Re: [newbie] Installation folder for Apache 2 ???
Hello, The question is not Where the site root directory is? The right question is Where the apache configuration file is? That will help anyone to aviod problems like this one just discussed. In configuration file you can find it anytime and config file is IMHO intuitive enought to provide information about site root directory to anyone able to install a system. Folks, config files are your friends, they should be readed immediatelly after the README and man pages of product. : OT NOTE: if somebody is starting to write a php or cgi scripts, it is good to remember that it is dangerous to have scripts in site root directory (as somebody wrote in this streame). Basic scheme: index.php is located and executed in /var/www/html, other scripts are located in /var/www/myphp and executed from index.php. It is little bit more difficult to play with site wrote like this (or to hack it).

[newbie] Installation folder for Apache 2 ???
Gentlemen, I have installed Apache 2 + PHP + mysql with Mandrake linux 10.00. In Apache installation there is a folder called htdocs where we put all data i.e. HTML files, PHP code and other stuff. However I did not see this htdocs folder nor Apache2 installation folder. I tried searching every thing under /. So also if I give http://localhost; on wed browser , the index page of apache is displayed. I am just not understanding where this damn thing has been installed. Can anybody please let me know where I can find this htdocs folder ? Thanks, ~Sujit.. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

/var/www/html In-correct. By default apache2 installs its htdocs/ in the folder where everything else is installed, I.E if when installing apache you do as follows ./configure --prefix=/apache/ your apache will be installed in obviously /apache/ and your htdocs will be in /apache/htdocs/ ! Obviously this can be changed, you just need to edit your httpd.conf file and set the Document_Root= to where you want to put your files, but as is pointed out above, most people put it in /var/www . -- Marc Hultquist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computerkit Systems (Pty) Ltd http://www.cks.co.za (P) +27 11 695 5317 (F) +27 11 312 1408 (C) +27 82 563 2861 Quote: Its a bad idea for geeks to be on low-carb diets.
