that I will have to give up on Linux for the time being and use windows (most

there is very little out there or it costs a fortune. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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>
