apache stuff

Trying to configure apache here so it will serve pages from users home directories as well as the document root. (ie: http://blah/~rob). Is there some system variable or option in the apache configuration file that I should look out for?

Also, I have mod_php installed and it's parsing the files correctly but it doesnt seem to recognise index.php as the first page to load in a directory, rather it looks for index.html or index.htm. Again, is there somewhere in the apache config file that these types are declared?

Look for details about mod_userdir on apache.org

flamegrill

for users look in your httpd.conf file for the following

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"><IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule> </font>

and

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
# Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
# <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
# </Limit>
# <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# </LimitExcept>
#</Directory>
</font>

uncomment it and restart apache

and for it not reading index.php

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
</font>
