Hello,
I am new on this mailing list and I hope to find an answer on my
apache2 configuration problem.
My OS : Linux openSUSE 15.2 64 bit
Apache : apache2 2.4.33 standard install
browser url : local host --> It works!
I try to use apache as a echo server for telnet.
reading https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_echo.html
"It provides a simple echo server. Telnet to it and type stuff, and
it will echo it."
What I did : # a2enmod echo
# apache2ctl -M --> see : echo_module (shared)
# edit /etc/apache2/global.conf --> add : ProtocolEcho On
# apache2ctl restart
Test:
# telnet localhost --> connection refused
# telnet localhost 80 --> ... <h1>Bad request!</h1> ...
The firewall is disabled.
Reading the manual and google I am not able to correctly configure this.
Can you assist me or give a hint?
Anthony
Hi
just tested locally and it works as expected with:
telnet localhost 80
When ProtocolEcho is not defined, I get the bad request you get.
What system are you running?
What httpd version are you using?
Base on https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout, using
/etc/apache2/global.conf looks unusual.
Are you sure that it is loaded?
(an easy way to check is to write a bogus directive (ProtocolEchoXXXXX
On) and check if apache2ctl restart works or not)

Dear Cristophe,
thanks for your answer, it was spot-on. I use openSUSE 15.2 which uses
systemd to initialize. In the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is mentioned
that loadmodule.conf and global.conf are not loaded in systems started
via systemd. Putting the command 'ProtocolEcho On' in httpd.conf gave me
the expected behaviour. Thanks.
Anthony
