Apache in Ubuntu: Changing location of www directory.

Hello there! I was trying to install drupal to my computer, so that I can play with its features. For your information, I am using Lubuntu 13.10 (a variant of ubuntu). For installing drupal, I needed to install LAMP on my computer, which I installed using apt-get as:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

 (detailed instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42480/)

Now, after installing LAMP,
I found the www directory at /var/www/

Due to write permissions, I could not copy the drupal folder into www folder. Moreover, I did somehow, further problems might arise like drupal installation might not go right.

So I decided to change the path of www directory.

-> I copied 'www' directory into my home, i.e., /home/sanjay/www

-> Right clicking the new 'www', I changed the permission to 'allow everyone to access and modify everything'.

-> I opened, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf using gvim, and changed the path /var/www/ to /home/sanjay/www

-> Finally, I opened /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf000-default.conf, and changed the line /var/www/ to /home/sanjay/www

-> I restarted apache, by typing "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop; /etc/init.d/apache2 start" in the terminal, also the simpler command is "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart". Both works.

-> I copied the 'drupal' folder to /home/sanjay/www/drupal

-> Now I opened "http://localhost/drupal/". Boom.. that worked :)

Leave your queries in comments. Thanks :)

C Graph implementation with adjacency list representation using structures: Data Structure Tutorial 1

Image
This is a quick tutorial for implementing graph data structure with adjacency list representation. Once I was  looking on the web to have a simple introductory tutorial on graphs, but unfortunately couldn’t find one  simple enough. So I decided to write this. In the adjacency list representation, è All the vertices are stored in an array of structure containing ‘data’ and ‘link’ fields. è The linked chains represent the edges of a vertex with its neighbors. In the figure, there are 6 vertices, represented by the array of length 6, and the chains represent the edges. Below is another example: Let us first define the structure of a vertex in a graph. struct vertex {     int vertexKey;     struct edge *edgePtr; }vertex; The vertexKey is the data field of the vertex, and edgePtr is the edge pointer, declared next. The graph can be declared as: struct vertex graph[10]; int vertexCount=0; Here, we are taking the maximum number of v

Interview Of An Indian Top Coder : Rudradev Basak

When I (Anil Kishore) started taking part in algorithmic programming contests, for more than two years, it was just me, lot of problems, very few algorithms, my ideas and my Java codes. With that, I would have probably been still a green rated coder, working for a software company in Bangalore after moving between two or three places, still in search of the right things to do. But why ? Problems, Algorithms, my Ideas and my Codes.. what else I need ? This is where many Indian coders make mistake. Almost two years after joining TopCoder (TC), I started interacting with fellow coders, knowing more about them, reading lots of others codes, being active in forums and part of the wonderful community. That was the crucial part of my career so far. TC has some interviews of foreign coders and they are very interesting to read. Knowing more about our own Indian coders will be more fun, especially for beginners to get inspired. This is the least I can contribute to the wonderful community tha
