[SOLVED] Apache2 Installation

[Seagasm]

Good morning Crew, I have installed Apache2 from the repository only to discover not only is it installed in the File System but also the local web sites are located in File System/Var/www/as well. I try and keep my operating system separate and would rather install working files such as www/ in the Home folder/partition. How can I overcome this? Thank you.

Install it using Package Installer might do it.

Hi Jerry, no, that is what I did, twice.

If it's the same as the Windows version, you should be able to change the www folder location in the configuration file.

If this will be a dedicated webserver, rather than just an experiment with apache on your own desktop/laptop PC, you may be interested in my Bare Server Edition respin:

Thank you for your reply Mishimainizu, I have been wondering about that, I cannot do any harm as long as I do a Backup.

Ok, I relocated the websites into the home folder, then changed the config files in apache2 folder to redirect to the sites in the respective home folder instead of File System/var/www/. All good so thank you all.
