the default document root is /var/www If you are setting up apache from scratch, I'd use the default as it avoids much hassle w/ suexec. If you want to use a different default docroot you need to recompile suexec For our approach see: http://csl.ltc.org/sys/project.d/suexec.d/install.txt ############ On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Anand Atreya wrote: > Hi, > > I have just recently begun using Debian and am in the process of > migrating a FreeBSD 4.4 server over to it.
