Appache on Linux

[Carlosinfl]

Guys - I am wanting to host pics and media from my Linux machine. I have my own domain <carlwill.com> and I checked to make sure I have a current updated version of Appache Web Server on my Linux Fedora Core 2 machine & I do

Now - I just don't really know where to begin now that Appache is installed on my machine.

Do I need dreamweaver or something of that nature or can I just do it manually?

I just want to create and index with jpegs and multimedia.

You'll have to configure apache. I think FC keeps their apache configs in /etc/apache/conf.

Just write index stuff by hand or use a program like gallery.

A lot of this stuff is really just up to you to figure out what you want. Just try it.

So I guess I need to browse to /etc/apache/conf.

Then open this file with some type of text editor?

Can I do this as "user" or must I be "/"?

Log in as root, browse to /etc/httpd/conf/

The Apache Group has a great resource for apache help.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/

Alternatively, if you're serious about Apache, I'd recommend the Apache Bible.

If it's an admin function, you'll need to be root.

There's also man pages for httpd.conf, if I remember right.

httpd.conf is owned by root and not writable by anyone else.
