Apache2 Debian Default Page

It works!

This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of

the Apache2 server after installation on Debian systems. If you can

read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this

site is working properly. You should REPLACE THIS FILE (located at

/var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP

server.

If you are a normal user of this web site and don't know what this

page is about, this probably means that the site is currently

unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please

contact the site's administrator.

Configuration Overview

Debian's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream

default configuration, and split into several files optimized for

interaction with Debian tools. The configuration system is FULLY

DOCUMENTED IN /USR/SHARE/DOC/APACHE2/README.DEBIAN.GZ. Refer to this

for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself

can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc

package was installed on this server.

The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on

Debian systems is as follows:

/etc/apache2/

|-- apache2.conf

| `-- ports.conf

|-- mods-enabled

| |-- *.load

| `-- *.conf

|-- conf-enabled

| `-- *.conf

|-- sites-enabled

| `-- *.conf

* apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces

together by including all remaining configuration files when starting

up the web server.

* ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It

is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and

this file can be customized anytime.

* Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and

sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets

which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host

configurations, respectively.

* They are activated by symlinking available configuration files

from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be

managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite,

and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed

information.

* The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment

variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be

started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. CALLING

/USR/BIN/APACHE2 DIRECTLY WILL NOT WORK with the default

configuration.

Document Roots

By default, Debian does not allow access through the web browser to

_any_ file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html

directories

(when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is

using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may

need to whitelist your document root directory in

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

The default Debian document root is /var/www/html. You can make your

own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous

releases which provides better security out of the box.

Reporting Problems

Please use the reportbug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package

with Debian. However, check existing bug reports

before reporting a new bug.

Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to

respective packages, not to the web server itself.
