[users@httpd] Beginning Apache 2 setup

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Linux Centos 4.2 build

Double NATed and behind firewall (lab net), so security too much of 
an issue at this time.

Goal:  set up a directory of files to access by another system.

So I enable user directory, do a chmod 711 /home/user and chmode 755 
/home/user/public_html

And get forbidden access.

What did I do wrong, or better yet where is a GOOD source?  (or even 
a setup script!)

So I try to put files in /var/www/html, while logged in as root.

Create index.html with the sole content of:

hello

and that displays.

So I create directory xx

and localhost/xx does not exist.

So I create file /var/www/html/more.html

and localhost/more.html does not exist.

OK.  Where have I gone wrong?

I have an OLD version of Apache running on NT, but that of course is 
a diffferent setup.

        If you're smart enough to use one of these....
                .....you can probably manage without one!
