7.5.1.4. Changing the default configuration

The default Apache configuration serves all web content from one directory: /var/www/html . To perform more advanced web serving, the default configuration needs to be modified.

Apache can be configured by using Fedora's graphical configuration tool or by editing configuration files, but you can't alternate between the two approaches. Most experienced Apache administrators prefer to directly edit the configuration file because it provides direct access to all of Apache's features and because it is more convenient when accessing a remote server. However, Fedora's graphical configuration tool is quite powerful and is a good place to start if you're not familiar with Apache setup.
