I'm not really sure what you are trying to do, a more detailed explanation of what you have on your system and what you are trying to do would probably get you more help. What distro on your hard drive? The are different installers so different methods to install apache/php etc. Logging in to knoppix as root: Root - Knoppix Documentation Wiki

HTML Code: That's good because Knoppix was meant as a Live CD and not to be installed on hard drive, although it can be. A Live CD is read-only. You can't save/write files to it. Still have no idea what you are trying to do or if you have a system on your hard drive you can access?? What you would type in your browser to see "myfile.html" would be (http://localhost/myfile.html) Of course, before you could do this you would have to have a web server (apache) installed and configured and if you want to view php files php installed and configured. You would then create your files and put them in the "/var/www/htdocs" directory. You don't need "html" files there, you can open them anywhere by just clicking on them.

ya but like w/ SLAX server edition you can save php files to /var/www/htdocs & view them in konq & thats a live cd i thought..& also there isnt htdocs under /var/www in knoppix (@least none i could see)..
