Okay here comes the question of a total Apache newbi: How do I have to step up my Apache server under OSX that if people enter http://myIP do not get the Apache default site. I actually would like to set it up in a way that they automatically redirect to my user site folder.
Is there a way and if so how?
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Markus

Sure,

Put your documents in the main web directory:

/Library/WebServer/Documents

This way you'll get rid of the default pages (if you move or replace them, that is).

If you'd like it to forward to your /Users/username/Sites directory, create a redirect document to the address www.yourdomain.com/~yourusername/ thus:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV=<font color = red>"refresh"</font> CONTENT=<font color = red>"<font color = blue>0</font>; url=www.yourdomain.com/~yourusername/"</font>&gt;</font>[/code]

Just that, no &lt;html&gt;, &lt;body&gt; etc.

If you're going to change Apache's main web folder to your own, you'll have to change the httpd.conf file. I'm not competent enough to guide you through that ordeal, though...
