I just went through all the steps to configure something to be run on Apache called OntoWiki. I set up and tested Apache, PHP, and other tools that are required and all seem to be fine.

If I go to http://localhost/ I do see my Apache server loading up. But if I go to http://localhost/myow/ (the directory if the installation) then it gives me a 404 page.

I checked and I do have a directory /var/www/myow in my Ubuntu setup. Any idea for what can be causing the 404 page to get displayed despite having the right directory?

I even changed the directory permissions to be 777, but the OntoWiki welcome page is still not getting served up.

Thanks, Alex

Take a look at your error log in /var/log/apache2/error_log If you are getting a 404 then the entry in the error log should show the full path that apache is trying to access. – Pratik Amin Mar 28 '11 at 19:10
Yup, already looking there, and it makes sense. Or I can be blind which is not out of the question :) – Genadinik Mar 28 '11 at 19:13
And the exact error from the log is??? – Chris S♦ Mar 28 '11 at 19:26

The problem was this issue: Apache directories under /var/www
