Noob guide to apache?
 

I installed mandrake like 2 days ago and I'm getting used to the linux environment, but when I wanted to get a server running I was lost as hell trying to get anywhere. I installed the apache package from the mandrake cd and the documentation, but I have no clue where the documentation installed to or how to set it up from here. I'm really just clueless as to where to get started. :scratch:

hehe

search for the file apachectl (it controls Apache)

run "apachectl start" to start the server

To edit the config, edit the file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf or /etc/apache/apache.conf or something similar. See what you can find and edit with options.

Good luck!

I'm at work now, but when I get home I'll mess with it. I think im gonna start documenting everything I do so I can make things that are daunting to a noobie somewhat understandable.
