30.2.3 Conguring Apache with YaST
To congure your Web server with YaST, start YaST and select Network Services >
HTTP Server. When starting the module for the rst time, the HTTP Server Wizard
starts, prompting you to make a few basic decisions concerning administration of the
server. After having nished the wizard, the HTTP Server Conguration dialog starts
each time you call the HTTP Server module. For more information, see Section 30.2.3.2,
“HTTP Server Conguration” (page 506).
30.2.3.1 HTTP Server Wizard
The HTTP Server Wizard consists of ve steps. In the last step of the dialog, you are
given the opportunity to enter the expert conguration mode to make even more specic
settings.
Network Device Selection
Here, specify the network interfaces and ports Apache uses to listen for incoming re-
quests. You can select any combination of existing network interfaces and their respec-
tive IP addresses. Ports from all three ranges (well-known ports, registered ports, and
dynamic or private ports) that are not reserved by other services can be used. The default
setting is to listen on all network interfaces (IP addresses) on port 80.
Check Open Port In Firewall to open the ports in the rewall that the Web server listens
on. This is necessary to make the Web server available on the network, which can be
a LAN, WAN, or the public Internet. Keeping the port closed is only useful in test sit-
uations where no external access to the Web server is necessary. If you have multiple
network interfaces, click Firewall Details... to specify on which interface(s) the port(s)
should be opened.
Click Next to continue with the conguration.
Modules
The Modules conguration option allows for the activation or deactivation of the script
languages that the Web server should support. For the activation or deactivation of
other modules, refer to Section “Server Modules” (page 507). Click Next to advance to
the next dialog.
