Suppose you are user pal in your machine, which has ip 123.456.78.99 Then, ~/public_html/ means /home/pal/public_html Which is accessed from the internet by pointing at http://123.456.78.99/~pal/ and /var/www/ is where you put the what you want visible by pinting at your ip alone, that is http://123.456.78.99/myfile.html is located in /var/www/myfile.html This is the standard in debian machines (and unix in general, or close to it). The settings can be modified by making changes in the configuration files of apache. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
