[SOLVED] Confused about apache in Slackware 13.1

paliga · 03-01-2011, 05:59 AM

Hi g&g,

I'm kind of confused about if apache is running on my system or not.

netstat shows that nothing is listening on port 80
inetd config shows that theres nothing associated with port 80
ps shows that theres no webserver running
pkgtool shows that theres httpd installed

but when I go to localhost in a webbrowser... I get the standard "It works!" Page...

how come?

any ideas?

Its just a Slackware 13.1 DVD full package installation...

Thanks in advance...

cheerios...

Default configuration makes Apache to work in localhost. In other words, local only.

How come that its running and how can I trace it?

How do you check that apache is running?

Code:

root@darkstar:~#/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
root@darkstar:~# ps aux | grep httpd
root      6125  0.6  0.6 380516 13460 ?        Ss   12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
apache    6128  0.0  0.3 380516  7112 ?        S    12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
apache    6129  0.0  0.3 380516  7112 ?        S    12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
apache    6130  0.0  0.3 380516  7112 ?        S    12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
apache    6131  0.0  0.3 380516  7112 ?        S    12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
apache    6132  0.0  0.3 380516  7112 ?        S    12:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start
root@darkstar:~#

You need to look for httpd, not apache

Kind regards

Thanks for your answers...

I am looking for httpd... I checked with pkgtool what the sbins are... and since the packagename is also httpd there was no much space for confusion...

I do 'ps aux PIPE grep httpd' and get 'grep httpd' only!

localhost in firefox still shows "It works!"

Thanks to you my Paranoia got fed, since my machines in question hostname is also darkstar... but its completely sealed off from the internet...

What happens if you run

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart

Did you perhaps installed another webserver?

Kind regards

paliga · 03-01-2011, 06:43 AM

Theres no /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd...

I did installed ruby and rails... they use WEBrick as http server, but only when you start it by "rails server"... and not on port 80 but port 3000... and rails is off...

and "It works!" is typical for apache, isnt it?

It turned out, that firefox keeps on loading some pages from cache, even if its not in offline mode.

Whats even more strange, it keeps on loading only some (couldnt find a pattern) of the recent pages from cache.

Thanks for your help g&g
