Can anymone help me..im trying to view my httpd.conf file by

/etc/httpd/http.conf

and i am the root (root#)

but it is telling me i dont have access; permission denied

How can i fix this.

Maybe the editor you're using doesn't have +x permissions.

You need to use an editor like vi or pico to view the file.

vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Hy,

another way to view the contents of a file is to make a

cat /etc/httpd/httpd.conf | more

This will show you the httpd.conf file (if it exists) page by page.

Greetings
Oliver

Why you'd want to do that, I don't know; a simple
more /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
works just as well.

Yes, but:

less /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

works better! :-)

It's correct that on a standard FreeBSD more is the same as less. The program is called less however.

But I do not think the person who asked the original question stated, that he was on FreeBSD - he just said BSD in general.

So - remember the slogan - less is more - more is less... on FreeBSD!

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!:cool: all the commands worked!

New Question :unhappy:

how do I enable telenet...i try to telenet it

telenet (myserversipaddress) 3306

and it refuses my connection!

Thank You!

You're quite right. I should have added that the same applies to OpenBSD and NetBSD. This is not the case in 4.4-BSD, however, since the concept of "less" had not yet been invented.

But at least for all open source BSDs currently in normal usage, (more==less)&&(less==more).

Did you mean telnet or some other program?

sorry...telnet. Thanks :-)

I'm not sure why you'd want to enable telnet, since ssh is a much better alternative.

If you're using FreeBSD (I'm not sure about other *BSD's), you can just edit /etc/inetd.conf and remove the # in front of the telnet service line. Then just restart inetd.

Also, why are you trying to telnet on port 3306? The standard telnet port is 23.

that command didn't work, but thanks anyway.....i know 23 is the telnet port but I have to access a certain function that is at port 3306..thanks :)

dont use telnet, you are setting yourself up for a hackattack. use ssh like suggested above.

He wasn't trying to use telnet. He was trying to use mysql.

I am just wondering.....

how did httpd.conf get to /etc/ ?
Isn't BSD supposed to put all the other stuff into /usr/local ?

are you sure your httpd.conf is in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf ?

Try
cat /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

Sorry I am probably completely off here and maybe you did install apache manually into / instead of /usr/local

This is not a wise idea tho.... it breaks the beauty of BSD's hierarchical arrangements

Im not using BSD..Im Using Darwin! :)

If you are telnetting to a special application listening on port 3306, then you are not telnetting to your telnet daemon, so telnet is not what you should be enabling. Since you are trying to connect from another machine, you should check to make sure that the application is listening on the global interface, and not the localhost interface. If you have telnet access to the machine (obviously since you mentioned earlier in the thread you are root), try telnetting to the port at localhost (ie: telnet localhost 3306). See if that works a little better, if it doesn't then check your firewall rules, perhaps you are blocking inbound TCP on port 3306..though I can't imagine why that would be a default rule. Also check to make sure the application is in fact running, and has opened a listen socket on the correct port - you can view this in netstat.
