Document Root @ Apache 2 on Suse 9.0

[djridu]

hi @ all!

First of all I'm close to be a completly Noob to Linux and Apache

I'm running Suse 9.0 Pro and followed the install routines to set up Apache 2 as localhost. I tried to change the DOCUMENT_ROOT to /windows/....
Well Yast told me that this would be the directory where i should post my web documents. Well i think that I'm still docked in the default directory because i see the Apache default-page.

Plz help me!

Greetings DJ

I never saw the document root of /windows myself... The usual documents root (atleast to my knowledge) is /var/www/html. To get rid of the Apache pages in there, remove any pages already in there, and input your own pages into that directory.

hi!

My Linux is a secondary OS. I created a partition in NTFS-format where my web documents are in.
I think Samba mounted this partition at /windows/....

I'm running an Apache Server on Win XP which Document root is this partition. And i want to work on the same files. That's why i need to set the localhost at /windwos....

I deleted all standard files. =>

I dont know, if I'm docked in the old directory,..., or if my new DOCUMENT_ROOT is unaccessable.
