Ubuntu Servers :: Change Default Loading Page In Apache?
Feb 8, 2010
but ive two problems. 1st: The first is how do i change the default page on load up of localhost.eg when i enter the http://localhost/ i get the usual it works symbol.this is because its loading the index.html file in my var/www/ folder.i dont want too create another index file, but how do i change the configuration too load up a different one like home.html2nd: i tried installing sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin and for the most part it worked.but nothign comes up when i go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
I am now using CentOS5 as the server providing Apache services. I have managed to setup the web page under /home/user1/public_html, now I wish to change the default web page of our server to /home/user1/public_html. i tried to modify httpd.conf, in which i changed the "/var/www/" to the above user directory, but didnot work. Please kindly suggest.
I have apache installed and I have it all setup so that when I create a user, in their home directory i created a folder called public_html and then that user can upload web content. Users then can browse to their site by going to[URL],,.How can I get apache to show a different or default page if the user does not have a index.html file in their public_html folder. Cause if they dont, you get a 401 saying you dont have permissions to view, etc. So id like apache to default to something else if the user doesnt have a index.html.
no matter what I do I cannot get my fresh install of apache to change off the default

this is really annoying, my config file at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf is as follows (it is mainly the original with a few commented changes)

I have apache httpd server on my Fedora 10I got 2 problems:First : I copied the web page files to its Document Root <var/www/html> & Disabled the default web page. But when I visit http:/localhost ，it shows up the list of files in <var/www/html> as if a ftp server browsed in web page. So how can I set http://localhost load my default web page index.html ?Second :I want to set up a web server on Internet through my router . I applied for DDNS account & input it into router correctly . I set virtual host in server to redirect any access from port 80 to 192.168.1.2:80 in LAN . Just for in case , I also download and running the DDNS software & installed it on PC 192.168.1.2 in LAN . My DDNS provider is oray.cn . It's a Chinese server provider . I don't think there is anything wrong with oray.cn . But if you need its information just visit oray.cn (Google can translate it for you). So I want to know did I miss something to set up a web server in this kind of situation

I've just installed rutorrent following this guide: [URL] As I load the rutorrent site on my server it actually kills rtorrent with this error: Caught Segmentation fault, dumping stack: Stack dump not enabled.
Since I upgraded to 11.04 on my Server edition I have been experiencing some problems with my FTP-server and Apache. Apache just says that the page is "forbidden" if I'm not logged in on the server, which means I need to go to the server and physically log in or I can do it trough ssh but then when I close my ssh client on my work computer the page is "forbidden" again. And I cant seem to reach the FTP-server from an external address so I need to be in the network to access it.
It says something like: Code: An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder. 200 Switching to ASCII mode. 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,194,233,166)
when I try to view my root directory of my website.if I go to URL... on my computer, it always loads the "It Works!" page. I deleted the original index.html page, and even replaced it - but if I go to URL... it KEEPS coming up.If I specify the page I want to view, ie.URl... it loads the right file.Is there a setting in the conf file that Im missing?
When you first access Nagios, it displays the Home page (the Nagios Core version and check for updates page). I would like to have a way to change the default page to either the Tactical Overview display or the Services display.This question was asked here, but not answered
Today, the power was suddenly cut off in my house, then my home Ubuntu Server restarted after the power on, but when I use my laptop to view my wesite, the index.html suddenly became blank page, I did clear the firefox cache, doesn't work, still blank, and I changed browser, to seamonkey, the index.html still was blank, so, I am sure that the problem is coused by the server, and then, I put the index.html file to a subdirectory, which under the /var/www/home/index.html, and then I put the address < [url] > ,then,I can view my website the main page index.html.
I have a server that host's several sites, recently I had to create a new server because the old one isn't good enough for me. Ive installed apache2 on the new server and moved all the files from one server to the other. I'm making tests in my local lan so I've edited my computer's hosts file to point to the name of each site to the local ip of the new server:
I have an urgent issue with my apache. Since last night approximately 50% of my vhosts are responding very slowly. That means I see a blank page for 1 minute and then the content comes up real quick.I restored the httpd.conf file but it didn't solve the problem.
But after it updated and I restarted the service, it's reporting 2.2.0 on any error page. Yet through yum it's reporting 2.2.13-1. Is that normal? I've only ever used 2.2.x, starting with 2.2.6ish.
How do I change the ugly default orange color for the loading bars and stuff? I know how to change things with the window manager, but that only changes the frames and "min, max, close" buttons. I like everything about the theme I have, and the way the window manager is set, except it uses that ugly orange color when things are loading or downloading. How do I change that part? Can I change only that part by itself?
I'm trying to make a reference to a second hard drive that is not part of the main file system, so I changed all the references to /var/www to /media/HD1/www and I have set the permissions on the entire hard drive to allow reading, and I still get a 403 forbidden error when I attempt to access my site, everything works when I just use the default path. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with apache2 installed through the package manager...
i am a new user of ubuntu and also new web designer. I have installed apache2 server and the network name is "localhost" by default so here is my question how can i change it to a name that i want and also how can i change the default domain name to a domain name that i have registered so that everyone can reach my website...
This is probably a pretty basic question seeing as I'm pretty new to Ubuntu Server. I'm running a simple website from my Ubuntu Server machine with The files are all stored in /var/www/ and then subdirectories. The problem is that when I add files through FTP I need to go and change all of the file permissions since by default they do not have read access so can't be accessed through a web browser on another machine.How can I make the default permissions readable for the directory and all new files that will be moved in it

