- The web site should now be accessible. It should be available as an alias "$projectname", please look it up in "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/${projectname}.httpd.conf". You will find the automated home page to need some further manual adjustments - which does not really encourage to update the server version too frequently, we presume.

- If the home page does not show up then there may be some missing file or some bogus file permission. The inspection of "/var/log/apache/error.log" should bring sufficient insights to fix the issue. The image shows a URL with a ":8080", which indicates the browser to ask for the page at a different port than the default ":80". For doing so, add a virtual host configuration in above  httpd.conf of your project. The [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html|Apache Documentation]] explains vividly how to do so.

  If you see a page but that looks weird, then PHP may not be executed on that page but the source of the file is shown directly. To enable it, perform {{{
  cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
- sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php5.* 
+ sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php5.* .
+ sudo ln -s ../mods-available/cgi.* .
+ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  }}}
+ 
+ alternative to the above you may prefer to write from anywhere {{{
+ sudo a2enmod cgi
+ sudo a2enmod php5
+ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
+ }}}
