Description: how to make it work?

I cant figure out how to run apache web server on red hat linux. I have no idea what to do. I don't even know the folder it is located in. Or what program you run to access the control panel. (if there is one). And what are some good free control panels for web servers that you can install on linux?
btw, it looks as if everyone is starting to run linux now.

How the apache server is run varies across linux so this may not work exactly for you.
To check to see if it is running you can do a:
| CODE |
| ps -ef | grep httpd | grep -v grep |
I usually start it with:
| CODE |
cd /etc/init.d
./httpd restart
|
The config files are usually located under:

ok, thanks, i got apache to work. I just needed to type httpd at the command prompt. (or whatever it is called in linux.) And I found the configuration file, so I know where to put my docs. And php is working. But mysql is not. Does anyone know how to install or run mysql?
Thanks.

Ok to get mysql running:
| CODE |
cd /etc/init.d
./mysqld restart |
To connect to it via command line tools use:
Just as a side not:
Webadmin is a really usfull service to run (probably already running). It allows you to configure all your services etc via a webbrowser. Just point the webbrowser at port 10000 (ten thousand) of you machine, if webadmin is running it should be obvious from there.

correction:
to connect to the mysql database via CLI you need to type
$ mysql -u <username> -p <databasename>
-p is only needed if you have a pasword.
an example:
$ mysql -u incubator -p test
then it will ask for your password.
you cna add -h <hostname> if it is on a remote server
btw, pretty strange RH likes to change its commands so much.
normally apache is started with /etc/init.d/apache start (or apache2 start) | restart | stop
wich imo is more logical anywhay since the sevrer is called apache and not httpd :)

But my server was called httpd!!!!
The problem is there is no standard.

You can always specifiy which database after you started mysql ;) And also, a default install would actually let you in without specifing a username...

yes, but how insecure that would be ;)
