apache web server configuration problem
- by mohit
i want to have apache server to serve only
/var/www/ directory
now it serves all my files on system from directory
"/"
i tried to edit httpd.conf placed in /etc/apache2 and placed the folllowing content in it(intially it was empty)
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
DocumentRoot "/var/www"
<Directory "/var/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
then saved it,restarted apache server
put the location /var/www in the web browser address bar,still it shows the higher level directories too
then i edited the file Default,Default-ssl in the sites-available folder
repeated the same process
still apache serves all files on my system
2.when i try to use the following command
gedit httpd.conf
I get the error
gedit:2696): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
