On fedora, your Apache configuration is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

From the command line, do a:

dig localhost

And see if it comes back to 127.0.0.1. If not, then edit /etc/hosts and add:

127.0.0.1      localhost

Depending on your browser, you might have to clear the cache. Firefox is pretty bad at DNS caching. There is a plugin for Firefox where you can click and clear it.

You can also add VirtualHosts to your httpd.conf. There's examples at the bottom of httpd.conf showing you how. Generally on all Fedora/RHEL/CentOS servers, I usually host everything out of /srv/www, so I have a structure like this:

/srv/www/mysite.com/pubilc_html
/srv/www/mystie.com/logs

That keeps everything nice and separated.

localhost doesn't work.
but 127.0.0.1 works and I get Apache Fedora test page.
locahost should work as it equals to 127.0.0.1


 or "localhost/install.php" as URL?


This also not working.



what is the output of "ls /var/www/html"


Null.
No output.



Where is Drupal installed?

You should place it either in the root directory of the web server, or in a
sub-directory like /var/www/html/drupal-7.4.

Files i moved to /var/www/


nope, has to be in the /var/www/html folder

in /etc you'll find a file called http.conf and in there is a line setting the "document root" that's where the drupal stuff has to be unpacked


Then tell me which document should i follow properly.
In INSTALL.txt also it's not written to move in /var/www/html, it says to move
it to path for installation.
I think I'm not following correct stuff.

D

[chetanpatil@chetanpatil ~]$ ls /var/www/
authorize.php  icons               INSTALL.txt      README.txt   usage
cgi-bin        includes            LICENSE.txt      robots.txt   web.config
CHANGELOG.txt  index.php           MAINTAINERS.txt  scripts      xmlrpc.php
COPYRIGHT.txt  INSTALL.mysql.txt   manual           sites
cron.php       INSTALL.pgsql.txt   misc             themes
error          install.php         modules          update.php
html           INSTALL.sqlite.txt  profiles         UPGRADE.txt
[chetanpatil@chetanpatil ~]$

.htacess  is present too.

i also followed this:: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_install_Drupal



Then it should be available at http://localhost/drupal-7.4. Or in your
case http://127.0.0.1/drupal-7.4.

no effect. i have tried.
do we get this after running the script.


If it is working for the IP but not the hostname perhaps you could try
flushing your browser cache.

In any case, you should preferably add an entry to the hosts file (like
mydrupal, for example) and add a virtualhost entry in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/ and enable it.


/etc/apache not present.


Good luck.
