- To see if apache is started a boot, run 'drakxservices'.
To see if it is currently running type '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status'
To restart apache, type '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart'
The default directory for your files with Mandrakes Apache is '/var/www/html' , and scripts should be put in '/var/www/cgi-bin'. See the
configuration file for apache for further info - '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf' and '/etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf'

- And you would proably want to use the command 'which apache' to see the location of the executable, but with servers, this is usually
not very helpful, as you normally don't execute the server directly.

- Try http://localhost/cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi and then check '/var/log/httpd/error_log' or you can open up two consoles, and run:
# tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log
# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
This should point you in the right direction. Hit CTRL-C to stop 'tail'.

- Hi,
Your files must be readable by the apache user (generally www or nobody). So
your file should be readable or owned by this user and directories must be
readable and executable.

- Wahooo!!!! Thanks, it works, now. You da man!!! That weird about the permissions, i had to set group and others to write, even it should have worked with just user set to write is the current user created the file, so i logged in as root changed the permissions and it worked.
Thanks again for your help!

- The best to do is to have your pages owned by the WWW user and all /cgi-bin
owned by someone else, but accessible in reading.
Please close the bug in Mandrake expert
Thanks
