When reviewing the documents for apache. I keep seeing references to this directory.

However, my install didn't create a home/httpd/html directory.

Why is this and why should I use it instead of /var/www/domainname/html ????

Thanks

/home/httpd/html - is the 'default' directory that is being used for examples. depending on your distro, the default might be var/www/hmtl (RedHat)... regardless, you can change it to what ever you want in the httpd.conf file. (remember to restart Apache when you edit this file or the changes won't take effect - and I hope you kept a back up of the default config file just incase).

I suspect all your problems are easily solved with your Virtual Host containers... I assume nothing, and ask if you've RTFM'd the Apache documentation, particularly the section on Virtual Hosting...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html

If you can post the virtual host section of your httpd.conf file... your problem can be solved much easier by the many talented people on this board.

Found the problem... I was modifying the wrong httpd.conf file.

Duh
