 |
|
Hi all...
I'm trying to configure apache which hasn't been that hard so far. I think the only file I need to worry about is /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf. Especially if I'm trying to move the DocumentRoot to a location other than the default of /home/httpd/htdocs. But whenever I change the DocumentRoot to the other directory I get an error:
| Code: | | Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server. |
What's that all about? Is it a directory permissions thing, or is this related to some other config file. I was used to the normal way of using httpd.conf to configure apache, but that seems to have been replaced by apache.conf. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking at here?
Thanks,

You should find something similar to the text below somewhere in httpd.conf
| Quote: |
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory " /home/httpd/htdocs">
...
</Directory>
|
You have to change this to the same directory as DocumentRoot. |

The section fzimper is quoting is actually in /etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf.
