Apache can easily be set up with the help of YaST, but some knowledge about the subject is needed to set up a Web server this way. After selecting ‘Network Services’+‘HTTP Server’ in the YaST control center, you may be prompted for the installation of some packages that are still missing. As soon as everything is installed, YaST displays the configuration dialog (‘HTTP Server Configuration’).

In this dialog, first enable the ‘HTTP service’ itself. This also opens the corresponding ports (port 80) in the firewall (‘Open Firewall on Selected Ports’). The lower part of the window (‘Settings/Summary’) allows setting up the local HTTP server: ‘Listen to’ (default is port 80), ‘modules’, ‘Default Host’, and ‘Hosts’. ‘Edit’ allows changing the currently selected setting.

First check the ‘Default Host’ and, if necessary, adjust the configuration to your requirements. Then, activate the desired modules with ‘Modules’. There are additional dialogs for more detailed configuration, especially for the creation of virtual hosts.