I've removed the default install with yum remove httpd and then tried installing using apache's ./configure make make install commands. This all appears to work ok but when trying to start the server i get command not found error.any suggestions **ps why are the apache files all over the place in fedora..
I've created a virtual host and when I try to access it it displays the root of the Default Server. Running Fedora 11. This works fine in our Fedora 8, same configuration.
192.168.0.200 Default server is set to Listen 80 virtual server
Installed Apache and the default web root was /var/www I wanted to change the cgi-bin to somewhere within the /var/www but I cannot. It only works at /usr/lib/cgi-bin. I am trying to work out the Python CGI to be precise. It works at /usr/lib/cgi-bin but gives a 404 at other places like /home/aj/public_html/cgi-bin or /var/www/cgi-bin.I even tried it with putting a webroot directory in my home directory with a cgi-bin in it and made the changes accordingly in the conf. but the only way it works is when cgi-bin settings point to /usr/lib/cgi-bin otherwise it gives 404.
I have tried several places for help but I am getting no where...Here is my background.I have spent all weekend to replicate my development server back at home. I have an Apache remote server with 3 IP based virtual hosts pointing to
[URL]
Now I have been able to set up a VM on my desktop, installed the OS, the applications, the db server, apache etc. Everything is looking good so far. So right now I have,
[URL]
So when I go to 192.168.0.111, I go to [URL] so I guess apache is working aswell.What I want to do is, instead of going to [URL] I want to change it to another address such as a.me.add1How can I do this? I am looking through the virtual hosts section, I have changed server name entry etc but its not working.Can you tell me in big picture what I would need to do to set that up? My current set up doesnt really help me much once the site get the www address.tell me if Document Root of IP address 192.168.0.111 points to [URL] will it always resolve into that webaddress. That is if I enter 192.168.0.111 the browser will redirect it to [URL].
I would like to change the permissions for a directory and all files inside the directory how do I do this? The website is located only on my local network so I am not worried about security. Also what would be the optimal permissions for running wordpress.
I finally got the server running. All seems OKAY, however I want to change the default player on my server. As of now, when I upload a file, it plays but has no "play/pause/stop/mute/fullscreen" buttons. How do I get those? I've tried installing FFMPEG, MPlayer and a few others to no avail. Please suggest a tried&true method of allowing for this. I need it to be able to at least play audio(mp3) and video(mp4,wmv,avi,flv)
Using the 'limit' comand in tcsh, I can adjust stacksize etc. I can put this in my .login file, but what I actually want is to set this system-wide as a (larger) default then it is now (including for bash if possible).
I need to change the default color scheme in Ubuntu's terminal. Or at least turn the colors completely off because this lime green hilight / light blue text is killing my eyes.
When I start firefox the home google page will load and all is well. When I go to any other page (ex. cnn.com, gmail, etc) the page will load graphically, but then continue to load forever. At this point I cannot click on anything in firefox including the drop-down menus.I must force quit at this point.
I updated last night even though I was already using firefox 3.6. I had a problem with flash last time I updated. I reinstalled firefox and went back to firefox 3.5 without any success.This makes me think that the problem is something other than firefox.I am on a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5965 running ubuntu 9.10. I'd give you more information but when I click on system and go down to "About Ubuntu" it loads forever - this is another problem I need to fix. Ugh. I should never have updated
