Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual page 772

DocumentRoot
Path to the directory from which Apache should serve files for this host. For secu-
rity reasons, access to the entire file system is forbidden by default, so you must
explicitly unlock this directory within a Directory container.
ServerAdmin
E-mail address of the server administrator. This address is, for example, shown on
error pages Apache creates.
ErrorLog
The error log file for this virtual host. Although it is not necessary to create separate
error log files for each virtual host, it is common practice to do so, because it makes
debugging of errors much easier. /var/log/apache2/ is the default directory
where Apache's log files should be kept.
CustomLog
The access log file for this virtual host. Although it is not necessary to create separate
access log files for each virtual host, it is common practice to do so, because it allows
separate analysis of access statistics for each host. /var/log/apache2/ is the
default directory where Apache's log files should be kept.
As mentioned above, access to the whole file system is forbidden by default for security
reasons. Therefore, explicitly unlock the directories in which you have placed the files
Apache should serve—for example the DocumentRoot:
<Directory "/srv/www/www.example.com/htdocs">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
The complete configuration file looks like this:
Example 40.4 Basic VirtualHost Configuration
