Re: Apache Confusion?!?!

Donald,

 

When you modify the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf you must restart the server using /etc/init.d/httpd restart or service httpd restart.  Also, due to the fact that there are no files in the /var/www/html directory, the server is issuing the default page listed in the httpd.conf file exactly the way it's supposed to......see below.

 

 

<LocationMatch "^/$>
    Options -Indexes
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>

 

You may also see the other error documents listed in the httpd.conf  (Enjoy)

Subject: Apache Confusion?!?!

Hi,

 

I have been running Apache on Windows & MacOSX for a  while now with no problems. But I am having real problems on RedHat Linux 9.

 

I have the apache server up and running. But any changes I make with the HTTP Server program in Server Settings don?t seem to affect Apache at all.

 

I did a search for the httpd.conf file, There was only one found but it doesn?t seem to be the actually file Apache is using. The reason I say this is because it says my web directory is /var/www/html/ BUT there are no files in that directory. When I log onto localhost in a web browser I get the typical Apache welcome page, so this directory cant be the one Apache is really using.

 

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I know it?s a little vague but I have no idea what?s happening.

 

Please help, I am going insane.

 

Donald
