[afnog] documentroot must be a directory

[A.I.Fabian]

The DocumentRoot is a directive to show where you are putting your
document ......and this must be a directory....it seems in your
configurations you have gone beyond the directory....i think the last
along the line is just a file.

Usually the DocumentRoot is a the path towards where you put your pages.


It should be pretty EASY...just go through the steps slowly and make sure
that the DocumentRoot is something like /var/www which is a directory !
The DocumentRoot varies from distribution to distribution....of course one
can just decide to change the default placement of it.


Try it out..
