Apache2 Public directory on Ubuntu server 7.10

Hi
Where do I find the Apache2 Public directory on my Ubuntu 7.10 server. Couldt
it be /var/www/ . When I'm installing an application for example PhpGdeView is it there where I save the application files??

 

WWW location

Yepp, it's /var/www/ if you use a default config.

 

Hi thank's for answer
Ok, but why dosn't the server answer for index.php, couldt it be something whit my PHP configuration ?? The server answer for htm, and html but not for php.
The browser try to open a file instead of running the file and the database configuration he should open....why

 

in the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

make shure that you have index.php in the DirectoryIndex statement:

example:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Hi Petter5
Thank's for answer.
I don't have the line
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
in my apache2.conf file, but where in that file should I put it in.

In my /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf I have the lines

<IfModule mod_dir.c>

#DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl index.xhtml

</IfModule>

Isn't that enought for the server to know the index.php

 

Well, the index.php is located inside a if module. Then IF you not load this module THEN index.php will not be valid.

You can try to add

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml

outside the if statement, save the file and run

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

to reload the configuration before you try once more

DirectoryIndex index and so on......

Hi
Ok but i dont understand the configuratin Where is the line for
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
comming in. In the HowTo it says that the line should bi in the file
/etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf: and I changed that line.

In the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf there is nothing about this
configuration htm or php. Did you meen that the line shuld be aut of
the if statement in /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf
in that statement there alredy was a line with php and html after the installation.

sorry I don't get it and it dosn't work, but I will tray again........

 

Please try this:

Code:

cd /etc/apache2
grep -R DirectoryIndex *

What's the output?

 

:/etc/apache2# grep -R DirectoryIndex *
mods-available/dir.conf: #DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
mods-available/dir.conf: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl index.xhtml
mods-enabled/dir.conf: #DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
mods-enabled/dir.conf: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl index.xhtml

 

Open mods-available/dir.conf and change

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl index.xhtml

to

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php3 index.pl index.xhtml

Restart Apache afterwards.

 

DirectoryIndex index and so on....

Hi Falko
Thank's for helping me.
Now it works, thank's alot for the help. I was taken the DirectoryIndex line from the Howtoforge description, was it something wrong whit that line? Well it works for me know and I can go on working until next problem comes up.

Thank's again for the Howtoforge site

This means that you had another index file in the directory that was listed before index.php. By making index.php the first one in the DirectoryIndex line it is now being called instead of the other index file.
