How do I check if Apache is installed?
 

I was wondering how I can check to see if Apache is installed and running. I am trying to get to my linux box through a web browser but I am unable to even get a welcome to apache screen.

su -c "cd /; updatedb "
locate apachectl

It seems to be running. Could it be firewall related? I have enable http using lokkit.
How else can I chech to see if http is allowed through my firewall?

The commands I gave you just check fo its presence
in the filesystem. If you want to know whether it's running
check
ps -aux | grep httpd


As for the firewall:
Depends on how you set-up your firewall ....

On my machine dropped packets (except for a few
too generic ones) get logged, too ...

"iptables -L" may give you an indication of what's
actually happening as well...

Hello,

I've not been able to get a wecome screen with Apache either -- can't even find the index.html file! It's certainly not in the /var/www/ though this is the default dir set for Apache. Yet it's launched at boot time.

However, I've been able to to create a website locally, with a CMS based on MySQL and PHP.

Apache is rather a bit of a mystery!

:confused:

Cheers,
