Hi,
I have a machine that I want to set up as a server. I installed Slackware 10 with apache. My question is: Where is it? I checked for it to be started automatically during setup but it's nowhere to be found. Anyone know where it would be located?

Should be /var/www/localhost
Do you have apache or apache2?

I believe it's just apache

Thanks for the quick reply

not positive about slackware, but try a couple of things

1. locate httpd (This will show you where apache is)
2. the server root is probably /etc/httpd
3. the document root is probably /var/www/html

At least this is FC3. So hope it helps

In /var/www i have directories htdocs, icons, and cgi-bin. In htdocs I have the indexes in different languages and in cgi-bin I have printenv and test-cgi. Is that all of it? It seems in the windows version there was alot more. I have no /etc/httpd

In slack to start your apache at start up, just look in /etc/rc.d/ in there should be rc.httpd the permissions for startup should be 755. Then the daemon will start and you can configure your apache server with the files in /etc/apache. To change the content it's as you found earlier /var/www/htdocs, but you can change where the server points to in the config files. For help on the config files either get your apache server running, then go to it with a web browser (to make sure it works), and click on the manual link. Should provide you with more info than you would know what to do with.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't see where to change startup permissions. If I right click rc.httpd all I get is access permissions.

Make sure you set it up right;

to change the permissions chmod 755 /path/to/file but be careful
man chmod

It's working now! Yay!.Thanks so much guys. Now I'm just going to read up on that site linked in the above post to learn more about apache.
