Hello: Perhaps someone can shed some light on what this problem is, or at least a 'correct' way to get around it. System configuration: Clean install of RH9, with ALL the options, Apache 2.0.53. Pretty much running system 'as installed'. Modified the /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf to reflect server root ("/usr/local/apache2"), listen on my ip.address:80, and document root (<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">). Placed my web files in htdocs, and it was working fine for a couple of months. Shut system down (complete power down), rebooted, restarted httpd...now, it starts displaying the Apache "Test Page"...which tells me: 'If you have upgraded from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and earlier, then you are seeing this page because the default DocumentRoot set in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf has changed.' Well, I didn't upgrade from RH 6.2...it was a clean install of RH9. So, I go to /etc/httpd/conf/ and look at httpd.conf and sure enough, it has a different path for htdocs (/etc/httpd/htdocs), and I verify that it is loading the index "test page" from this directory. It was not before the power down, so what happened? how to fix? Also, why the two different locations? (e.g. /etc/...and /usr/local...) The /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is read only, but it could be changed to point to the intended htdocs (/usr/local/apache2/htdocs) where I have my webpages...but, it seems that I should not have to. It also seems that this is NOT the right place to change the pointer...None of the Apache 2.0 docs that I have read say anything about this. I tried to start the server with: apachectl -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd. saying "line 350, word is mis-typed or used out of order"...( I haven't changed this file from the first time I used it. Also, I dont know if this file is accessed if I just typed in: apachectl start. I thought about replacing my current http.config file with the one from /etc/httpd/conf, and modifying that (as I did the original) and see what happens. I did a visual comparison of the two and except for the changes, are seemingly identicle. So, I thought I'd post the question here since I am an Apache newbi. Any suggestions as to what might have changed, or, a way to get around this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... John |
