Did you restarted the apache services?
just edit /sites-available/default
Quote:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
and comment out #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/

It's deployed as an image using Amazon Web Services. The image is working fine, but I have this splash screen that I want to avoid.
So I edit the httpd.conf file by changing these lines.
DocumentRoot "/path/to/index/page"
<Directory "/path/to/index/page">
Obviously substituting that with real information.
The funny thing is it works until I reboot the server (which I do when I make an image) and the it just craters with error 500.
This is Unbuntu 10.04, and Apache2.
@ahoffman - I didn't miss the leading slash on the conf file.

It seems that it's the application that is causing this error, the index.php file in the moodle folder.
As a test, I dropped an ordinary index.html file in there it worked.

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
In there i changed the DocumentRoot to var/www/html/moodle
Moodle is the web application folder. However, it does not seem to be working. Is there anything else that needs changing in this appache configuration file?
