httpd not found

On my Linux-server httpd is running (if it is not, users are unable to see my websites).
I am trying to install ISPConfig. The setup-script says:
httpd not found
(my conf file is located in: /usr/local/apache/1.3.34/conf/httpd.conf)

What can I do solve that problem?

 

Which distribution do you use? Did you use one of the "Perfect Setup" guides on HowtoForge to set up the system?

Is your Apache located in an unusual location?
Please run

Code:

updatedb
locate httpd

and post the output.

 

I am using SuSE 10.

I found and used this installation manual.

the commands updatedb and locate httpd results in a
command not found

Maybe Appache is located in an unusual location, I followed the installation instruction from (the Dutch translation of) these manual (but I preferred to use the newest version of the applications).

Thanks for help in advance.

 

Is it possible (and recommended) to edit the setup script on such a way that the setup script find the httpd at the right place?

 

I am sorry, I don't know what a symlink is.
As mentioned in a previous message, my apache is located in /usr/local/apache/1.3.34, so I entered:

Code:

ln -s /usr/local/apache/1.3.34/bin /usr/bin/httpd

When I run ISPconfig's setup again, the error message is the same: httpd not found.

 

This tutorial installs Apache in an unusual location, that's why the ISPConfig installer doesn't find it. You should use this tutorial instead: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0

Please run this:

Code:

yast -i findutils findutils-locate

and then again

Code:

updatedb
locate httpd

and post the output.

 

What happens the currently installed websites into httpd.conf and vhost.conf?
Are they installed properly after the setup procedure described in mentioned URL?

some utils were installed...

Here's the output:

Hope it is clearly for you

 

Does ISPConfig provide an option to migrate the websites or can I 'simply' copy the websites to the trr directory?

I'll try to translate what the result is of this command:

Code:

ln: making symbolic link: '/usr/bin/httpd/httpd' to '/usr/local/apache/1.3.34/bin/httpd': file exists

 

You must create web sites first in ISPConfig, and after ISPConfig has created the appropriate directories for these web sites, you can copy over your old web sites.

Please post the output of

Code:

which httpd

 

There was no output of which httpd.

I also tell you the last few lines of the output of ISPConfig:

Code:

########## WEB SERVER ##########

Please run

Code:

rm -fr /usr/bin/httpd
ln -s /usr/local/apache/1.3.34/bin/httpd /usr/bin/httpd
which httpd

What's the output?

 

Code:

linux:/share/install_ispconfig # rm -fr /usr/bin/httpd
linux:/share/install_ispconfig # ln -s /usr/local/apache/1.3.34/bin/httpd /usr/bin/httpd
linux:/share/install_ispconfig # which httpd
/usr/bin/httpd
linux:/share/install_ispconfig #   

 

Ok, now you can try again to install ISPConfig.

 

Falko, you are great! I think it's working now. May be there occur other problems, but for now it is working...
