Re: [support] Getting to the Base URL

Tim:

Well, a couple of pokes at what seemed obvious did not work. So, I think it would be best if you attached your essential apache config file(s) so they can be analysed in more depth. Strictly speaking, this is not a Drupal issue, but an Apache configuration issue. So it may be somewhat misplaced in this mailing list. Nevertheless, we can continue the indulgence. :-)

Regards,

Derek

Hi Derek,

I posted the code block in. Upon restart of httpd, it returns: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/html/drupal] does not exist

Once I have done this, I can no longer see test.html, test.php. It returns a 403/forbidden. Also, /drupal/index.php gives a 403/Forbidden as well. I know that /var/www/html/drupal does exist because I can go there in the terminal window.

Thanks, Tim

Try a virtual host block that looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/drupal" ServerName drupal.localhost ServerAlias drupal <Directory /var/www/html/drupal> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride FileInfo Limit Options Indexes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

</VirtualHost>
