Success. I needed /etc/init.d/apache2 and I can get a test page in my browser now. Which I can replace with an html file of my choice. Thanks for the help.

I started off in yast, and totally missed "http server" which I have now found
.


Cheers,
Roger

the answer is the same for any service on suse, go into yast and find
the bit where services are started. i don't have suse available this
second, follow your nose :)

or go to the command line and type:

/etc/init.d/apache start

(of course on suse the script might be called /etc/init.d/httpd, but
searching through your apache installed files would tell you:

rpm -ql apache |grep init

easier to use yast :)

Hi, I have apache2 installed on this suse 9.1 box (Yast tells me all sorts of apache2 packages are there). How can I start the server? Running httpd gives me "command not found". In a browser http://seven or http://192.168.0.7 or http://localhost all give "the connection was refused when attempting to contact seven". None of this is a surprise given the server isn't started.

Looked so simple when Steve demonstrated it recently. Googling produces so much info on apache tutorials, and I have dozens of apache files and directories all over the place that I am overwhelmed by the whole thing and hope someone can point me in the right direction.
