Re: apache

What problem do you have?

Generally speaking, if you have a default apache install and you point your browser at "http://localhost" you get a rather ugly "Welcome to apache" page. At is simplest, you are therefore configured. This assumes you have actually started apache up. Check it is up with "ps -ef | grep httpd" and you should get between 5 and 10 of them.

"apachectl start" normally starts it.
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"

Re: apache

It depends on how simple it is.

generally you have a working example:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

There is also an apache configuration tool that lets you make certain changes with a point and lick gui tool.

A good way to learn, believe it or not is to read the httpd.conf file.

Its pretty well documented.

Re: apache

After you have looked at:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and tweaked it to your liking you can start Apache

/etc/init.d/httpd start

There are GUI tools that pretty much work to start networking. Start > system > network config

I think; didn't look just now.

Plus ensure that if you're using a software firewall (iptable), that you allow http (port 80) inwards.
