Apache Document Root On Linux
Sep 5, 2007
Basic question: does it matter where I set the document root for apache on a Linux system? I've googled this but haven't found a good answer.
This is for a VPS server running the Ubuntu (Debian) server os that I'm configuring. I'd prefer to simply create a new directory off the root and set that as the document root in the apache config file. Would this present any kind of security issue?
If that's no good, what's the best choice -- stick to the default?

I just made a fresh install of the following :
Apache 2.4 (x64)
PHP 5.5.5 Thread Safe (x64)
OS: Windows 8.1 (x64)
And I think everything is working. When openingen 127.0.0.1 I see the apache message that the server is running and when executing phpinfo() it displays the PHP info.
My problem is that I'm trying to change the document root.
I have change the following in the httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache24/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/Apache24/htdocs">
The lines abowe have been change to:
DocumentRoot "D:/www"
<Directory "D:/www">
After this I did a reboot of the apache server using the CMD httpd -k restart. I even tried restarting using the apachemonitor and rebooted the whole server. But apache still loads the files from c:/Apache24/htdocs
I can't find any more entries with htdocs to change. What am I missing?

In httpd.conf I have
DocumentRoot "C:/Programme/Apache_Group/Tomcat-8.0.5/webapps/ROOT/"
2.4.9 is complaining about this having to be a directory. It is definiteley. I can browse it with explorer.
When I change this to "C:/Program Files/..." it works.
Why is that? In the stock Win32 server I downloaded from the apache site I did not have to make this change.

I think it is possible, but just to be sure...
Default document root is:
var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/httpdocs/
Can I change it to:
var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/web/
A simple "yes" or "no" will do...

There is a bug in the current Plesk version 12, which was encountered on many of our Plesk 12 server until now. I do have Plesk 12.0.18 Update #23 with CentOS 6.
When a customer changes for example the document root of a domain nginx does not recognize it and the administrator of the server do have to restart nginx manually.
This issue is serious because CSS, JS and images are not working on such a page where a customer changed the document root. Nginx is throwing 404 error until nginx is restarted manually.
Other customers do have the same issue: [URL] .....

i am relatively new to Plesk, i ordered a vserver with Plesk a couple of months ago and spend a lot of time setting everything up and developing several new websites. I am used to developping new websites on a hidden adress (sth like domain.com/dev/ instead of the top level) and then switch the document root to point to the hidden directory when all is done. This practice has served me and my clients well for the last 10 years.
Using the Plesk features like built-in applications seemed like a good idea at the time but wanting to switch the new websites live i have now found out that Plesk won't let me do this since..It is impossible to change document root because there are web applications installed on this website.
I had read somewhere on the interweb that the v12 would let me do this so i just spent the better part of today updating to v12 .. but alas no luck, the limitation is still there. Is there a way to remove this limitation ?

I installed a centos4.7 with ISPCONFIG2 control panel, but any account I create it points to the documentroot of apache.
I am running my server behind a router.
On the /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf the document roots are :
Document Root /var/www/web11/web for xxx1.com
Document Root /var/www/web10/web for xxx2.net
but when i type ant site, it goes to : Document Root /var/www/

I am running a LAMP server, working to get everything configured and as secure as I can make it. I have been trying to decide weather to change the document root to a different directory, or if it would be better/worse or more/less secure to chown and chmod the current directory.
Any input would be helpful, I just don't want to overlook some small detail as this is my first time handling a server on my own.

Document root default in Plesk
I bought a new plesk and created new domains. For some odd reason, all the domains are looking at the default document root.
/var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/
Rather than going to the domains document root
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf
I checked the /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include, the document root and all are fine.
I also tried creating vhost.conf and assigning the document root there.
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com -v
It is also not working...

I've done some manual change of document root in httpd.conf for a user. I know that now, I don't need to to manual change since user can set there own folder!
Now, If I rebuild Apache, he will re-do all the configuration to the original one. Where can I find the settings for domain document root so I can change it and EasyApache will rebuild the httpd.conf correctly?
I don't want to remove the domain since I'll lost all email account!

