missing httpd.conf file?

Question

So, I work in a company that is upgrading an Exchange server. In the event that something goes terribly wrong, I wanted to set up a very simple site to guide users on what needs to be done on their end.

I followed directions at: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/ and was able to quickly set up an Ubuntu server. Works great! I just modified the /var/www/index.html to display what I want, and done! With a quick entry in the company DNS server, my site SystemStatus now works and everyone sees my page.

The problem is now that other sites (satelitte offices) liked the idea, and wanted to add their info to this intranet site. So I simply created links to http://(sitename)/site2.html and put the site2.html in the /var/www folder. Didn't work. After some research, I found that you have to change the DocumentRoot. But the httpd.conf file is nowhere to be found. I"m at a loss. Every possible location this dumb file is suppsed to be ( according to web site searching ) its not.

The site is up perfectly. I just want to add some links. Is there a way to view the DOcumentROot from the command line? ANy ideas on what needs to be done?

Answer 1

Name might be apache2.conf (look in /etc/apache2/).

Did you try using links without the site name? E.g. /site2.html

Answer 2

create one. There's alot of info in a httpd.config so the best thing to do would be copy one froman existing website. I'm not sure if this will work or not but it's worth a shot maybe. You may have to do some google searches and change a few settings but it may work as is. BTW this is off of an Apache server.
