how to APACHE

[Rohit Gupta]

I have been setting up Apache HTTP server in fedora on my computer,
but now i also want to use it in ubuntu and open suse.
in fedora, i just added content to the directory /var/www/html/ and it
worked. how to do it elsewhere, there's no such directory.

thanks

In openSuSE it exists under /srv/www/htdocs

Under Ubuntu it exists under /var/www (not /var/www/html)
If you have installed Apache, this directory will surely be there.

I dont have much experience of http in ubuntu
but i have tried it once.

The way I would search in fedora is first look for httpd.conf file,
may be apache2.conf in ubuntu
locate these files by

locate httpd.conf

and then search for DocumentRoot path in that file.

From what i remember it is a htdocs dir.

For Ubuntu, look for apache2.conf file in */etc/apache2/* directory.

If you want to change the DocumentRoot look in the file */etc/apache2/sites-available/default*

Just remember that with Debian styled FS layout for Apache2, you
*would* need to ensure that /etc/apache2/sites-available/<sites> are
symlinked to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/<sites>. The default site is
always enabled by default, but for vhosts you would need to do the
needful. Either by hand or use the a2ensite script.
