Hi there. here's my issue, I want to create an http directory like with Microsoft IIS, I mean, in IIS I just put the whole directory I want to share, and just right click on it and select the share as a web site option, and I can go to that folder only with the "http://myserver.com/Sharedfolder" from any computer on my LAN, so I want to to the same on a Linux SuSE server 10, the apache server is already installed, as you can see I'm on a microsoft environment, but I want to change it to Linux and learn how to manage it. Any help would be appreciate, any link, anything

Yeap my htdocs is under /www/htdocs/, I place them in it and seems to work, but I got another application running, its ntop, but when I want to connect it from a pc in my LAN ("http://my.ip.dir:3000) I got this error "(111) connection refused", so I have on this SuSE server installed a proxy server with ipTables, I guess has something to do with it.
