This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Debian systems.
If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.
Configuration Overview
Debian's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration. Refer to /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz for the full documentation.
The configuration system is fully documented in that README. The configuration layout splits files for documentation and for organisation across several directories:
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf— main configuration file./etc/apache2/ports.conf— always included with the main configuration./etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load— module activation./etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*.conf— per-site configuration./etc/apache2/conf-enabled/*.conf— site-independent fragments.
Helpers a2enconf, a2enmod, a2ensite and their a2dis* counterparts toggle the symlinks under those directories without you having to edit them by hand.
Document Roots
By default, Debian does not allow access to the document root /var/www from outside the server, and apache2 listens for incoming requests on port 80. The default virtual host serves /var/www/html. Override this path with the DocumentRoot directive in your own site configuration.
Reporting Problems
Please use the reportbug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Debian. Make sure to include the package version and the contents of /etc/apache2/ when reporting issues.
