Title: Help with Apache!
Post by: Neuro7 on 21 August 2002, 02:36

Could someone point me in the right direction to get started setting up Apache as a sever and how to create a web page? I am fairly new to Linux and am running Red Hat 7.3 right now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Start with the man page and then post about certain aspects of it that you don't get.  What you're asking is wayyyyy to general.

You dont really need to setup apache, just turn it on. (at least in my case) you can do this on the shell with: 'chkconfig httpd on' and then '/etc/init.d/httpd start'. (none of those have the semi-quotes) That will turn on apache. You can then setup your webpages in /var/www/html (i'd suggest index.html or index.php for your default page) You can also give useraccounts their sites as well. But you need to 'mkdir /home/username/public_html' and 'chgrp apache /home/* -R' (you can make that more secure if you want, it's just the fast way) and 'chmod g+rx /home/* -R' that'll link /home/username/public_html to http://servername.tld/~username (http://servername.tld/~username)
