Hi
I am really a newbie to apache. I have configured apache and it is running fine. I say http://servername,it works.My curiousity is,I want to set my intranet.
so If I type http://intranet.mycompany.com I should be able to browse thru the files. Where should I change the server name to intranet.mycompany.com, is it in httpd.conf or where should I do the changes.

there is a ServerName section in httpd.conf which you can change if you want, you will also need to update your DNS to point to the server when its addressed as http://intranet...

You might want to look into using VirtualHosts, have a look at the bottom of httpd.conf - there is an example config. VirualHosts allow you to have multiple sites hosted on one server, this might be useful if you want the site to respond differently when you call if by a different name.

PS Remember to restart Apache after chaing httpd.conf! (assuming your installed to /var/lib/apache) /var/lib/apache/sbin/apachectl restart
