Using apache 1.1.3-6. The apache httpd is currently installed and running on my system (kernel 2.0.30). However, only the default files will show up. No matter what I do, I can't get apache to serve my files. The documentation which comes with the distribution pops up when you point your web browser to your own machine. This documentation states that the default document root is set to /home/www-data/webspace. This is in error. No such directory was created by the installation process.
I then created this directory and populated it with files including index.html. The directory structure below /home/www-data was chowned to user www-data group root. This has no effect. So, after trying a number of obvious things, I'm hoping that someone can tell me the secret to working this distribution. And more broadly speaking, it seems that the documentation actually needed to run apache was not included in the distribution. I'm still wading through the apache site for information, but, it appears that this distribution is different in many ways than the default apache distribution. I'm really disappointed in this package maintainer's idea of user friendly. It's one thing to save time during installation and another thing to waste scads of time during setup when all the information you need just isn't there and the package doesn't behave as advertized. I would like to keep this package just to maintain debian compatability, however, I bet I could compile and setup apache from scratch faster than pluggin around with this package. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
