[users@httpd] Need assitance with configuring apache2 to allow access to website files
Hi,
I am new to apache and need some help.
I have apache2 on linux which installed apache for me during the
linux installation. I am trying to configure it so that my other
computers on my network can access the files from the server. (exact
version of the server is: This site is powered by:
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.48 (Mandrake Linux/6mdk)
mod_perl/1.99_11 Perl/v5.8.3 mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c PHP/4.3.4!)
I would like to do the following:
#1: Allow users on another computer on the network to use a name
instead of the ip address to access the server ... i.e on the windows
based test server we can use http://cloak-dagger/ to access my website
files from within my network
#2: Allow it so that I can change "default files" for each site (sub directory
Can anyone please help me with this?
Also, if anyone knows of a _good _ tutorial for Apache2 could you
plesae let me know.
Note: if I

The My Computer Preperties does it for Windows and uses Net-bios for the
name propagation.
Your Win system can see the Linux box if you have Samba running on it....
Samba config details would be off-topic.
Else you might want to check how to map IP -> hostname on Win - on Linux
it is done by /etc/hosts.

I know that I am able to give the computer a name under "My Computer
Properties" in windows, how is this possible under Linux?
Also, which file is the Directory Directive located in?
