http://askubuntu.com – I'm trying to rename my apache2 localhost folder. I have already gone to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site-name and changed the following lines in the Document: DocumentRoot /home/hermann/public_html <Directory /home/hermann/public_html> 'public_html' is then the new name of my localhost. Then i restarted the apache2 server, but this does not work as when i type 'localhost' in my browser i just get an empty screen. What else must I do to change the folder name of my localhost? (HowTos)
