Question

Where I work we use a red hat linux box as a small server. We host a few web pages with it, just to pay the bills. But know I want to edit a few things but I don't have all the know how on linux. We use apache web server if that helps. What I want to do is edit the redirect page some that I can make it list the INFO i want it to display. I can build and edit web pages good enought for what I need, my problem is that I can't find the redirect page. Can someone tell me where it is, and what it's name is. Thanks, Byte.

YOu need to do some reading on the apache documentation so that you will understand what you're doing. It might not be good to make changes on this machine since this is a live web host if you do not know what you're doing.

Cool

I just want to edit the error page...I can do HTML very well. So if it is an HTML page I just want to edit it.....Not go digging around in other settings....

Ive heard that the html files are sometimes stored in the /home directory or the /appache directory. Just a guess, hope it helps.

I'm new to Linux, but under UNIX (a couple years back), we could find out where files were with either the type or file command (check and see if you can use these in Linux and which one tells you the full name (IOW the absolute path) of the file (if you know at least the name of the file you're looking for). In UNIX we used to edit our HTML files with VI. If nothing else, make a copy of the file and try to play with it using VI (It takes a little getting use to.. but it works great).
