[solved]Apache2 at Gentoo - where to put the main index.html

Hi,

Recently I installed apache2 on my Gentoo LAN server to set up a simple (intranet) website.

I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure just where to put my main index.html...

I searched the config files, the man page, documentation at the official Apache page, Google, some apache forums, this forum... but I couldn't find how to just simply set up one simple web page. I found how to setup webpages for each user of my server (i.e. http://10.0.0.1/~[username]/index.html), but that's not what I want. I just want one single page.

Could anyone please tell me what the default directory is of the main website (i.e. http://10.0.0.1/index.html) in Apache 2 at a Gentoo server? Or point me to a document where I can find this info ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

It's in /var/www/localhost/htdocs

The default vhost config for this is here:

/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf

Thanks Errtu and elgato319

I put my site in /var/www/localhost/htdocs and it works fine now.
I also had a look in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf and now it's all more clear to me.
