Apache won't accept incoming requests

I set-up a test wiki on my home server. I wanted to test it with a friend,
but he was unavailable last week. I went to poke a hole in the external
firewall today, but tested the Wiki first...

Apache is refusing connections. I checked the configuration and it seems OK,
but when I try and restart Apache in YaST, it says "cannot adjust apache2
service".

It looks like it went down on the 19th and hasn't been running since...
While I've been busy on other things, I haven't tried to access apache
since... The only entries in the log file are as follows:

[Mon Jan 17 23:07:23 2005] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Tue Jan 18 08:24:02 2005] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured

(SuSE 9.2, Apache 2, SuSE Firewall disabled)

run the following as root and see what happens.

apache2ctl start

If it doesn't say anything then it started fine. Check if it's running
with
ps ax | grep httpd

If it's running then you may have it running on a different port than
the one your trying to connect to.

Hi David
if you have SELinux security running it may be causing the problems,
to check it, go to "System settings"--> "security Level"-->At this
point check if the etho card is trusted, if not ticked tick it and try
the webpage,
if it not work, continue and try to continue with the following,
click tab "SELinux"--> click the arrow next to "transition", and click
the box for -->"Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon", this is
not such a good idea as it can create a security hole, but try it, and
if you work out how to configure it let us know,
good luck
Andrew
