LinuxQuestions.org - Redirecting Apache2 to Wordpress site by default

Running Ubuntu 8.04 (Desktop) with Apache2 installed from repositories. It was all set up using this HOWTO, except I replaced the name of the blog directory, making it mydomain rather than wordpress. As a consequence, I have to go to http://www.mydomain.com/mydomain in order to view the blog. What I want is to just be able to type in www.mydomain.com and view the blog, without the subdirectory. I've set up a NameVirtualHost with the following configuration:

Code:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        

        DocumentRoot /var/www/mydomain/

        <Directory />

                DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride None

        </Directory>

        <Directory /var/www/mydomain/>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride None

                Order allow,deny

                allow from all

        </Directory>



        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

                AllowOverride None

                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>



        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log



        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.

        LogLevel warn



        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

        ServerSignature On



    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    </Directory>



</VirtualHost>

but all that accomplishes is to give me an index page containing a link to the directory 'mydomain'.

I've tried simply placing the wordpress files and directory structure in www, but that jut makes all the php paths fail and everything on the page is broken. Surely I'm missing something simple here. I've tried creating a link named index.php targeted to the actual wordpress index file, which sort of works; I can type www.mydomain.com into the address box, though apache still redirects to http://www.domain.com/domain which looks kind of silly. There must be some way to accomplish this.
