setup  httpd on fc18
. starting fc18, new conf.modules.d is created to host all LoadModule
directives with nn-<config>.conf file convention to which set of modules to be
loaded first. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ApacheHTTPModules


set up http on fc16

on FC16 with SELINUX on

1. Need to set UserDir public_html and /home/*/public_html in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf properly.
2. Need to setsebool httpd_enable_homedirs true
3. Start httpd "service httpd start"
4. Enable access through firewall: "lokkit -p 80:tcp"
5. chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t ~$login\/public_html

When the upload.php gets "Possible file upload attack"  or cannot create
directory on /var/www/html directory, it could be
caused by SELINUX.  You can change the context

chcon -R -t public_content_rw_t /var/www
setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write 1
setsebool -P allow_httpd_anon_write 1

For suphp, you should change /etc/suphp.conf line 34
umask=0077 to unask=0022
if you want the directory to be read by apache or others.

Problem encounter when setup httpd on fc14,

Got (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 
It is caused by duplicated Listen directive declaration.  See the following web page.  

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/98-address-already-in-use-make_sock-could-not-bind-to-address-0-0-0-0-443-a-110753/

I had this problem too. It turned out that i had the "Listen 80" directive in two config files:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf

The latter comes from the Fedora Core system configurator for httpd. Removing "Listen 80" from httpd.conf solved the problem. I tried the above descriptions but I had noone listening on port 80 which got me confused.
