| I set the document root to vol1:/website (there is a folder there) The
folder contains index.html
When I try the site by just entering the ipaddy 192.168.1.68 The
browser shows it trying 192.168.1.68/Welcome/index.html and it errors
Why? What did I miss?
If I do https://192.168.1.68 I go to the index.html page no problem.
If I manually type 192.168.1.68/index.html I get what I expect.
I am just stumped as to why it trys to serve up a Welcome folder
Is there a Cool Solution doc for setting up a realworld webserver.
Realworld I mean the things we all would/should do to setup a simple
webserver on our Novell boxes. Mainly changing the document root to
something other then SYS vol.
That seems to be my bigggest hurdle, (I contemplate the solution of just
having an index.html in the folder on the SYS vol that Netware uses for
Apache default that then has all of its links pointing to the WEBSITE
folder I have on VOL1
Thanks

The include statement in httpd.conf that includes the welcome stuff?

| No I don't think so. I saw something on the board about remming that out
or you get Novell welcome stuff. I was getting that, and then fixed it.
This problem seems to be different (perhaps)
I have told the doc root to be vol1:/website
in the website folder on vol1 there is index.html
if I creat a folder called welcome and then put the index.html in there I
also get the results I expect.
That is, if I put the ipaddy in a browser I get the index page I am
expecting (albeit redirected to ipaddy/welcome/index.html)
Its almost like my document root is vol1:/website/welcome
which I have verified to be just vol1:/website
My experience here leads me to believe, there is more to creating your own
website on Netware then just changing the document root. There seems to be
a bunch of 'leftover' stuff in the httpd.conf files that needs cleaned up.
As I understand it, Netware installs 2 instances of Apach 1 for all of the
Server web based admin stuff and the other so you can create a website, why
isn't the website version a nice simple clean instance of appache. Perhaps
the installer could even ask where to create the website. Or some sort of
1st run type of question asking where to create/save website files.
My problem is all based on the mindset that you don't store things on the
SYS Vol
perhaps would it be better to install a basic server and then install
apache later, does that give a 'basic' instance of Apache?

Depends on what you want/need. Many people like to use things like iFolder,
NetStorage etc.

See above. The installation adds some stuff at the end of httpd.conf

No. If you really want a clean apache, then create your own httpd.conf, using
the one you get when you download Apache from apache.org as a template and
use that instead of the httpd.conf modified by the installer.
