How to determine IP address of Apache

I just installed Apache, mysql and php5, following this tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-opensuse-11.3-lamp created by Falco
it even mentions about IP may not being the same as listed in tutorial, but how do i go about determine what ip address is correct

 

By default most likely it will be your server IP and port 80

 

thanks for responce

really don't find that response very helpful, I only want to test from my own machine, just like in instruction posted about how to set up apache at this website http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-opensuse-11.3-lamp using an Internal device ip 192.168.... blah blah. what server i have no server set up yet

 

only running apache from routerback to PC

i am not access the internet at this time, like having a domain name

 

to be honest POLK

I find the response totally useless, not sure why you would even bother to respond with such vague information. and yes of course we browser work on port 80, not that really needed in configuration but thanks for pointing that out

 

thinking it might be limitations of Router

Using a ISP supplied Router/modem speedstream 6520

take it easy a little and sorry I didn't understand your question. You can find out your External IP address by going to sites like this:
http://www.whatismyip.com/

If you want to know your internal IP address, you can check it here:
/etc/network/interfaces (ubuntu, debian)
Centos:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

hope this helps.

 

yes Thans Polk

sorry for being unkind , but the external ip whatmyip just redirects me to my router, and the 2 scripts you provided do not work, my fault for telling you i am using opensuse 11.3
I have run apache successfully on windows, but having bad luck just even getting started on linux

 

Those are not scripts, but paths where to check with your favorite text editor (vi, nano)

Also check here:
/etc/httpd/conf

you would go there by command:

Code:

cd /etc/httpd/conf

then type:

Code:

ls

this folder has the Apache settings.

 

really bad luck

none of the last steps provided worked, i suppose to do this from terminal correct ?

 

It depends where you installed SuSE at. If it's on your local computer, then you don't need terminal.
Check this page, it explains how to configure an IP address:

favorite text editor

favorite text editor, hmm linux been on my computer for a week, think it be to soon to tell what my be my favorite text editor, think i made reference about being new to linux in earlier post

 

yes, you did. and I mentioned some or you to choose. my favorite is 'nano'

PS: with this attitude you wont get far. we are just trying to help here.

 

sorry

yes i am in a bad mood not over this, but a crown prosecutor that would give me flexibility for my testimony date on a trail that last a week long. I have know lost employment due to lack of concern by courts, so yes very moody right now and sorry promise not to rude anymore, i do recognize that you are help out greatly. considering my testimony was only for the drama affect of case since i was the one hurt by the criminal and witnessed nothing now i feel victimized by a non caring judicial system

 

I definitely wish you luck in your personal life.

You've come to the right site for the linux help. If you are still getting trouble with SuSE, please give me a little more details as to what you configured, where and what you are trying to do. I will do my best to help.

 

To find your server’s IP address, it needs root privilages.

ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | awk '{ print $2 }'
