    Newbie confused with www or public_html

    Hi,

    I have just set up SLES 10.2 and about to install Moodle and Mahara but quite confused as to install it to www or public_html. What's the difference?

    I have installed Moodle on windows and use the htdocs folder in c:\Apache2\htdocs

    I think I have used just about fried all my brain cells gettings MYSQL, APache2, PHP 5 and PhpMyAdmin working - LOL

    Life is easier on windows but I am loving the Linux experience!

    TIA

    public_html is for users of your system to have a website.
    www is the main website

    so placing something in public_html of lets say username: user1, could be visible at

    http://www.yourdomain.com/~user1

    (/var/www) www would be visible at

    http://www.yourdomain.com/
