Ok I currently have an HP NetServer specs are:

PIII processor
2GB Ram
4 18.2 GB HP SCSI drives
2. 32.8 GB HP SCSI
(not in a RAID config)

Anyway it is currently running Red Hat 9 and we have told it to run as a Server on install so it has a lot of stuff for it to run as one but my question is what Programs would be best to use on it I have gotten a lot of response from another board to use Apache but when installing I keep running into the same error of being able to start it . IT wont start Also after I get it installed and configured properly I would like to know what to do from there so that people can see it online. Anyway thanks in advance for any and all help

what errors are you getting?

[Bait]

it says it cant be started

[Bait]

root@localhost apache_1.3.33]# cd /usr/local/apache
[root@localhost apache]# /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
bash: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Permission denied
[root@localhost apache]# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
[Wed Nov 3 11:59:34 2004] [warn] Apache does not support line-end comments. Consider using quotes around argument: "#-1"
Syntax error on line 564 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Regular expression could not be compiled.
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
[root@localhost apache]#

What do I do now?

[tsunam]

actually you should be starting /etc/init.d/apache start -.-;;

If you still get error messages give us what it says exactly after that init.d/apache(might be apache2) start. At that point its most likely a config problem.

It tells me no folder exists And I am using apache 1.3.33 should I get a diff one?

Maybe the error is spelled out in the text you have...

Syntax error on line 564 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

Check that line for a syntax error in a end of line comment and get back with us.


As for other programs:
Web Language - PHP
FTP - ProFTP
DNS - Bind9
Database - MySQL or Postgres
Mail - Postfix (although lots of people seem to like qmail)
Firewall - IPTables (you can try out shorewall package for help writing rules)

Other useful tools:
rsync
Samba
cups

That's the base of my servers here at least.
