Hi all!
I would like to run Apache on my Amiga (1200, 68040, OS 3.1) but I run into a puzzling problem: I always get the error message "httpd: bad user name www" when running "httpd" (from either binary archives that I found on Aminet 1.3.12 or 1.3.41). What is it that I am doing wrong?
I also tried to hook Apache to Miami as described on http://www.xs4all.nl/~albertv/apache/manual/amiga/FAQ.html#Using%20Apache%20with%20Miami but then when I access "localhost" in IBrowse, IBrowse just keeps waiting for an answer from the Web server forever.
Please, could somebody help me?
Thank in advance!

Holy crap, I haven't played with Apache on Amiga for quite some time. If you followed the section to-the-letter, chances are you did not create a user named "www". You can do one of two things: create a user in Miami named "www", or edit the httpd.conf file, look for the Username directive and change its value to whatever user you created in Miami.

Hi LoadWB!
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately, I did created a user "ww" in the Users section of the Databases as well as its group in the Groups section... I will keep investigating and keep you posted...
Any other idea/advice?
Take care!

Hi LoadWB!
I just give Apache another try and got it to work! I am using Apache v1.3.41 from Aminet. It seems that my problem came from the IXEmul.library: I had a file "ENVARC:IXEmul.prefs" that seems to have led to problems, which Apache reported as "Bad user name www"... So so error reporting but it works after removing this file! :)
Take care!
