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

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

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

 DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

 HostnameLookups On
 

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

4. If you plan to enable the web interface user login feature, the ServerName directive should be set to a resolvable host name and UseCanonicalnames should be turned on. This will ensure the link provided in the email to verify user registration is valid. Follow the example below replacing YourServer.yourdomain.edu with your servers name.

     ServerName YourSever.yourdomain.edu  

     UseCanonicalName On
  

5. 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
