Newbie scrub needs help with Apache

[GTB]

Hey, I'm new to Linux as you can probably tell from the title. I installed Caldera Linux on a PC and it came loaded with Apache. I got it to the point where it can get out to the internet and I can get to the default apache screen(by typing in the IP address).

So my question now is, how does it all work? I am somewhat familier with IIS4. Is there a wwwroot type directory where the 'index.html' resides?

Also, is there a website out there with basic apache tutorials? I don't really have a goal with getting this together. I'm really just messing around hoping to get some sort of an understanding of apache. Thanks!

Edit: I did do a search before I posted this. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Well, all the docs are included with Apache as HTML pages, and it does have a search that goes back to the Apache site. Your HTML root will probably be in /home/httpd/html or /home/httpd/htdocs - again, depending on distro and how it was installed.

I've never used Caldera, so I can't tell you for sure, although you can look at the config file (/etc/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/httpd.conf) to see.

you should try using locate to find it

example:

locate httpd.conf

Thanks! I'll search around. I looked at some of the apache docs, but didn't look to hard. What I looked at made my head spin.

I found everything I need. Thanks again.
