Are you confusing ServerRoot with DocumentRoot?

Are you confusing ServerRoot with DocumentRoot?

<div>
Use /etc/init.d/apache scripts to start, stop apache, NOT apachectl.<br />
<br />
You need to make your change in he DocumentRoot entry in the config file, or add a symlink and allow apache to follow symlinks.<br />

Hi,<br />
&nbsp;I am running SUSE ENTERPRISE 10, with apache2.<br />
<br />
upon running apache2 as<br />
<br />
$httpd2 -d /usr/local/ensembl &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
(to redirect apache to read the server root from the /usr/local/ensembl)<br />
<br />
Apache2 doesnot seem to redirect and read from the directory /usr/local/ensembl but reads from /srv/www/htdocs .<br />
however apache2 is running okay as <a href="http://localhost" rel="ugc">http://localhost</a>&nbsp;gives the test index page of apache.<br />
There seems to a problem with apache redirection but I am unable to fix it.<br />
I appreciate any help in fixing this. <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.
