Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.2
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Kernel: Version 2.4.4

Symptom

The local support database can't get activated on localhost, but it's possible to use the SuSE Help with the browser konqueror.

Cause

The apache webserver isn't installed in case of a standard installation. The start process of SuSE Linux e.g. will be accelerated.

Solution

Please use the KDE Help Center. The local support database is also integrated in the KDE Help Center. You can get access to the local support database with the menu SuSE Help in the K menu of KDE.

Only for experts ( Please notice that we can't grant free installation support for such a configuration. )

In order to use the local support database with a different browser, you need to install the package 'apache'. It's included in the serie 'n' and needs to be configured.

The parameter 'START_HTTPD' in the '/etc/rc.config' file should be activated, as well as the integration of the previous SuSE Help File '/usr/share/doc/packages/mod_php4/test.php' in the 'DocumentRoot' of the webserver by the customization of the 'httpd.conf', should be conducted.
