apache problem

Subbeh · Post by **Subbeh** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 2:21 am

I installed apache using these command,
"emerge sync && emerge mod_php"
changing servername in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf
"echo "APACHE2_OPTS=\"-D SSL -D PHP4\"" >> /etc/conf.d/apache2"

but when i start it with "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" i get a syntax error saying:
Syntax error on line 44 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/lib/apache2/conf/ssl/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

when i turn off SSL i get another error saying there is no error_log

so i got turned off ssl like you

find a directory that contains the log file,
then change ownership root to apache

I got it working now.
though I havent changed ownership root to apache, how do i do that?
Also when i try to upload files through ftp it says i don't have permission, i know it's got something to do with chmod but i can't really figure it out, its all kinda new to me

Congratulation!

To upload files through ftp, just change owner and group of web document root directory to your ftp user's.

chown -R owner.group /var/www/localhost/htdocs/

Im getting the same error, line 44 etc, how did you turn off SSL?

i have attempted to turn it off in 41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf by changing SSLEngine to 'off'. still get the error!

just miss out the -D SSL in /etc/conf.d/apache2

if you guys do happen to want SSL support for your apache installation, you will need to copy server.crt and server.key from /var/tmp/portage/ to /etc/apache2/conf/ssl (you'll have to mkdir the directory). Then also make sure /var/cache/apache2 exists. This is all due to some inconvenient problem with the current net-www/apache-2.0.52-r1 ebuild.

here are two great links to help you out further http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Apache2 (gentoo wiki how-to on apache) and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... highlight= (gentoo forums post regarding this problem)...

hope this helps
