Hi Jimmy, I looked up the WEBSERVER_ROOT environment variable in my /etc/apache2/apche2.conf file.
I think the relevant section is this: # Global configuration # # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network) # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available # at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>); # you will save yourself a lot of trouble. # # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # #ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" To which I edited so that, ServerRoot "/var/www" The index.html file you mentioned is located at /var/www/index.html I then restarted apache and got the following: liam@liam-Y500:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [sudo] password for liam: apache2: Syntax error on line 240 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Include directory '/var/www/mods-enabled' not found Action 'configtest' failed. The Apache error log may have more information. ...fail! What is going wrong? If I go to localhost in a web browser I still get "It works!".
