[rhn-users] Apache warning: DocumentRoot doesnot exist..

[Stephen Gilbert]

Hrm.  Check your User directive in your conf file. It'll show you who httpd
is going to run as.  As long as that user has access to the directories, it
should be able to serve up pages from there.  Mine looks like:

User apache

so as long as apache owns those directories on my server, it worked fine.