On my VPS I currently have:
/home/admin/public_html/ as my website root.
However, I plan on running multiple website (not linked whatsoever) on the server. I have LXAdmin and HyperVM. Is it possible to get additional files, such as:
/home/site2/public_html/
then etc..
/home/site3/public_html/
Is this possible? Because, would each need its own IP for the DNS?

I am trying to configure Apache 2.2 on Linux Mint 17 ( derived from Ubuntu 14 LTS).
I am wanting to create a variety of localhost sites all for development. One of those is built on Laravel 4. I have followed every tutorial I can find yet, for some reason which I do not understand ALL my sites route back to the Laravel root document when called from the browser. Just don't get it.
Here is my hosts file:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 vince-XPS-8300
127.0.0.1 auburntree
127.0.0.1 example
Here is the Laravel conf file:
Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName auburntree
DocumentRoot /var/www/auburntree/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Here is the alternative "example" conf file with just "hello world" in it.
Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName example
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/test.html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Both conf files have been enabled.

OS - 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5
Apache - 2.2.29
Is there anyway to emulate the functionality of the ErrorDocument using rewrite rules, redirects, rewrite conds or other methods.
I'm trying to create a 404 page that can use dynamic variables (not allowed in ErrorDocument), that serves a custom 404 page and also logs a 404 in the HTTP status code in the logs.
I can achieve one or the other but not both as the ErrorDocument does.

My web server starts from /var/www/xxx/xxx/
I have installed phpmyadmin, and i tried placing the folder both in /var/www/xxx/xxx/ and /var/www/ and neither seem to work.
How I can get it to show up in the /var/www/xxx/xxx so i can just access from my.site.name/phpmyadmin
Even more preferred would be keeping it in the /var/www/ folder, but still being able to access my site at my.site.name/index.php and my phpadmin by my.site.name/phpmyadmin

I have home a server Apache. I want to put all my party songs in one partition and can listen from anywhere without having to take CDs. I have my site in C:Site and the songs I put it in D:Songs.
In php I see the D:Songs directory, I can read subdirectories, I see the .mp3 and .Wav files, I created the playlist, but the audio player doesn't start.
If I move the songs files in C:Site or C:SiteSongs goes perfectly, I can listen my music, but I do not want to be there.
Why I see in D:Songs, but does not want to go? In httpd.conf I have:
DocumentRoot "C:/Site/"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and
<Directory "C:/Site/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I try to put also:
<Directory "D:/Songs/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
bud does not work. "What Can I Do"?

With my old Apache 1 and PHP4 I was able to pull files from behind the public_html using a php file without any problems. Is there a reason why this does not work with Apache 2.2 and PHP5?
the piece of coding below is what grabs the image. Right now i'm just seeing a red X for each image.
PHP Code:
if ($private == 1) {
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg('/home/site1/private/' . $type . '/' . $mid . '-' . $iid . '.jpg');
imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}

I use Webmin (1.69) to work on my development environment. I am using Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 right now. I am not exactly an Ubuntu newbie but I would not call myself an expert either.
I created a virtual host (newdomain.local) with webmin. I filled in all the fields and saved the new VH definition. I added newdomain.local to my hosts file with an ip address of 127.0.0.1 and restarted apache.
When I go to [URL] ...., it is not taking me to the VH's home page but to the default home page.
Why this might be happening?

I am running Apache2 server (version 2.2.16) on Debian Linux.
My document root for directory listings is set and in that folder I have a few other files to configure the formatting and visual effects. These are:
images(folder)
sorttable.js
style.css
index.php
These files make the root directory look very nice. If I navigate in to a subdirectory, all of the formatting and visual effects are lost and the standard text layout is shown. Is there a way I can get ALL subdirectories in the root directory to take on the visual and layout effects from the root directory?
I know it works if I manually copy each of the files to each of the subdirectories which would be fine, but the subdirectories are created dynamically and new ones are added regularly.

Debian also has a report but I'm trying to avoid linking to the source of the exploit. It works on 2.6.24, but only once. Then the box kernel panics (did for me). 2.6.24.1 is out as of couple days ago, but I'm not sure if it's still vulnerable. Seems like it is.
