apache

[Nobody's Hero]

Does linux support apache http server?
If so, how do I get it, and is there an easy to follow doc to configure it? I am running RH9.

Yes, Linux definitely supports Apache.

Go to http://httpd.apache.org/

From there you can download the latest version as well as find the most up to date documentation, including installation tutorials.

The documents at http://httpd.apache.org will do you just fine for day to day server operation and configuration.

Here is the doc you asked for.

Hi,

Apache comes with RH9. If you don't have it installed already, just look for a package named 'http' on one of your install disks.

As user root do
#service httpd status

if you get a mening full answer like httpd is stopped ... then you know it is installed

you can also do
# service httpd dfmlghkdfl

this will return all the posible options if httpd is there...

If that fail's you could do a
# locate apache | more

just to see what you have got on the system

if there is nothing there then you could get help from http://www.apache.org or perhaps from your linux distribution site.

keep us informed, and have fun
