Web Server Administration: Document Directives
Document Directives (srm.conf)
DocumentRoot This directive sets the directory from which httpd will serve files. So when you enter “www.mydomain.com” into the browser by itself, this is the directory the server looks for index.html in
Alias Allows documents to be stored somewhere else in the filesystem other than under DocumentRoot
Redirect Maps a new URL onto a new one
ScriptAlias Specifies directories to use for executable programs (CGI)
