[ChyLd]

Okay heres my first question..
I just learnt how to sorta setup the apache server on my box.
When i hit the ip 123.xxx.xx.xx it point to folder located /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.20/......

How do i change it, so that it points to

/var/www/html/.......

When typin de Ip from a broswer?

I dont really know the "term"....for askin this question.....

I hope this is a valid question..... :)

you need to edit the httpd.conf file to achieve this. It'll be in different locations depending on your distro, so just do a locate httpd.conf

[Vagrant]

yep do a search for it, then when you edit it look for a string "DocumentRoot" change that path, and the path below it .. if you are using vi as your text editor the search command is just

/DocumentRoot
<enter>
thats once you've "vi httpd.conf" .. good luck .. you could also look for a program called Webmin on freshmeat.net its a gui for configuring many different services ..

A symlink would've worked... Most Apache configurations I've seen allowed for symlinking.
