Check in the apache conf file for the DocumentRoot directive, that's the root dir for apache's files.
$ grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs You can either change this for what suits you or move your file there. I would go for the second option. Add yourself to the apache group and chmod 2775 the dir, so you can work in a more convenient way. I don't think you need virtual hosting, it's only if you want to serve different pages depending on the server name in the HTTP directive and so you need to have multiple domain names pointing at your box. (or add them to /etc/hosts and access them in local). finally the docs from the apache's website can answer to all your question: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ hth > Hi, > I've never done anything with Apache, but would like to get to know a > bit more about how to configure it.
