[users@httpd] Apache configuration problem
Hi
I am using Debian Sarge and have installed apache2.
When I access my webpage on the debian server it defaults to
http://www.myserver.com/apache2-default/
The web page is still displayed but the index file has to be in the directory /var/www/apache2-default.
How do I change the configuation so that it reads
http://www.myserver.com/ and the index file is in the directory /var/www?
I have had previous experience with apache and I had to change the apache.conf file (I think) and change the root document setting to point to /var/www and the problem was resolved. This does not seem to be the answer with the new version of apache.
Can anyone help me with my problem?
Tx in advance
Glen

All you should have to do is change the DocumentRoot directive. And
the associated <Directory ...> block. I haven't used Debian, but in
the default httpd.conf for Redhat/Fedora the directives are documented
pretty well.
DocumentRoot /var/www
