Why are we telling them to turn on Hostnamelookups, or to add index.shtml to their DirectoryIndex.


Install Apache Web Server

1. Install the Apache Web Server with the YaST or yum utility.

2. Find "httpd.conf".
This is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on CentOS and /etc/apache2/httpd.conf on SuSE

3. Edit the "httpd.conf" configuration file with the following:

 DirectoryIndex index.htm index.shtm index.html index.shtml index.php

 HostnameLookups On
 

Note: It may be possible to edit httpd.conf in YaST2 as well.

4. Restart the web server.

apachectl restart
     or
sudo /sbin/service httpd restart     (ON CentOS/RHEL/Fedora)
     or
/etc/sbin/rcapache2 restart   (ON SuSE)
     or
/sbin/service httpd restart
If you want to start the web server automatically at boot on SuSE
sudo /sbin/chkconfig apache2 on  #SuSE
sudo /sbin/chkconfig httpd on  #CentOS/RHEL/Fedora

< Configure php.ini | Check php information >
