Ok, I've got apache running, phpmyadmin, and I know how to use my /srv/www/htdocs folder to host websites on my machine. However, what I can't figure out, is how to use my public_html folder to host a website. That's what I'm trying to acheive. I'm not using it for the web, just localhost so that I can test changes to my real site hosted elsewhere. I want to try new themes and what not for MdPro, but don't want to do it "live." I want to test them on my machine so I can make sure it's all good.
I know I can just use the /srv/www/htdocs folder (/srv/www/htdocs/mdpro), but I would really prefer to use the /home/tom/public_html, since it's there, and I don't have to worry about changing folder permissions in order to make changes since it's in my home folder.
So basically, rather than set it up to
http://localhost/mdpro, I wish to use
http://localhost/tom. See what I'm sayin?
Oh, forgot to mention I'm using Suse 10.0 release version under KDE 3.5.
What is the step I'm missing here? Thanx!
