HI! First of all, great thing using Apache! Well, you've obviously found the right directory... Unfortunately you're looking at the wrong file! The one to edit is access.conf, in which you define the root-directory. The "Magic Line" is <Directory /home/htdocs> Probably you'll find your line as <Directory /usr/docs/httpd/htdocs> The file should contain some notes on what other things there are available to set. Another thing you might find useful is the neat program (or perl-script) is apacheconfig . Make backups of the config files in /etc/httpd/, access.conf, httpd.conf, srm.conf and mime.types, and then run apacheconfig (as root!). Good luck!

I've been playing with Apache, and it seems that, by default, the "root" directory for the httpd is /usr/docs/httpd/htdocs - in other words, if I type in the name of my Linux machine to a web browser, it opens index.html in that directory by default.
Where is this defined? I have searched everywhere I can think of! I want my web server root directory to be elsewhere: can I define that in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf?
Thanks for any help.
