 Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 6:16 pm Post subject: getting apache to work |
 |
|
I have a fresh install of gentoo (everything has been emerged within the past day) and I am trying to get apache, phpmyadmin, and a couple of php pages to work (sugarcrm and mediawiki). It has been a long time since I set up a webserver in gentoo (and last time all I did was type "emerge apache" then "/etc/init.d/httpd start"). So today I did the following commands:
| Code: |
emerge apache
emerge mysql
/usr/bin/mysql_install_db
mysqladmin -u root password 'my password'
rc-update add apache2 default
rc-update add mysql default
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
/etc/init.d/mysql start
emerge phpmyadmin
|
And now I go to http://127.0.0.1/ and it gives me a 404 error instead of the page that says you have installed apache. It also gives me the 404 if I specify index.html.
The default vhost file says that my web directory is /var/www/localhost/htdocs, but all I seem to get is 404s. What did I do wrong?

sorry that was typing "apache2 -k start", not "/etc/init.d/apache2"
here is what I get when I type /etc/init.d/apache2 start
| Code: |
bb2 / # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ...
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [ ok ]

I got the same thing about the servername, I went into the apache2.conf and httpd.conf and made "ServerName localhost"
after that i didn't get the error message again. Also when i got an error about virtual host, i went to the config file and disable it.
I wouldn't recommend doing this because i dont exactly know what I'm doing, but maybe this will help |

Apparently I am having the same problem as cyb0rg51 in his post https://forums.gentoo.org/posting.php?mode=reply&t=426423
Could a mod merge our threads (or at least delete one of them)? |

Ill try and delete it myself and merge it onto yours. I found this helpful from one of the posts, but didn't solve the problem
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/apache-developer.xml
Here is my error log
| Code: |

| Creating a symbolic link in usr to /var/www/localhost/htdocs appears to work, but I don't know about how good of an idea that is. |

did you run an etc-update (dont know if that will help), from what I hear all you need to do is make sure DocumentRoot points to /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
I have the exact same apache2 running on another remote location and i'm trying to compare and contrast the config files |

Have you checked out the gentoo wiki how to on installation of Apache?
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Apache2_Install
Some of that stuff may be useful! |

This appears solved now for me, I remerged apache after enabling a couple use flags (I believe I enabled apache2, doc, and threads).
A temporary workaround I did was create a symlink:
| Code: | cd /usr
ln -s /var/www/localhost/htdocs
|
I wonder if there is some problem in the ebuild when only certain flags are set. Here are my apache use flags taken from "emerge -vp apache":
| Code: | net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1 +apache2 -debug +doc -ldap -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker -no-suexec (-selinux) +ssl -static-modules +threads

I found a Solution!!!!
turns out after i did a
after which i ran an
| Code: |
emerge --update --deep world
emerge --update --deep system
etc-update
env-update
|
I'm still a pretty big newbie to gentoo and linux but i think what happen was I updated the portage and my system. Apache warned me that i had an old configuration file and updated a new one. After the reboot everything seemed to work fine.
I also need to read up on the USE flags |
