    Hello,

    I'm a totally noob in apache, and i'm doing a internal wiki in my house's LAN(we have 3 computers here), and i want to use apache(with ubuntu). The problem is that i can't find the 'local host' url, to start the instalation of the wiki(i tryied to look in every single config file, and i just can't find it). I can't open the "it works" site. I'v tryied http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1, myip (the two before plus /index.html) and i have no idea where it can be. When i reload apache there is no error mensage, so i'm sure it is working perfectly well.

    Somebody knows a comand i can use to find out the local host site? The index.html file is in the var/www/ directory.

    thanks a lot!

    Where do you have the installer for the wiki extracted to?

    You said that you have 3 pcs. Did you open the http://localhost from the PC where you have Apache installed ? If you try to open http://localhost from PC's where apache is not installed it wont work

    Find the httpd.conf, view the documentroot, put the wiki files there and start installation from http://127.0.0.1

    Remember to add Apache as an exception if you have any firewall running.
