(This assumes Apache 1.3.x )
Inspect Apache's "http.conf" file (at /etc/apache/http.conf in slack) for a line similar to this:

Code:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs"

So /var/www/htdocs will be the location of the pages.
(The ones you are currently able to view should be there)

Per user pages (if your server is so configured) are typically stored in:

Code:

~/public_html

Look for a line in the conf file containing "UserDir" if that doesn't work.

if u r using redhat ur documtt will be probably set to /var/www/html. u can change it to ur choice by editing the conf: file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. now for web pages u must add ur main page in the name 'index.html' in /var/www/html. for creating a web page u need to know xml,html and that sort. restart httpd service. execute 'httpd - t' to see if there are any errors.......
