very newbie Apache question


On RH9 Apache 2.x
I am able to access test page.

Help please,

1. where is test page located?
I checked /var/www...
2 where exactly I have to place my web page.

Weird, but in manual I didn't find this "simple" hint.
Thanks.

Michael.

If you are using the defualt install it should be:
/var/www/html

You can probably find out with:
grep DocumentRoot /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | grep -v "#"

i think by default it goes in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs (if you installed apache in another location go there and find htdocs) and you can change it from /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Test Page is loaded if no HTML file is found in /var/www

Thanks for answer.

My web page is in folder. Do I have to copy all files to /var/www directly? It will be mess with folders in www directory.

By default, the apache configuration file looks in /var/www/html for a file called index.html. So put your page in that directory and call it index.html and you will be good to go. All this stuff is defined in httpd.conf which can be found in /etc/httpd/conf. Take a look at the file and you will see how everything is setup.

Linux is cool with www.linuxquestions.com ))))))

after I took a look to httpd I found test page location

/var/www/error/noindex.html

Now I can fix the problem on it. Link to local documentation doesn't work after default installation of documentation package.
there is error on default test page.
Thanks to all.
