Apache Debian Default Page

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.
