Default Host
This option pertains to the default Web server. As explained in
Configuration" (page 743), Apache can serve multiple virtual hosts from a single phys-
ical machine. The first declared virtual host in the configuration file is commonly referred
to as the default host. Each virtual host inherits the default host's configuration.
To edit the host settings (also called directives), choose the appropriate entry in the table
then click Edit. To add new directives, click Add. To delete a directive, select it and
click Delete.
Figure 40.1 HTTP Server Wizard: Default Host
Here is list of the default settings of the server:
Document Root
Path to the directory from which Apache serves files for this host. /srv/www/
htdocs is the default location.
Alias
With the help of Alias directives, URLs can be mapped to physical file system
locations. This means that a certain path even outside the Document Root in
the file system can be accessed via a URL aliasing that path.
