Hi -

If you're seeing a 404 error, this means that the server is responding 
properly.  Please take Evan's advice, and read up a bit on DocumentRoot:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#documentroot

Your server is working.  Rather than firing out suggestions blindly to 
your question, as the answers differ for being site-specific, if you 
read that bit of documentation right there you should be well on your way.

Thanks!
