Apache Problem

carlosinfl · 10-31-2005, 10:58 AM

So apache is working great however my site only contains one page and one image so it's nothing useful as you guys can see.

The problem I have is that when you go to my website address which happens to be http://carlwill.dyndns.org , it then resolves to http://carlwill.dyndns.org/apache2-default/

I know my index file is located under /var/www/apache2-default/ but when I move it to /var/www/index.html , and then restart the httpd service, it will not display my index.html file.

Anyone know how to fix this so it's just under the /var/www/ directory?

I have Apache 1.3.33 on my system, but I assume the config file for Apache 2 is somewhat similar. In your httpd.conf (or equivalent for Apache 2) is there a DocumentRoot setting? Maybe try changing that to /var/www and see if that helps.

I checked my apache2.conf and can't find any document root. Anyone know how to fix this with Apache2?

There are sometimes several conf. files, collected by one of them through include statements. So look through the others, e.g. default-server.conf, httpd.conf etc..

Yes - I have looked and am unable to find anything. I would prefer if someone specifically could tell me where to look and resolve this problem.

Hi,

If you have an old version of Apache, you may have 3 configuration files: httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf and the DocumentRoot should be in srm.conf I think.

This is Apache2 which is not the latest version to my knowledge.

Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) Server

A google for "change apache2 default root" may help you - it brings back the exact answers. I had this problem when I moved to Apache 2. Also, maybe read Apache 2 docs to get a better understanding of the whole service to explain away other little niggly issues like your icons folder from another thread.
