Hi I am a newbie.
I installed Red-Hat 7.1.
I am trying to figure out how to start
A) Telnet Server
B) Apache Server
C) ProFTP Server
Could you please advise me on how to start these?

I had RedHat 6.2 once and it automatically started them.

Please help.

if you installed apache it probably did start automatically
if you open a browser and type in localhost or 127.0.0.1
it will show the apache installation default page if apache is running

Run this command:

netstat -autv


The output will give you a listing of all services listening to ports on your machine, complete with port numbers. Take a minute to correlate those ports with the appropriate services, eg. '80' for http (apache), '23' for telnet, so on and so forth. Knowing RH, more than likely all of these are enabled upon install; I'm not certain if ProFTPD is part of RH's install now, you may have to grab an RPM from somewhere and install by hand.

As fobot suggested, try to connect to your own machine; you can telnet and ftp to 127.0.0.1 and also open your browser up with the localhost address.

it didn't have port 80 or 23 listed.
Please just tell me the command to start these processes.

First, you don't need to be running telnet. Run SSH insted. Get it from http://www.openssh.com If you really want to run telnet, you need to start the process in /etc/xinetd.conf
