Afternoon All,

I'm back on the enabling external access to .net systems and configuring a proxy.


Apache2 on Linux


how can I find the version of apache2 ?

On normal apache, it's httpd -v

but this apache2 doesn't seem to have a bin directory, or a httpd file


Anyone got any ideas please

Thanks,

Milan.

milan,

You have been posting on CUK for several millenia now, as you have reminded us in the past. Has it not dawned on you yet that there is a specific forum for technical questions?

FAQQ

[Cliphead]

httpd should be in

/usr/sbin

but depends on the distro.

Are any logs files present? Is it running?

The conf file should be here;

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

[TheFaQQer]

Telnet to the server and type

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

Don't know why you don't have a bin directory, though - I would expect it to be in /usr/local/apache if you can't find it elsewhere.

What does

ps -ef | grep httpd

tell you - that should tell you where the httpd file is running from.

Try apachectl status or apachectl fullstatus not sure if it reports the version tho...

[darmstadt]

From root:

/usr/local/apache/conf apache2 -v

Why not just type a wrong address in.

The server will give you the version number in the 404 page it sends back if you've no custom 404 page.

which httpd at the command prompt should give you the path to the executable.
