I finally managed to get apache running. Can someone help me out with where to put the site files so i can get the site running.

You place your files in whatever directory you have defined in your httpd.conf file.

Take a look at your configuration file, it tells you everything about your server and what directories are being used.

If your using the latest Redhat, sometimes its in /var/www or /var/html or even sometimes in /home/html....

I recently installed apache 1.3, and the default directory was:
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs
This can certainly be changed in the .conf file, and I am not sure if Apache 2.* changed this default location.

i would like to know how to make virtualhost in apache? with the same ip!
do i have to change bind config to add the new pseudo hosts?

WTF

Read the F**king manual. It's all explained in there, you have a copy with your apache install. There's also a great feature for this forum called Search which will return loads of related threads. Also, Google is your friend.
Since you dont say which apache version you have, I'm gunna assume 2.0.xx. Virtual hosts.
And lastly, dont highjack a thread topic(no matter how cr*p it was too), start your own next time after searching and reading.

Lets play nice and always try to refrain from telling newcomers to just RTFM please. If that is going to be your only reply, then don't reply at all. Regards.

To be fair it was a link to the manual, and I did post again to explain more. Point taken though.

what the f*4#@^%k is ur problem ..if u dont wanna answer then don't ..
that's why this this is called LINUXQUESTIONS.org so that ppl can ask...
dont tell me to RTFM.....go f^%%^&^ ur self

Gentlemen (and/or ladies)...let's be helpful rather than rude. That's why we're all here.

At the bottom of the httpd.conf file is a sample VirtualHost for you to view. This should help you somewhat understand it. There is also an extensive section in the manual regarding this question. Check out the Apache HTTPD site for details.

*After* you have learned how to do it manually, to speed up the process I recommend Webmin to ease the creation and administration of VirtualHosts (although I'm sure there are many folks here who would disagree ).

At the very least, you will need

NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerName host.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /path/to/html
</VirtualHost>

There is a mess of other optional directives you can use too.

Hope that helps.

knelsky,

Lets not start any personal attacks, name calling or flames. I already addressed this issue in my first response for members to not just direct other members to RTFM or the like.

Regards.
