I think based on your previous postings that you may find that the name for the apache account is www-data. On Ubuntu it is set to an ID number of 33:33. How much of the system is running? I can't speak to your distro, but with Ubuntu, all of the log files are put in place when Synaptic installs Apache. After Apache is on place I, since I am working on a workstation, can then go http://localhost and verify that apache is working. If all else is in place I am pretty sure you can access the same thing by browsing to the server's IP address. Is that page available to you? If not PHP , MySQP and wiki will give you the 404 error. On my system the web data directory is named /var/www if you called it something else, such as www-data as indicated earlier, you will have to tell apache what the name is in the config file. Hope that is of service Harold -----Original Message----- From: Bryan O'Neal Reply-To: Main PLUG discussion list To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: RE: Fwd: Wiki/Apache Issues Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:44:44 -0700 Make sure the user apache has access to write those logs, perhaps even (as root) chown apache:apache /var/log/html -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Craig White Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:30 PM To: gm5729@gmail.com; Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Fwd: Wiki/Apache Issues On Wed, 2008-08-13 at 13:22 -0700, GK wrote: > 0 root@shuttle: /var/log/apache2/httpd > Wed Aug 13, 13:18 # cat error_log > [Tue Aug 12 20:48:04 2008] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not > open transfer log file /var/log/httpd/access_log. > Unable to open logs > [Tue Aug 12 20:48:53 2008] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not > open transfer log file /var/log/httpd/access_log. > Unable to open logs > [Tue Aug 12 20:48:59 2008] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not > open transfer log file /var/log/httpd/access_log. > Unable to open logs > [Tue Aug 12 20:49:43 2008] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not > open transfer log file /var/log/httpd/access_log. > Unable to open logs > > ::1 - - > [13/Aug/2008:12:42:34 -0700] "GET /phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.css.php?token=efdb69e927969d4aa88deed0aaedf75a&js _frame=right&nocache=3650775686 > HTTP/1.1" 200 20584 "http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/" "Mozilla/5.0 > (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like Gecko) (Debian)" > ::1 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:43:54 -0700] "GET /TWiki-4.2.2/bin/view HTTP/1.1" 404 > 218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like > Gecko) (Debian)" > 85.190.0.3 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:45:45 -0700] "CONNECT 213.92.8.7:31204 > HTTP/1.0" 405 225 "-" "-" > ::1 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:54:05 -0700] "GET /TWiki-4.2.2/bin/view HTTP/1.1" 404 > 218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like > Gecko) (Debian)" > 127.0.1.1 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:54:27 -0700] "GET /TWiki-4.2.2/bin/view > HTTP/1.1" 404 218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) > KHTML/3.5.9 (like Gecko) (Debian)" > 127.0.1.1 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:54:27 -0700] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 > 209 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like > Gecko) (Debian)" > ::1 - - [13/Aug/2008:12:54:38 -0700] "GET /TWiki-4.2.2/bin/view HTTP/1.1" 404 > 218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like > Gecko) (Debian)" ---- as root... mkdir /var/log/httpd restart apache Craig --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
