I'm fairly new to Linux and to Apache, (and I'm on this expert list instead
of the 'newbie' list because I'm beyond installation and partioning
questions)... I have two questions that hopefully somebody can answer for
me...

If I'm logged in as a regular user, and type 'lynx localhost', it brings up
the appropriate pages from the htdocs directory Apache is set to.  However,
if I'm logged in as root and type 'lynx localhost', I get a directory
listing of the / partition.  Anybody know what I've screwed up here?

Also, if there a way to have a file created by root be editable by a user,
or actually by any user?  While testing a new installation of PHP, as root,
I created a test file, but then later wanted to make some changes to it as a
regular user.  I t wasn't a secure file, but the ownership of it kept
screwing me up.  I could change the ownership of it to that regular user,
but then other users wouldn't be able to use it (and I need multiple users
to access it since we're all learning this thing together on my
computer...).  I've tried assiging the users to the same group, and then
changing the group permissions for that file, but I guess I'm missing
something there...

Perhaps I should go back to the 'newbie' list :^)
