Author where is the Apache HTTP server in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Linux 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Wed Aug 18 20:58:25 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Not quite familiar with Linux. Still trying to understand what's
already included in the system and what should be downloaded as packages.

According to
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals...tpdconfig.html,
Apache HTTP server 2.0 should be provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
But I cannot find it anywere on the above machine. I've searched
httpd.conf, apachectl, etc. Apache related files/commands but got
nothing back.

Can anybody shed some light? Thanks.

Hi Bing,

Are you trying to find the httpd file (run "which httpd" or "locate httpd") or the root directory of
the web? If you've found the httpd.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) then look for the
"DocumentRoot" line. On my copy of RHEL WS 3 it is set to /var/www/html.

To see what services are set to start up do:

chkconfig --list | grep on

or specifically, for httpd if you are wondering if it should be starting up do:

chkconfig --list httpd

and it will show you in which runlevels it is setup to be started. If there is no listing for httpd
then maybe it didn't get installed.

Good luck,

Steve

rpm is your friend.

$ rpm -qi httpd
Name : httpd Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 2.0.46 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
[ ... ]
$ rpm -ql httpd
/etc/httpd
/etc/httpd/conf
[ ... ]

If you get something like...
$ rpm -qi httpd
package httpd is not installed

then you simply need to install it.
$ sudo up2date httpd

up2date takes care of dependencies for you and makes sure you have
the most current version of packages provided by httpd. If you really
wanted to, you could use rpm directly from the cd...

Thanks all who replied. It turned out httpd was not installed by
default when I installed RHEL 3. 'up2date httpd' worked.
