I have the newest version of linux mandrake.
I let the install, install my web server.
I have searched many documents . They say that this setup is for security.
But they dont say how to copy the files into the appropriate directory.
I have gotten many suggestions and none of them have worked. the only
suggestion I have not tried is a symbolic link.
I dont know how to do this.
I can post the Apache config later ( I am using my windows98 box for email)
If you know what lines I need to change please let me know.
ip address is a 192.168.0.2 traffic is redirected by my firewall.
I can see the server fine. I can't upload my new web pages it is still the
default pages.
thanks
