Running Apache 2.x on OpenSUSE 10.2

Hi all,

I'm trying to run Apache 2 (latest version from the Yast repositories) on OpenSuse 10.2. The problem is that Apache fails to start.

Code:

host245:~ # rcapache2 start

Starting httpd2 (prefork)                                            failed

host245:~ #

I've set Apache's log mode to debug level and this is what is logged while making an attempt to start Apache:

Code:

[Thu Apr 19 09:55:13 2007] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 0 bytes of entropy

[Thu Apr 19 09:55:13 2007] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits)

So I'm kind of wondered what goes wrong where. I see a single error in the log, which I cannot resolve. Despite this, it's a warning that should not matter for starting Apache.

Can anybody give me some tips where to look for what?

Best, Robin

It's been long time since I did anything with Apache, but I remember there were different versions depending on multithreading support in the system. You seem to have prefork version. Check which version you should use on your system.

I seem to have it solved; after reconfiguring Apache using Yast, everything seems to be fine.
