Brandeis>From a web browser? file:///usr/share/doc/apache2-doc That's three slashes - file:// - two slashes - and then the filesystem path. Hope this helps, with every good wish, as ever, Andy CaterAnd that works, the third slash is new to me. So now the only thing I've changed from the default install is in /etc/apache2/envvars for usr and grp to be www-data. But now it won't restart. journalctl -xe reports: Jun 21 12:46:16 coyote apachectl[286443]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 63 of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/security.conf: Jun 21 12:46:16 coyote apachectl[286443]: Invalid command 'Header', [...]In my (unedited) version of that file: [...] 61 # Requires mod_headers to be enabled. 62 # 63 #Header set X-Content-Type-Options: "nosniff" If line 63 is required un-commented, then $ sudo a2enmod headers $ sudo systemctl restart apache2 should do the trick.
After I found it with locate/ /usr/sbin is not in su's $PATH That fixed the error, and I uncommented the stanza in apache2.conf that points to the directory I want the server to access, and localhost:port# displays the default startup page ok. dig "my-site-name" returns the proper ipv4 address. I just used the address:6309 and it worked. So I edited the address bar to use the registered name:6309 and hit F5, a couple times, and that works. So now I need a <Directory /path/to/dir> stanza in apache2.conf that works. This one doesn't: <Directory /opt/www/geneslinuxbox> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory> Do I need to comment out the default page to expose mine? I have constructed that path, made a subdir for buster armhf stuff in it and placed an preempt-rt kernel file in it. The intent is to let anybody download it. If the bots insist on wasting my upload bw, I may OTP passwd protect the subdirs, but that's a future option & howto question. Making progress, I think, Thanks Gareth. Take care & stay well.
