Should I switch to Red Hat 8.0, where there seems to be more "help" traffic. The above error does not appear in any message lists I've scanned, but then I only look at the last 200 messages if my list search fails to get hits. There are very few list messages for SuSE. Q1. As a novice What can I do to get Apache started on SuSE 8.0? Q2. Should I switch to Red Hat Pro 8.0, and will thier install of the programs "Mysql, PHP, and Apache", work? Thanks for your patience.
