40.1.2 Installation
Apache on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is not installed by default. To install it, start
YaST and select Software > Software Management. Now choose Filter > Patterns and
select Web and LAMP Server under Primary Functions. Confirm the installation of the
dependent packages to finish the installation process.
Apache is installed with a standard, predefined configuration that runs "out of the box".
The installation includes the multiprocessing module apache2-prefork as well
the PHP5 module. Refer to

40.1.3 Start
To start Apache and make sure that it is automatically started during boot, start YaST

system is configured to automatically start Apache in runlevels 3 and 5 during boot.
For more information about the runlevels in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and a de-

Services (Runlevel) with YaST"
To start Apache using the shell, run rcapache2 start. To make sure that Apache
