Connecting to own http

[MadKAT]

On fresh installed MDK 10, I have apache2 installed, and also webmin. MCC indicates that http is running. I can even stop and start it from there. But how come I cannot connect to it?

 

Pointing the browser to http://127.0.0.1 yields the error:

 

An error occurred while loading http://127.0.0.1:

Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1

 

/var/www/html exists and are readable.

 

However, doing https://127.0.0.1:10000 actually brings up webmin. It also works even if I substitute 127.0.0.1 with the IP address I get from DHCP.

 

So why not localhost? Is there any configuration that I need to set-up? When I had MDK 9.2, it brings up the default page.

 

Thanks in advance!

Starting it through MCC is a hit and miss affair. Open a consol and su to root, then type:

service httpd status

If that doesn't work type:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status

If it isn't running

type

 /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

If it starts but you still get access refused, have a look at the logs for error messages. You will find those in /var/log/httpd

Thank You, anon! You've been a great help!

 

I did:

[root@xilke root]#  /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd2:                                                [  OK  ]

[root@xilke root]# service httpd status

Apache is *not* running.

Use /etc/init.d/httpd extendedstatus for more information.

 

So, as you suggested I looked at /var/log/httpd, and in the error log I found:

Sun Aug 15 23:46:26 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/apache2-suexec)
[Sun Aug 15 23:46:27 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Sun Aug 15 23:46:27 2004] [notice] Digest: done
[Sun Aug 15 23:46:28 2004] [error] Cannot allocate shared memory: (17)File exists

 

And so I googled for the error message, and learned that apache may have lefet some ssl lock files. Sure enough, there were several ssl-* files in/var/log/httpd. So I renamed these files and restarted apache. And it worked. I can access the site now.

 

Thanks!!!

Hello madKAT,

 

I have also a fresh installed MDK 10, I have apache2 installed, and also webmin. MCC indicates that http is not running. Can you tell me what version of kernel is running on your system ?

The httpd2 does not work and the error_log file says " Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock Configuration Failed "

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

Hi Mondo,

 

My kernel is the one that came default with MDK 10, which is kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.

 

I'm not getting the same error message as you but, it appears it may be related. My apache version is 2.0.48.

 

Thanks

Hi MadKAT,

 

I read some place that the problem might be related to kernel (2.6.3-7mdk) which came with MDK 10.0. Please, please tell me the procedure how-to get apache version 2.0.48. I tried urpmi update but with no luck. I will really appreciate your help here.

 

Thanks
