I'm running OpenSuse 11.3 X64. I have installed apache2, PHP5 and MySQL in order to do some web-design offline - that is internal network use only. phpMyAdmin is also installed. The default directory for the "server" is /srv/www/htdocs.

To access a specific site in progress, I create a subfolder there then just navigate via http://10.13.23.201/NAMEOFFOLDER from my internal network.

At least that is how it should work but it doesn't. I created a new folder called wlc so it's directory is /srv/www/htdocs/wlc. However, when I navigate to the address http://10.13.23.201/wlc I get a Remote Server Or File Not Found error from my browser. There are files in the directory that should load, for example: index.php as Apache has been set to recognize *.php files.

I know my approach should work as I can access /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin by going to http://10.13.23.201/phpMyAdmin and it loads just fine. Also the error is different if I go to a folder that doesn't exist, for example, http://10.13.23.201/THISFOLERDOESNTEXISIT will return an Object Not Found error.

What do the error logs say? Your error logs will provide clues to explain what is happening. – Stefan Lasiewski Mar 29 '11 at 3:36
Take a look at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and verify that there is a default site that maps to /srv/www/htdocs. It may be that phpMyAdmin may have a mapping just for itself. – hafichuk Nov 24 '11 at 4:43

Sorry , is your wlc folder inside a vhosts or in the httpd.conf ?. If it isn't , just add it ( i don't know how it's set on suse though , because i'm way used to FreeBSD ), but check the httpd.conf or the /path/to/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf in that machine.

( the configurations be different on that one , and may have a Debian Layout ( sites enabled... ) ) Lemme know what you have ;)

make sure your application folder is owned by wwwrun:www

sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/[yourfoldername]
