MySQL and Apache continued:

I have made progress and think I have been able to create a basic
database and get the web server running.
To clarify, I am installing and setting up a client/server configuration
on my HomePC (localhost).
And to not leave out any details about "messing around with apache's
configuration", I will add to the story for those who have time to read
it. Others can jump down to paragraph 6).

1) Initial I had Apache2, MySQL, php installed default with YaST2 from
the Suse 9.1Pro media. However, but had not used these applications or
enabled the http server.

2) Later I installed a tar ball for eZ publish bundled with Apache 1.3,
MySQL, PHP and ImageMagic, which was installed in a temporary test
directory according to:
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/installation/bundled_installation
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/installation/bundled_installation/ez_publish_bundle_for_linuxunix_based_systems
I enabled the http service and added port 8085 with Yast2, but didn't
get the eZ publish bundle to work.

3) Then I removed the eZ publish bundle and removed and reinstalled with
Yast2 the original rpms for MySQL, Apache2, PHP and ImageMagic, to start
try a normal installations of eZ publish "alone" from schratch.
And this is where I started this thread.

I tried several times to test the web server to get it to display the
Apache Installation test page, but
http://localhost would not work. However, adding a port number like the
previous http://localhost:8085 did work.

4) To be sure to start on a clean installation, I have now also removed
/etc/Apache2 configuration folder, disabled the http service with Yast2
and removed and reinstalled the packages another time. Tested with
http://localhost and http://localhost:8080 which didn't work, neither
before I enabled the http server nor after I enabled the http server.

5) Then I added port 8080 to the http server with yast2. Now
http://localhost still didn't work while http://localhost:8080 did
display the Apache page.

6) At last I happened to try "http://localhost:80" and suddenly
some(thing) (re)setting happened. Mozilla automatically changed this url
automatically to "http://localhost" and displayed the Apace test page.
After this also the latter url did work in Opera and Konqueror. Also the
eZ publish setup wizard in my personal web-folder starts using
http://localhost/~/ezp

Now also the eZ publish setup wizard is started and displayed as it
should, without the previous need to add port number in these
alternative urls:
http://localhost/~terje/ezp/index.php
<http://localhost/%7Eterje/ezp/index.php>
http://localhost/~terje/ezp <http://localhost/%7Eterje/ezp>

 From this experience it may look like the url "http://localhost"
doesn't work at once, not at least when another port number has been
used in the browser previously.

Any idea or suggestion how and where to set "http://localhost" to work
directly?

I had some problems to find and verify the right entries in the long
file /etc/services. I just wonder if port setting using the Yast2 http
service tools, also updates both /etc/Apache2/listen.conf and
/etc/services?
