Are you running an HTTP or FTP server?

**flacko21** · 11-07-2005

http. do i need to use ftp too

**lakerdonald** · 11-07-2005

From the looks of it, it looks like komposer's trying to get to FTP. But I'm not that familiar with komposer so don't ask me

so is there another way to do this.
im using apache. http when i open my browser and i enter www.mysite.com i see this in the address browser http://www.mysite.com and there a default page and it says that if i see this page that the apache is working,

Apache is running, so one problem down. Second, where did you save your webpage to? I believe you have to put the pages in /var/www/htdocs/ (correct me if I am wrong).

Nope you have done it correctly sofar

place ur webbpage in /path/to/localhost/htdocs after clearing out every other index.html
or place another directory in htdocs then edit apache.conf if version 1.3 or apache2.conf if version 2.x and adjust the DocumentRoot /path/to/localhost/htdocs/new_directory

im on gentoo and mine is like this DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/main_site

yours is probably not in /var/www/xxx/xx

how do i place my webbpage in /path/to/localhost/htdocs
can u tell me step by step. when i save it i think i put it in /home/myusername

**flacko21** · 11-08-2005

well i found where to place my my webpage in>>> /var/www/html but when i try to save it. it said can not create a file in /var/www/html
/var/www/html is not writable how can i add my webpage to /var/www/html

You will need root priviledges to write to that directory. If you are using KDE, type in a Konsole:

Code:

kdesu konqueror

When you have given your root password and navigated to your htdocs directory, just copy and paste from where you originally saved the pages.
