The apache web server is included with solaris 10. Follow these steps to enable it.

Step 1: Create a working default apache config file

The apache server config files are in /etc/apache2. To quickly get up and running, you can just use the sample config file by doing the following:
cd /etc/apache2 cp httpd.conf-example httpd.conf

Step 2: Enable the apache/httpd service

Check to see if apache is already running:
svcs -a | grep -i http

You will probably see the following, indicating that apache is NOT running:
disabled Apr_20 svc:/network/http:apache2

Use the svcadm command to start the webserver. This will also make it automatically start if your machine reboots.
svcadm -v enable /network/http:apache2

Use the following svcs command to make sure it worked:

svcs -p /network/http:apache2 STATE STIME FMRI online 15:32:44 svc:/network/http:apache2 15:32:44 28711 httpd 15:32:45 28712 httpd 15:32:45 28713 httpd 15:32:45 28714 httpd 15:32:45 28715 httpd 15:32:45 28716 httpd

This is showing that the webserver is online and working.

Step 3: Add your web content

Put your html (IE: index.html) in the /var/apache2/htdocs directory. If everything went OK, you should have a functioning apache webserver.

Debugging / Troubleshooting
If the svcs -p command from the above step doesn't show a STATE of online, do the followig:
svcs -a | grep -i http

You'll probably see that it's in maintenance mode:

maintenance svcs -l http 15:16:12 svc:/network/http:apache2

For more detailed info run: OR

svcs -x http svc:/network/http:apache2 (Apache 2 HTTP server) State: maintenance since May 8, 2007 3:16:12 PM EDT Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS See: httpd(8) See: /var/svc/log/network-http:apache2.log Impact: This service is not running.

Note that the second to last line tells you where the log file is, so take a look at that. Once you've fixed the problem, you can restart apache with:
svcadm restart /network/http:apache2

If for some reason you want to shut off apache, use this:
svcadm disable /network/http:apache2 svcs -p /network/http:apache2 STATE STIME FMRI disabled 15:36:33 svc:/network/http:apache2 svcs -l http fmri name enabled state next_state state_time logfile restarter contract_id dependency dependency (online) dependency (online)
