httpd.conf DocumentRoot

[marciano]

I am installing web server in a remote dedicated server Fedora 3
I need to change the default document root (/var/www/html) to /hsphere/local/home (I have lot of scripts with this root)
It is not working for me: test Fedora pages opens instead of index.php
This is what I did and its results

In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
I made these changes from default file

#DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
DocumentRoot "/hsphere/local/home"

#<Directory "/var/www/html">
<Directory "/hsphere/local/home">
....
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.html.var


Both doc root have similar index.php
When I set the default doc root, index is diplayed but
if I set the new one Fedora's test page is opened
Files an dirs in both roots are
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

Thank you for any help

if you have an apache user which is intented for owning www folders and file, try to as root #chown apache.apache -R /hsphere

apache will become the owner of /hsphere and all files and folders on it..
then see what happens next..

Make sure you have Directory section with this too:

<Directory "/hsphere/local/home">
...
Order allow,deny
...
</Directory>
