Apache 2 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.

In this dialog, first enable the HTTP service itself, which requires setting the following three options: ‘Server Name’, ‘Server Administrator E-Mail’, and ‘Listen on’. The last option is already set to the default of port 80. You can then use ‘Add’ to set further options. Selecting ‘Edit’ enables changing the value of the highlighted option. Selecting ‘Delete’ allows removing it completely.

With ‘Advanced’, view the logs (‘Show Access Log’ and ‘Show Error Log’) or specify the ‘Server Modules’ to load. The latter opens a dialog in which to enable or disable modules by selecting ‘Toggle Status’ and add modules by selecting ‘Add Module’.
