Sorry - I wasn't very clear.
Now that you see that /usr/lib/apache2/logs is a link to /var/log/apache2, you need to check that that directory exists, and is writable by the appropriate user.
So try
| Code: |
$ ls -ld /var/log/apache2/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 18 14:45 /var/log/apache2/
|
The output here shows that the directory is owned by the user root, and writable only by that user.
So make sure you're running apache2 as root, and it should work.
If you get something like "no such directory" then you have a broken symlink (one that points to something that isn't there).

Probably no need. It is quite likely a permissions issue not a symlink one anyway. |

hello, ok i setup apache2 php mysql for use as local webdev testing, default server is /var/www/localhost

I have the website dev files in

I have setup an alias in default server

But when trying to install mambo i get

The lines it is refering to are
| Code: |
include_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path . "/includes/version.php" );
require_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path . "/includes/database.php" );
|
both these files exist so it must a path issue somewhere?
any ideas?
cheers |
Donno if it's too late for this, but: in the error you have "/path/to/mambo/" you're suposed to edit your config file and specify the path where manbo is

As root im getting:

for the above ls command... |

I'm thinking you made the /usr/lib/apache2, which resulted in your error message.
The way I resolved the same issue is:
| Code: | | mkdir /var/log/apache2 && chown apache /var/log/apache2 |

I get an error when starting apache (apache -k start). Something about error opening log file, I don't know exactly because i'm not in my linux box, but I'll post the exact error later.

Can someone PLEASE help me?
Here is the history:
I emerged apache using this command:
| Code: | | emerge apache mod_php mod_mp3 php mysql phpmyadmin php-cgi |
First I was having trouble starting Apache, getting this error:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# apache2 -k start
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /usr/lib/apache2/logs/error_log.
Unable to open logs |
Then I had some progress...
I've backtracked what its referring to and I've found that /usr/lib/apache2/logs is actually some kind of symlink to the /var/log/apache2 folder.
This folder did not exist though, so I created it and it helped somewhat.
Then I just got this error:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# apache2 -k start
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName |
Then more progress:
Edited /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf and uncommented the line for ServerName. Now I dont get an error message, however, my server does not seem to be working as I cant access it from outside.
Can someone please assist?
Thanks.
K.
EDIT: Here is a dump from my file:/var/log/apache2/error_log file:
| Code: | [Tue Dec 14 00:55:27 2004] [alert] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "libby"
Configuration Failed |
I have a feeling it has something to do with my hostname as thats what 'libby' is...

I tried restarting the PC as well. I now get this error during startup:
| Code: | *Bringing up eth0 via DHCP... [!!]
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started.
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "apache2" was not started. |
I'm assuming this is to do with apache2 since I was not getting the 'netmount' error before now.
I'm really stuck now.

Does anyone have an idea on how to make the http and https servers point to separate documentroots??
In my apache2.conf file I have:
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs
In my 41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf file I have:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/sslhtdocs"
Both directories exist ane are owned by root and in group root. The two directories have perms 755. The files in each of the directories are owned by root and in group root as well. The perms on the files are all 644. Thus there should be no permissions problems. However when I start the server and browse to https://127.0.0.1/index.html (which definitely exists with perms described above) I get the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Gentoo/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7d DAV/2 PHP/4.3.9 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 443
This makes no sense to me since it seems from the config files everything is cool. I reset the https documentroot to:
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs
and then it works when I go to https://127.0.0.1/index.html
However I want the insecure http server to serve different items then the https server.
Does anyone know what might be going on with my apache2.conf or my 41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf files?
Thanks... |

Don't forget to chown the dir /var/log/apache2 to apache.

|

I read all of the instructions, but I've run into a problem. I've used ufed to set everything to apache2, but every time I run emerge -p mod_ssl or mod_perl or some such module, Apache-1.3 shows up in the install list even thought Apache 2.0.nn is installed. Any help here would be good. I installed PHP with mysql support and it works fine and its loading as a module.
Thanks in advance,
Curtis Maurand |

Maybe you should do something like this:
USE="apache2" emerge -p mod_ssl |

Here is what I get when I do that. Its also set in make.conf and doesn't seem to make any difference.
orion # USE="apache2" emerge -p mod_ssl
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild NS ] net-www/apache-1.3.32-r1
[ebuild N ] net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.21

Hi all...
Seems there has been some activity on this subject, so I figured I would update the tutorial to focus on Apache 2.x with PHP 5.x, but still including the old tutorial. Hope this new updated tutorial might help a few more people.

Well, maybe all the pertinent info was available from the output of emerge ,but with the thousands of lines each emerge does it's pretty hard to pay attention to every single little colored asterick ; ). Thank you sooo much for making this easier on me. I am stoked to start learning PHP; my friends tell me there's lots of money there and i think some of it ought to be mine ; ).
BTW, according to my computer, The php apache module emerge and the command-line php emerge conflict with the dev-lang/php emerge . I don't know why that would be but whatever. Maybe that'll help someone or something. And FYI everybody this howto is still completely relevent.
Thanks again, you rock! |
