apache on UNIX

timmeke · 01-13-2006, 10:20 AM

Small "rule of thumb":
system configs, especially those from daemons like httpd/apache, should go in /etc somewhere.
user programs and settings, go in /usr, /usr/local and stuff
system programs go to /bin or /sbin
/proc is for kernel info
/var is run time info (like pid files, spools, logs, etc)

But of course, you can set up your machine anyway you like.

The httpd.conf is located in the /etc/httpd/conf directory.

ok, you're still having problems?

cashton2k · 01-13-2006, 01:15 PM

yeah i still can get apache to show the latest versions of my html files

bosewicht · 01-13-2006, 01:29 PM

are you editing the correct index file? Isn't it in /var/www/html/ ? see if you have a index.html in there.

cashton2k · 01-13-2006, 04:21 PM

yeah it displays the first version of the file I made (index.htm) but not the edited version

bosewicht · 01-13-2006, 04:23 PM

then try
mv /var/www/html/index.htm /var/www/html/index.htm.backup

Then refresh your browser on your page

the index.htm is the one you don't want, correct?
