Sorry if this has been asked before but I looked through other posts and couldn't find my answer.
Wordpress is up and running inside /var/www/wordpress/
However when I browse to www.mysite.com I get a listing of files & folders like the following:
Index of /
Name Last modified Size Description
index.html 12-Mar-2013 18:31 177
wordpress/ 08-Jan-2012 17:01 -
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at www.mysite.com Port 80
If I click on the wordpress directory, I am brought to my site.
I asked a friend and he said modify .htaccess but there is no file with such name in /var/www/
How do I get apache to set my default homepage/directory to /var/www/wordpress/(index.php) ?
I tried uncommenting
ServerRoot "/var/www/wordpress"
But this led to errors trying to restart apache:
-cannot find ports.conf
-cannot find conf.d
things went downhill from there...
Do I modify sites-available/default?
Do I modify apache.conf?
Do I add an .htaccess file?
Also, since this is a new setup, how do I secure the installation which I read a lot of people use a specially crafted .htaccess file?
Thanks for your help!
