very newbie Apache question
 
on Red Hat 9 Apache 2...
Can access test page (http:\\10.0.0.50)

Cannot find where is test page located.
Checked /var/www...

1. where is test page?
Do I have to replace it?

2.Where I have to copy my web page files?

Couldn't find any info in documentation about this simple step.

Thanks.
Michael.

All the info and configuration of the Apache web server is in httpd.conf which resides in either:
/etc

or

/etc/apache/

This file contains everything you'll need to know about YOUR system. Take a read through it, and somewhere in there you'll have a variable for the "Document Root"

To find it an easier way, use the command
Code:

cat /etc/apache/httpd.conf | grep DocumentRoot
That'll output the line with DocumentRoot and tell you where the base is for the server.
That's where you'll want all your web pages to go. Alternatively, you can change the DocumentRoot variable to wherever your web pages are now.

Thanks Shade.
I printed httpd.conf
and found DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
So I will drop all my files (with index.html) into it.

About test page. I wanted to find it for fun because the link to Documentation (on local machine) is unfunctional.
I found the problem and want to fix it.
the link is .../manual/index.html
but in manual folder are 2 different index.html files
one index.html.en and second one index.html.fr
I will try to find test page. The problem I don't know file name
and it's not in www subdirectories.
i will try some advices that another people gave me.
Eventually I created two treads about the same "stupid"
issue.

Thanks again.
Michael.

typical installations include /var/www/htdocs/manual/ as the source of documentation.

And yes, you'll have a few index pages for different languages.
It's safe to remove what you don't want/need :)
