Include conf/commonhttpd.conf Include conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf #Include conf/vhosts/DynamicVhosts.conf #Include conf/vhosts/VirtualHomePages.conf Include conf/addon-modules/php.conf Include conf/ssl/mod_ssl.conf Include conf/ssl/ssl.default-vhost.conf i didnt mean the DocumentRoot entry should *only* be on commonhttpd.conf, you can find that too on Vhosts.conf if you have other virtual hosts. what i am only trying to point out is ... for this RH layout apache, the GlobalSettings which include DocumentRoot for the main webserver is usually on commonhttpd.conf. > I, also, > was less than accurate in making a statement that > read as though both > files must have DocumentRoot specified. In fact, > commonhttpd.conf > clearly reads "DO NOT MODIFY THIS ONE, USE > httpd.conf" for the > DocumentRoot entry. actually the "do not modify" thing is on the httpd.conf on this mdk version of apache on 8.1 [root@dm conf]# head httpd.conf ### Main Configuration Section ### You really shouldn't change these settings unless you're a guru ### ServerType standalone ServerRoot /etc/httpd #ServerName localhost #LockFile /etc/httpd/httpd.lock PidFile /var/run/httpd.pid ScoreBoardFile /etc/httpd/httpd.scoreboard ErrorLog logs/error_log > Thanks for your edification on this issue... tee hee :-) these kinds of info need to be cleared. if im wrong, id gladly want to be corrected. that way, i learn too. cheers, dianne > > -- > J.
