If you're using a browser that would mean you need a web server running on
your machine to answer requests. To determine if a web server is runing
on yourt machine use "ps ax | grep httpd" which should yield something
that looks like:
[nathan@fatboy nathan]$ ps ax | grep httpd
657 ? S 0:07 /usr/sbin/httpd -D HAVE_PERL -D HAVE_PHP4 -D HAVE_PRO
4346 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -D HAVE_PERL -D HAVE_PHP4 -D HAVE_PRO
4347 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -D HAVE_PERL -D HAVE_PHP4 -D HAVE_PRO
4348 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -D HAVE_PERL -D HAVE_PHP4 -D HAVE_PRO
4349 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -D HAVE_PERL -D HAVE_PHP4 -D HAVE_PRO
[nathan@fatboy nathan]$
If you don't get that, do the following as root:
"/sbin/service httpd start"
Which will start the apache webserver. If you'd like apache to start
every time you boot linux on your iMac, use the command (again, as root)
"/sbin/chkconfig httpd on" (You can also use the RedHat SysV Runlevel
editor or just manually throw the symlinks into the correct places in
/etc/init.d/*, but chkconfig is probably the easiest and is becoming the
default on RedHat and other RSL based systems.. AFIK, chkconifg is
originally an Irix tool, and frankly the only nice thing about Irix :)
