euclid development server
Go to:
Unless you changed its configuration, your new server is configured as follows:
-
Configuration files can be found in /etc/apache.
-
The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your
HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www.
-
CGI scripts are looked for in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, which is where
Debian packages will place their scripts.
-
Log files are placed in /var/log/apache, and will be rotated
daily. The frequency of rotation can be easily changed by editing
/etc/apache/cron.conf.
-
The default directory index is index.html, meaning that requests
for a directory /foo/bar/ will give the contents of the file /var/www/foo/bar/index.html
if it exists (assuming that /var/www is your DocumentRoot).
-
User directories are enabled, and user documents will be looked for in
the public_html directory of the users' homes. These dirs
should be under /home, and users will not be able to symlink to files
they don't own.
All standard Apache modules are available with this release and can be
chosen with the apacheconfig script. Installing a new module on
your system is just a matter of compiling it (with the apache-dev package)
and adding a line to your httpd.conf configuration file.
