etc/apache2/ /etc/old.apache2/;

apt-get update;
apt-get install apache2;

If you install it that way, the basics should be done automatically. From there it depends on what you are trying to do in the way of adding vhosts or reconfiguring the default vhost.
