I'm migrating a website from my old server to a new debian etch
installation.

The old setup was loosely based on FC2, but with mnay, many modificaitons,
including a self-compiled apache 2. It worked fine.

Now on the new server, I am getting a

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

error when I try to access the website, and I get a

[Sat Oct 14 02:33:54 2006] [error] [client 192.168.128.202] File does not
exist: /htdocs

error in the error.log files....

I am completely stumped; the 'default' setup that comes with etch makes no
mention of /htdocs and it comes up fine.

I've grepped my entire site and it makes no mention of htdocs either, but
I get this 404...

Can anyone shed some light on this? Where does htdocs come from? Is it
some standard directory I am missing?

I can post conf files if needed....

Search your httpd.conf file for any occurrance of htdocs and you will
likely find it either in a DocumentRoot directove or in a Directory
container. And don't forget any conf.d directory. There may be multiple
conf files in that directory as well.


Moving from one server to the other likely has the difference of the
standard DocumentRoot.

Never mind. Typo in the virtual server config.

/htdocs is the default document root.
