Hi apache gurus 
I have been following wiki and forum threads to unmuddle my apache2 setup and find I am confused about where I am going wrong:
I need some clarifications and pointers to help me see the light.
My machine is called "mythology" and I have a dyndns ip setup on my router which gets my wan dhcp address.
My router is setup to put mythology in the DMZ and so far I am always able to get to
mydyndns.homelinux.org:22
so far so good; I am able to reliably get terminal sessions to my box in the dmz.
Now I want mythweb and phpMyAdmin etc available from port 8000 so I did the apache2 emerge
.
At first I was having apache2 complain about resolving the local host name and fqdn
| Code: | mythology ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ...
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for mythology.mydyndns.homelinux.org
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName |
but after modifying my /etc/conf.d/hostname and domainname I find that apache2 can start:
| Code: | mythology apache2 # cat /etc/conf.d/hostname
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="mythology.mydyndns.homelinux.org"
mythology apache2 # cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
OVERRIDE=1
DNSDOMAIN="mydyndns.homelinux.org"
mythology apache2 # |
| Code: | mythology apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ... [ !! ]
mythology apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 status
* status: stopped
mythology apache2 #
|
So I began working on my available config files and find that I am confused about which ones are being used. There is:
/etc/conf.d/apache2
and /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
and potentially the virtual host defined in vhotsts.d (since the virtual host module is automatically started.
so here is what I have in each of those in an attempt to get my box on the air on port 8000
| Code: | mythology conf.d # cat apache2
# /etc/conf.d/apache2: config file for /etc/init.d/apache2
# When you install a module it is easy to activate or deactivate the modules
# and other features of apache using the APACHE2_OPTS line. Every module should
# install a configuration in /etc/apache2/modules.d. In that file will have an
# <IfDefine NNN> directive where NNN is the option to enable that module.
#
# Here are the options available in the default configuration:
#
# AUTH_DIGEST Enables mod_auth_digest
# AUTHNZ_LDAP Enables authentication through mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
# CACHE Enables mod_cache
# DAV Enables mod_dav
# ERRORDOCS Enables default error documents for many languages.
# INFO Enables mod_info, a useful module for debugging
# LANGUAGE Enables content-negotiation based on language and charset.
# LDAP Enables mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
# MANUAL Enables /manual/ to be the apache manual (available if USE=docs)
# MEM_CACHE Enables default configuration mod_mem_cache
# PROXY Enables mod_proxy
# SSL Enables SSL (available if USE=ssl)
# SUEXEC Enables running CGI scripts (in USERDIR) through suexec.
# USERDIR Enables /~username mapping to /home/username/public_html
#
#
# The following two options provide the default virtual host for the HTTP and
# HTTPS protocol. YOU NEED TO ENABLE AT LEAST ONE OF THEM, otherwise apache
# will not listen for incomming connections on the approriate port.
#
# DEFAULT_VHOST Enables name-based virtual hosts, with the default
# virtual host being in /var/www/localhost/htdocs
# SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST Enables default vhost for SSL (you should enable this
# when you enable SSL)
#
APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D LANGUAGE -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST"
# Extended options for advanced uses of Apache ONLY
# You don't need to edit these unless you are doing crazy Apache stuff
# As not having them set correctly, or feeding in an incorrect configuration
# via them will result in Apache failing to start
# YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
# ServerRoot setting
SERVERROOT=/usr/lib/apache2
# Configuration file location
# - If this does NOT start with a '/', then it is treated relative to
# $SERVERROOT by Apache
CONFIGFILE=/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# Location to log startup errors to
# They are normally dumped to your terminal.
#STARTUPERRORLOG="/var/log/apache2/startuperror.log"
# A command that outputs a formatted text version of the HTML at the URL
# of the command line. Designed for lynx, however other programs may work.
#LYNX="lynx -dump"
# The URL to your server's mod_status status page.
# Required for status and fullstatus
STATUSURL="http://localhost/server-status"
# Method to use when reloading the server
# Valid options are 'restart' and 'graceful'
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html for information on
# what they do and how they differ.
RELOAD_TYPE="graceful"

In the above I uncommented the line that points to httpd;.conf as the config file since I had already edited it thus:
| Code: | mythology apache2 # cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# This is a modification of the default Apache 2.2 configuration file
# for Gentoo Linux.

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "var/log/apache2/foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/var/log/apache2/foo.log".
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
ServerRoot "/usr/lib/apache2"
ServerName mythology.mydyndns.homelinux.org:8000
Listen 8000
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
# GENTOO: Automatically defined based on APACHE2_MODULES USE_EXPAND variable.
# Do not change manually, it will be overwritten on upgrade.
#
# The following modules are considered as the default configuration.
# If you wish to disable one of them, you may have to alter other
# configuration directives.

Not the attempt to ge the server name correct and handle the listening port.
unfortunately it seems that I have bigger fish to fry since the apache error log shows:

Basically I started with a default gentoo emerge and now have fooled around a bit too much to be thinking I am making any progress.
I do run shorewall but have checked that it is not to blame -
| Code: | ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:8000
|
can someone please parse the above and walk me through the setup?
TIA
Will
