Hi, I am fairly new to apache. I just installed it from the repositories on my Ubuntu 10.04 notebook so I will assume that it is the latest version (not even sure how to check that).
I made a change to the default site in /etc/apache2/sites-available to change the path for the default site to point to /home/documents/me/Documents/sites/mysite/. When I just had index.html in there, it worked fine after I restarted the server. Perhaps I should state that I changed the permissions on the sites folder to allow everyone to change files there. This is a single user development machine and I needed to do that for my Joomla install (next step). I then downloaded and installed Joomla 1.6. When I go to localhost now, apache thinks I am trying to download a file. The name of the file does not display and it identifies it as a "phtml" file. I realized I did not have php so I installed php. phpinfo() proves that it is installed but going to localhost still will not access the index.php as the default page and keep trying to download something. When I specify http://localhost/index.php, everything works fine. I tried adding a DocumentIndex directive to httpd.conf and that didn't work. I even tried adding the documentindex directive to apache2.conf and that did not work. And yes, I restarted the server after each change. Any ideas would be great appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
