Development Setup on Fedora 16

Install Apache Web Server

yum groupinstall "Web Server"

Apache Configuration

Install graphical interface for Apache configuration

yum install system-config-httpd

System configuration tool then need to be ran as root :

/usr/bin/system-config-httpd

or you can configure Apache server manualy :

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/README

Troubleshooting

On Fedora you can run the following command which should give you the full error message :

/usr/sbin/httpd -t

The -t flag runs a syntax check on the configuration files so if there are any syntax errors there then this should help.
