<div>Default locations of files change between distributions. On SuSe 10 the config files are probably in /etc/apache2 and the log files will be in /var/log/apache2.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's possible that they have also broken the config out into separate files and referenced them with includes (allows for a more modular setup).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Something I forgot to say last mail - take note of the DocumentRoot line as this is the folder served by default.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, some default Apache installs allow for users to host their own content from their home folders. So if you have a /home/walt as your home directory you should be able to create a 'public_html' folder under this and reference the content in there via
<a href="http://localhost/~walt/">http://localhost/~walt/</a><br><br> </div>

<br>still dont understand the logic behind file placements in Linux (I am<br>beginning to think there isn't any) I will uninstall Apache and<br>re-isntall it. Hopefully I will then find it then and apply your fixes.<br>
<br><br>According to various linux sites the the file should be in<br>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but the directory httpd under /etc does not<br>exist. Yet the service is running and port 80 is open.<br><br>I will keep you posted. Many thanks again.
