Can't get Apache2 working

Hi Guys,

I'm going through a how to on getting my own Wiki working but have hit a hurdle with regards to Apache2.

I've used Apache but not in a while. Basically I can't get it to display /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki/config/index.php.

After further troubleshooting, I can't even get index.html located in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/.

My browser says the file cannot be found. I have tailed the apache2 error log and it says this:

[Thu Mar 08 01:24:55 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /usr/htdocs, referer: http://localhost/index.html

I know I'm doing something simple wrong - like configuring my httpd.conf file properly. All the contents of /var/www/localhost is owned by apache user and group.

From memory the default apache install never looked in the /usr directory for web content.

I think I just have to configure my host in the httpd.conf file but haven't had a chance to read through it properly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Justin

Check your httpd.conf or vhost file for DocumentRoot.

I think it´s pointing in die wrong directory.
