There's an Apache forum here:

This is startlingly easy to do. Fire up YAST2, select Servers -> apache2. Click OK.

How about a database, php, and perl support along with a ftp server, phpAdmin, all glued together nicely in a super simple installation to go with that web server? Try xampp.

1. download the latest installation to your /opt directory as root.
2. type: tar xzvf xampp-latest-version.tar.gz

that's it!!

to start the services, type: /opt/lampp/lampp start

now point your browser to

http://localhost

(or whatever your IP address is.) Enjoy!


to secure it all up type: /opt/lampp/lampp security
and follow the easy directions.

If you want to really master your apache, get dirty with the httpd.conf file.


A very easy tutorial is at

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

I thought that Apache2 did not use httpd.conf. That it used apache2.conf as the configuration file?

Thank You

It could be either depending on how your distro is set up. It's just a name - the configuration file name is really only for convienience/convention; theoretically, it could have any name.
