Fedora + Apache problems

[whitetiger0990]

I successfully installed Fedora thanks to eno_on's instrctions. But I can't get apache to work. I type

su -
*root pass*
system-config-httpd

and this comes up about 20 times

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkLabel to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

then the window pops up and i make soem changes. then i click ok. then yes (to save it) and this comes up in the prompt

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-httpd/ApacheConf.py", line 273, in on_main_ok_button_clicked
if not control.write():

Ft.Xml.Xslt.XsltException: Stylesheet (file:///usr/share/system-config-httpd/httpd.conf.xsl): XML parse error at line 10, column 15: not well-formed (invalid token)

and the window doesn't close



Help please?

edit the httpd.conf file manually. It works for me (I don't use a GUI).
it's in /etc/httpd/conf
To start apache - do:

Code:

service httpd start

or

Code:

httpd -k start

hope that helps :wink:

yay! ok I got it and it started. but....
I type in my ip (that i got from http://whatismyip.com ) and it get's connection refused. I tried from another computer and nothing. I tried the internal network IP thingy and it worked from the server PC but not from the other.
suggestions?

You need to open the http port on the fedora firewall. Otherwise - no connection.

OK... How?

wt: download and install webmin. It will make your life a lot easier when configuring the system. Goto www.webmin.com and download the rpm. Install it as root by:

rpm -ivh <rpm name>
