[wertyuiop408]

Installed apache, php and mysql using this guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy

Now i would like to know were to save my php files. Do i put them in the etc/apache2 folder.

/var/www

you can change the root of the www directory with the sites-available, default file:


gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default &

For instance, my apache2 server is set to /www instead of /var/www


NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mydomain.org
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /www

<Directory /www>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Finally, reset the apache2


sudo apache2 -k restart

There's a lot of security issues about running your own apache2 server, which you should check on the apache2 manual page, but if it's only for testing at home, and hopefully, behind a router, then you can omit them.
