Can someone point me to where in Deb 4.0 / Apache2 to connfigure the default
directory??

I try browsing from a different computer on the LAN, and I get page cannot
be displayed.

I try http://localhost and I get "It works!" (but the default in
/var/www/apache2-default is gone...see below). But MediaWiki, phpBBS3,
WebMin, UserMin, and VirtualMin all work.

I've copied a *very* basic site in /var/www/apache2-default and
/var/www/localhost, and I've changed the DocumentRoot in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default to /var/www/localhost.

Yes, I've just been through the same exercise

It's at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.
This is my modified file; adapt it to your site. Hope it helps:

It should. Let me see if I understand it.

I have this up in Windows at www.wiredisp.tld (replace tld with com, net,
org, us, biz, or info), but I REALLY want to migrate it to Debian.

But first, some organization (I know, I'm obsessive about easy to read <g>).
I'll add more comments and change paths before it goes live on the 'Net.

Is this the same thing (other than the directories)?

Can I restart Apache@Debian now <G>?
