Hi all,
Interestingly, on the LiveCD I tested before my previous posting (Knoppix 3.6) the command
/etc/init.d/apache start
only works if you use it first. That is when the CDROM has first booted up.
If I do
/usr/sbin/apache
first then /etc/init.d/apache start won't work, because apache is already running. The ways to make the
/etc/init.d/apache start
command work seems to me to be to as root:
either
kill all the apache processes that are running. To do this I used the command
ps aux | grep apache
This gives a list.
Then I killed the process running as root with the command
kill 944
The 944 is the process number.
Then check by doing
ps aux | grep apache again.
This time you should not get any processes returned.
/etc/init.d/apache start
should then work.
Alternatively try
/etc/init.d/apache stop
and this should hopefully have the same effect as killing the apache processes.
The command
/usr/sbin/apache stop
will not stop the apache processes from running.

Regarding westcparts

The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file /var/www/phpibf.php
If you are running from the CDROM then you need to open kwrite, or another text editor (vim, emacs, kate and nedit are also included in knoppix), as root for the file to be saved.
To do this as the default user knoppix open a knoppix terminal window. This should give you
knoppix@tty0[knoppix]#
Then type
su followed by [enter]
The terminal should change to
root@tty0[knoppix]#
Then type
kwrite followed by [enter]
This should start kwrite as root and enable you to save the file in the /var/www directory.
When running from a hard disk Knoppix installation you can use ksysv - started as root with the command ksysv followed by [enter]
and this provides a helpful graphical interface. It doesn't work when running from the CDROM however.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Mark
