Check your httpd.conf file, verify the default document root is /var/www/html (could be something else)

 

Here's a snap of where I put my document root - changed from /var/www/html: (about a third of the way down)

 

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/home/domains">

After you are done reading the httpd.conf file, and find the document root, upload an index.html file there, then:

 

service httpd restart

 

then opening a browser and typing:  localhost

 

should bring up that page.

ok, things are working correctly now.  It's even picking up the .php
extension before the .html, which is what I want. Not sure what part
did it.  The directory was set correctly.  I had 3 httpd.conf files -
httpd.conf httpd.conf.bak httpd.conf.rpmnew

I tried all three to no avail, then I saw your "service httpd restart"
command and that worked, with the httpd.con.rpmnew in place of the
httpd.conf.  I'll try it with the other two and see what happens.

I think I probably hosed it via WEBMIN.  
:-P 


Thanks for everyones' help.  Anyone know of an Apache group or thread
where I can get further help for this type of stuff?
