I'm sorry if this sounds simple but what direcotry is the defualt directory people will see when they access www.myserver.com?

I've tried putting index.htm and index.html files in /home/admin/public_html but it dosn't display the file.

Any suggestions?

It's probably /var/www/html but check your httpd.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf and look for the "DocumentRoot" variable.

Perhaps apache isn't setup right, I went to that directory and found an index.html file, and it's content suggests that If I had apache setup right it would display.

DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs

Yes, that is the directory shown and where you need to place the index.html file. See this thread for more that I started a few days ago:

http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?...&threadid=28201

or you could could edit the httpd.conf to point to a new directory like i did..

So let's say I go into httpd.conf and change DirectoryRoot to /home/admin/public_html/...

I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to work when I go to my domain.

you have to change this as well..

and restart apache.

I changed the second reference, but didn't restart - thanks for the reply - as you can tell, I'm quite new to this...

I'm still having some problems. Before I restarted, I would get the "success" message from Apache, but now, after changing both references to /home/admin/public_html, all I get is a directory listing which still appears to be the apache directory as it has different index.html files.

It wouldn't be a huge problem if I could just upload a couple files into the apache directory, but my FTP program is retarded and even though I can connect securely, I can't upload and I am unsure if I can upload via SSH.

Just wondering if anyone could help me out here qucikly
