How to change root directory on Apache?

[arcull]

Hi guys, I'm setting up Apache on Suse 10.2 and have some beginner's problems. The issue I came across is changing the default root directory when a client requests my page. I have registered a free domain like http://mydomain.dyndns.org, while my web page resides in \srv\www\htdocs\page directory. Now when I enter the domain name in the broser I get just the "It works" message. I would like that when the user enters http://mydomain.dyndns..org in the browser he gets my page residing in \srv\www\htdocs\page, how can I do that. I went through the settings of Apache, but I just can't figure out the problem. First I thougt I have to define virtual host in Apache, but it dindn't work. Thanks for help.

hi,


open httpd.conf and change DocumentRoot to whatever you want to be your root directory.

Thanks khafa, but there is no such switch in /ect/apache2/httpd.conf, any other idea maybe
