Hi all,
I just installed Apache2 and when I enter http://localhost in my browser it shows me the apache page, so installation was succesfull. To which directory does http://localhost point? In other words, where do I load my webpages so i can use PHP locally on my PC?
I installed with the regular RPM's from de Mandrake (9.1) cd's.

All yer web stuff lives in /var/www
...if you browse through that directory you'll find
[EMAIL PROTECTED] www]$ ls -CFal total 9 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 168 Aug 27 22:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 536 Aug 27 23:27 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 Aug 27 22:56 cgi-bin/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Aug 27 22:56 error/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 208 Aug 27 22:56 html/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4952 Aug 27 22:56 icons/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 152 Aug 27 22:59 perl/
So...whatever you want to start digging into - well, it's there...the obvious place to start would be in the html directory...
Here's a hint, though, mate...if you're just playing around and testing, why not create subdirectories off like:
/var/www/html/test/mysite01 /var/www/html/test/mysite02
...and so on - this gives you the ability to maintain some semblance of order and neatness in the /var/www/html directory - and you can very easily delete your failures without affecting anything else...ay?
You can also place files in your home directory to be served by Apache. Create a directory called "pubic_html" in your home directory and start adding files. You don't even need root access to do this.
You can then view those file by going to http://localhost/~yourhomedirectoryname/
Have fun.
