Settings are in /etc/apache2

I changed the document root to my home directory; this setting is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. I allow only connections from 127.0.0.1 (localhost), this setting is also in that file.

More general settings are in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. I don’t think I’ve changed anything in those files. httpd.conf seems to load the PHP module, I may have set that.

Addendum

To make your settings take effect, gracefully restart Apache 2:

sudo apache2ctl restart

1. Install Slax on the USB flash drive. Here’s how I did it.
2. Download the Xampp module for Slax. I got version 1.6.2 from here.
3. Copy the Xampp_1_*_.mo file that you downloaded to the modules folder on your USB flash drive.
4. Boot off the USB flash drive.
5. Open a terminal and type:

   /opt/lampp/lampp start

6. Open Konqueror and navigate to the URL http://127.0.0.1. You should see the Xampp info screen.
7. To see what your webroot directory is, look at /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf. Here, it is /opt/lampp/htdocs.
8. I added a symlink in opt/lampp/htdocs to a directory called slax_files on the larger data partition on the usb drive (I had partitioned the drive and put Slax on the smaller partition). I can now access files in that folder at http://127.0.0.1:slax_drives/ (This symlink does not survive a reboot. See the next post on how to make it permanent.)
