simple question about apache serv in linux

Question

i installed the apache, php and mysql. It is initialized and works in the browser - simple file with "it works!".

But now, where is the folder www? i can't find it.

Answer 1

It will vary depending on the linux distro you are using, a few common places:

• /var/www
• /usr/local/apache/htdoc

Answer 2

Go to /etc/apache2, and then grep -ri DocumentRoot *, which is likely to output the directory you are looking for.

(This is assuming you installed Apache 2. For apache 1.x, go to /etc/apache instead.)

Answer 3

There is no common answer for all Linux distributions out there (yet). The usual approach is to check the docs. But where are they?

My approach for problems like that is to list the installed files. For RedHat based systems, try rpm -ql apache. For Debian based ones, use dpkg -L apache.

That shows you all the files which belong to the package apache which should give you an idea where the files are which the server serves you.

Answer 4

/usr/local/apache/htdoc is common. But check your docs.
