How to Install and Configure Apache on Linipus

someone can help pls?

 

I suppose you could run a web server on Linpus, though I don't know if I would try it.
It's probably yum -y install apache, which will, hopefully, pull in the other necessary applications.

However, if you're looking for information on setting up Apache itself, you're far better off just googling for something like apache tutorial fedora.

It's not that difficult, but there are various things that have to be done that can't really be covered in a forum post.

 

The easiest way is xampp for linux!
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

It installs apache, mysql and php automaticall, no configuration required

 

RedHat/Fedora naming convention is a little different:

Code:

yum install httpd

Manual and development libs are, if needed, 'httpd-manual' and 'httpd-devel' respectively. Modules all start with the package name of 'mod_', e.g. the module for SSL is 'mod_ssl'. A 'yum search mod_' will turn them up.

Configuration files are in '/etc/httpd/'. To start use 'service httpd start' (which is the same as '/etc/init.d/httpd start'. To have it automatically run when you start the computer use 'chkconfig httpd on'. Of course all the commands shown here must be run as the root user in a terminal window.

Look for other posts detailing how to enable the Fedora repositories if necessary.

 

I'm curious about why you'd want to run Apache on an AA0. I don't suppose it's difficult, but it isn't the sort of thing people usually buy a mini-laptop for. I appreciate that it's none of my business, of course

 

I guess that AAO is suitable for building an home made http server working 24/7, because of low consumpion and its solid state disk. AFAIK setting up the mentioned xampp is real simple. Once you get it working, you just need to register to some no-ip service to get a domain name, bypassing the dynamic ip that the internet service provider assigns you.

 

Maybe. But IMO for that application something based on, say, the Via Eden 5000 mini-itx board would probably be better. If you're careful about heat control you can run it completely fanless, and the power consumption is only a few watts on light load. You can pick something about for about £50 on eBay. And the Via mini-itx boards have a well-established reputation for long-term reliability. That's not to say that the AA0 won't be reliable in the long term -- but to use an AAO as a home web server seems a waste of a decent laptop, when you can get a dedicated server much cheaper.

thank you very very much.

 

Not my original post, but I also installed a webserver on the One - lightppd (which is in the repository); in my case it was to enable me to use it for website development using PHP.

 

Fair enough. It must be hard on the fingers and eyes though, to do development work on such a small machine?

 

I do most of it on a desktop machine - but I can sync files across to the One and carry on with stuff when I have to be out. It's a matter of deciding what to do on the smaller platform; smaller tweaks and so on.

It does also have the effect of providing a focus on what fits on a smaller screen, and so what will also hit the eye near the top of a larger screen!

 

Same here, I'm using xampp for web development with cms (spip). I find it to be extremely handy for developing while on the move, or while sitting in the park for that matter

I also do most of the serious stuff on a desktop, but I have to say for typing I find the One to be nearly perfect. Not at all too small for it to be inconvenient, and it has a great feel. Definitely way better then eee keyboard which is really below the comfort tresshold for me. Guess it depends on the size of your fingers etc...

 

hi,
