configuring Apache in Opensuse 13.1 - some thing fails

hello

while setting up a lampp on opensuse 13.1 all goes well - but the apache-configuring task fails

see the details:

...take a closer look at line 179 of httpd.conf, perhaps?

It seems to refer to line 102 of some other file, but unfortunately it seems the program generating the output above saw fit to truncate the entry.

Did you read and understand what you posted??? The message is VERY clear...it tells you what line of what file has a problem, and even gives you the command to run to show you other dependency lines (the -l flag, so you can see where line 102 leads??)

You did not 'configure' Apache...you tried to START it. Configuring it requires that you modify the configuration file(s) to suit you. So, go do it...pay particular attention to line 179, WHERE THE SYSTEM TOLD YOU THE PROBLEM WAS.

You're welcome, but AGAIN:

Please do some basic research on your own first. Actually reading the error messages is the first step.
STOP USING TEXT SPEAK. It's "thanks", not "thx" or 'tx"

Well, an error in a configuration file isn't going to fix itself no matter how many packages you reinstall.

Unless you follow the instructions on how to correctly configure things, re-installing is an absolute waste of time. All you did was repeat something you already had installed and working, for no reason. Unless you correct the problems in your configuration file(s), it won't work. Unless you set it up right, it won't work.

just HOW did you install apache ???

zypper would have auto set things up
but it will be up to YOU to actually configure the httpd.conf file

Code:

su -

zypper in apache2

HOWEVER you really should install the "pattern"
---- SUSE uses "patterns" -----

Code:

su -

zypper in -t pattern lamp_server

the "pattern" will install a YAST control panel for the Apache server
--- USE yast to start and stop Apache
SUSE is Very GUI centric !
most things are EASIER to do using yast than in the terminal

but that will NOT teach you HOW to use this rather complex software
you DO need to do a lot of studying
start with the Apache documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

then the PHP docs
http://www.php.net/docs.php

suse uses MarieDB now ( and NOT mysql )
https://mariadb.org/

or uses "postgresql"
http://www.postgresql.org/

expect to need about 3 to 6 months of studying

then there is your CMS
--- beyond the scope of this post

this might be of importance:

Open /etc/apache2/default-server.conf in a text editor and change line 102 to "IncludeOptional" as the error message suggests.

well

btw - sure thing i have to do the changes in the config.
it is a bit tricky: i have to do the changes - but i have to do that in the files where only root has access.
how - should l change the permissions of the file or delete it and create it again... or or or.
sorry for the beginners - quesrtion. but every time i do the changes i get back that the permissions are not enough.....

love to hear from you

Use httpd to check for configuration file.

Code:

# httpd -t

Yes, along with the OTHER configuration file messages that you have to fix. Re-installing packages is ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS unless you configure them correctly.

I find this VERY hard to believe. First, you would not be able to install ANY packages, unless you already have root/sudo access. Want to edit files owned by root? Then either get a sudo shell, run your editor with sudo in front of it, or get the root password, and assume root. And seeing as you've been working with Apache/LAMP since last year, and already know how to change the root passwords:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ot-4175483510/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...em-4175472608/

...it's odd to think that you suddenly don't know how to edit a file.

If you don't know how to address VERY basic permissions issues like this, I suggest you turn over installation and configuration to the systems administrator, since they would know how to do these things.

changed

default-server.conf

to the following lines:

Code:

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf

IncludeOptional

now we have the following

http://pastebin.com/BrNaueL3

but - despite i have activated the runlevels apache 2 to default and mysql to default (on )

i cannot get any localhost with the browser... why

are there any more tests i can run in terminal - to find out why the apache does not work here?

mind you IF you really studied the apache documentation
on setting it up and configuring it
you would be able to figure out what Novell did to the program
On suse you can ONLY!!!!! use suse documentation !!! they do things VERY VERY VERY differently that --- well EVERYONE ELSE

so differently that some sites have SUSE only instructions

if you are trying to fallow some random guide ( or even the OFFICIAL Apache documentation) you will have problems

Novell split up the httpd.conf into a few files

manually editing them is NOT!!!! recommended on SUSE

On SUSE you use "yast" for almost EVERYTHING
the yast gui will auto run all the needed "configuration scripts " that would need to be MANUALLY ran if you manually edit files

set up and configure Apache using the yast gui

suse documentation
http://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/o...he-http-server

DO NOT !!! use the OLD documentation on the OLD!!! SDB doc site
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Apache_installation
the OLD docs are for opensuse12
