Apache server problem in redhat 9

Dear all

The webpage cannot be normally open, with the test page instead, after
setting website folder /home/htdocs/test/ in httpd.conf under redhat 9. Note
that in "httpd.conf" file, DocumentRoot have already been changed to
/home/htdocs/ .

Please give me advice, thanks.

Regards,
Simon

1. Make sure that the "user" running apache has permission to read the
files.
2. Study the log output.

did you restart apache after making changes to httpd.conf? are you
sure you are editing the right httpd.conf? is there an index.html
file in your new directory?
