SwiftDeath Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 When installing Mandrake Linux 10.0 Community, I selected the option for Apache Webserver. I also installed MySql so I could run basic databases. How do I configure Apache, its really confusing (I'm a former IIS user) and I don't know what pathfile to put my webpages in. Is their a package for phpmyadmin or something similiar. I need a easy way to comfigure MySql databases. Thanks, SwiftDeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Default directory for your webserver is /var/www/html You can install webmin, start it on the command line as root with the command service webmin start and point your browser to https://localhost:10000 and login as root, you will see under the Servers tab an icon for MySQL. phpMyAdmin is also available to install. (Don't read any further if you understood everything I said up there) To install webmin from the commandline, open a console (it is located under System->Terminals or the little TV-looking icon in your taskbar) and do this (anything you see in <<brackets>> is just a comment or an action and you don't actually type it, just follow the instructions): su <<hit enter>> <<type in your root password...you won't see anything being typed and hit enter>> urpmi webmin <<hit enter>> service webmin start <<hit enter>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks, Thats a sweet a program but it hard to configure apache, because thats set for apache 1 and i'm using apache2 so you have to change alot and its kind hard. Thanks, its really helpful. Is their any settings I should be aware about that would stop basic user fuctioning like a forum or ftp connections or something?

Guest anon Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 ftp has nothing much to do with apache, its a seperate server. What exact problem are you having, is it apache or mysql? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Their... I fixed that problem by updating the webmin by using the update button. My problem is when I am configuring the Pro Ftp server using webmin and start the initial and allowed directories to only be /var/www/html, when I log on it still logs me on the the home directory which kinda confusing. I am also trying to get the webserver to work on port 8000, and when i make the virtual server for it and choose the same setting as the default server, except for t he port to be 8000, its not working. Maybe I am forgetting something. Btw, this webmin tool looks very promising and If I can figure this out, I'm never using IIS again. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hmmm... After restarting the comp, that fixed the ftp problem, not I just gotta figure out the port 8000 thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Do you want the webserver to work only on port 8000 or on 80 and 8000? The config file is probably in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and is well explained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 (edited) Both ports if thats possible. I am trying to do it with webmin so I can control the comp from far away. I am put a way more detailed description on their site when i figured out they would have a better answer.
