40.2.2 Configuring Apache with YaST
To configure your Web server with YaST, start YaST and select Network Services >
HTTP Server. When starting the module for the first time, the HTTP Server Wizard
starts, prompting you to make just a few basic decisions concerning administration of
the server. After having finished the wizard, the dialog in Section "HTTP Server Con-
figuration" (page 759) starts every time you call the HTTP Server module.
HTTP Server Wizard
The HTTP Server Wizard consists of five steps. In the last step of the dialog, you are
given the opportunity to enter the expert configuration mode to make even more specific
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 Firewall for Selected Ports to open the ports in the firewall 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 situations where no external access to the Web server is necessary.
Click Next to continue with configuration.
Modules
The Modules configuration option allows for the activation or deactivation of the script
languages, the web server should support. For the activation or deactivation of other
modules, refer to Section "Server Modules" (page 760). Click Next to advance to the
next dialog.
