I need to change the directory that is served up by the service. So I have changed the httpd.conf file:

# DocumentRoot "C:/IBM/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US"
DocumentRoot "C:/sites"

#<Directory "C:/IBM/HTTPServer/htdocs/en_US">
<Directory "C:/sites">

But stopping and starting the service doesn't change the directory that is served up.

Any ideas?

Reset to default

Wait for the server to reload it's cache.

In your configuration directory, look for the sites-enabled folder, in there should be a file called 000-default or something similar; this is where you should be changing your document root. The settings in this file override the ones in httpd.conf.

This is where it is for Apache2, though I noticed you have your post tagged with IBM WebSphere. I have never deployed, or administered, WebSphere; this is mostly just a suggested place to look.

  • I think it's like most IBM tools... it's an open source project with a few IBM features to call there own.

  • Okay, sweet! In the directory where httpd.conf is kept, is there a sites-enabled directory?

  • There isn't. But I checked the server again today without making any changes. It's serving up the correct directory now. I must have been looking at a cache. :(

  • sites-enabled/ is unique to the debian-style packaging of Apache HTTP Server.
