Problems with my OLD webserver...

[gmoreno]

I just got this old 486 DX4 100MHZ and I wanted to use it as a webserver but Apache dosent want to work.... It just wont work... I have installed and remove apahce a couple times... It has Debian.... and it's at http://gabe.mine.nu:81 I have it set at 81 just for now so you can see it http://gabe.mine.nu:80 Which is my new box is working fine...

A copy of my configs are here:


http://gabe.mine.nu:81/httpd.conf
http://gabe.mine.nu:81/access.conf
http://gabe.mine.nu:81/mime.types
http://gabe.mine.nu:81/srm.conf

Need anything else tell me... I very much so appreciate your help....

Where is your DocumentRoot setting ?? I'm guessing thats the essential, which is missing..

[gmoreno]

There... I put document root... and I coppied over new httpd.conf.... I also put the index.html file... IT seems that Apache is not serving html pages right...
http://gabe.mine.nu:81/index.html

[redhead]

hmmm I don't see any: directoryIndex index.html index.php
setting, it needs it to decide, what index page as default to show you..

I did that but when I save the file and try to restart apache I get this error message:

Syntax error on line 268 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'DirectoryIndex', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

It's directoryIndex the d is small and I is cap.
Looks like you used a cap D.

I still get a similar problem...:
Syntax error on line 268 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'directoryIndex', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

hmmm.. I can't see why this would happen.. You could take a look at my apache configuration: http://www.redhead.dk/download/pub/httpd.conf and see why it's not working for you. This is an OpenBSD configuration so I'm not sure if Debiann will accept it, but why shouldn't it, Apache is Apache..
