Ok, I am a .

I get the following error on my Suse 8.1 pro box when I try to start Apache (1.3) .

Actually it's in dutch , but this error message is what I have seen in a google search for the solution. (wich I haven't found).
I also have to tell you guys that I run my server successfully as an LTSP terminal server. (http://www.ltsp.org). Therefore I have two network cards (are configured correctly) One is a link to a router , internet and windows boxes (192.168.x.x). The other card is serving a subnet (10.0.0.x) of Linux terminals.

I don't know if this has something to do with it (I wan't Apache listening for requests on both interfaces.) I know about Comanche as a GUI apache config tool , but that dies when I start it up (Probably because Apache isn't running)

I know I should give some more info on the problem, but I am on my windows pc now

did you modify httpd.conf ?

please provide the last lines of /var/log/httpd/error_log if available

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes I did modify httpd.conf in etc/httpd/ .
I can't check that right now, (not untill ± 6 hours) When I do, I'll post a part of it here.
Is the log in /var/log/httpd/... by default (and on suse 8.1)?

Thanks in advance

This is what is all over my error_log file.

Don't know where to begin.

Thanks in advance.

>Error getting local address

probably you tried to use a hostname in httpd.conf which is unknown to your machine

I left it at the default (but I'm not sure.)
The loopback interface (127.0.0.1) was allready entered and I left it at that to test it.
I'll check that out.
Thanks for the tip.

This is basically my httpd.conf without the comments. With this configuration I still have the same error.

Thanks for looking in to it.

the problem seems to be the "ServerType inetd" line

most apache servers are started in "ServerType standalone" mode, and probably so is yours.

hope it helps :-)

By the way: what is your experience with LTSP, esspecialy in cobmination with Apache?

(I'm planing one project like that these days, only on Slackware distribution)

Thanks guys,

inetd was default and I left it that way. I'll try standalone and let you know.

To Dr.Lun : I'm really happy with LTSP for several reasons.
(I just used the basics of Linux computing since I'm just a newbie)
* all management is centrally based at the server.
* all data is stored on the server (no need for file server like samba - if you can ditch all windoze boxes for thin clients.)
* Thin Clients are completely solid state (not even a fan - really quiet) http://www.disklessworkstations.com
* I'm planning on using Apache for an intranet application (custom made PHPnuke modules - small business).
* Ethernet booting is fast on a 100Mbps network.
* Full KDE3 GUI on thin client. (for rookies like me)

for more info check out http://www.ltsp.org

Thanks guys,

Apache returned 0 ... succes.
I can access the server test pages by typing it's IP address.
I know you can set a hostname like www (if the server name is allready something else).
Where is that setting? Or how do you enable that?

thanks a mln.

for testing you can add

192.168.123.186 www
10.0.0.250 www2


to your /etc/hosts file
