How do I change default Directory and index File for Apache (installed via XAMPP) so instead of looking for htdocs and index, it looks for myPath and myFile, respectively?
The research link you pasted has the first part of the answer to your question, changing the path you want serve but the second part of your question, making it serve "myFile" as the Index is an additional step. See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex
So you would add this line inside the relevant tags or even loose in the main httpd.conf file (see the Context section of the above link for valid places to use this directive):
DirectoryIndex myFile.ext
Hope this helps.
Edit the httpd.conf file - the DocumentRoot directory can be updated to whichever directory you would like (and that the process has permissions to). See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot
DocumentRoot /usr/web

Please I need help with accessing my html/php file with localhost on my browser,i turn my xampp on and tried to access my html/php file,but it is still not working
That's what I keep getting everytime
The path component of the URL to your file starts at the directory specified in the DocumentRoot configuration option for your Apache HTTPD server. This probably defaults to the htdocs directory.
It doesn't start at the root of your filesystem. Web servers do not, by default, expose every file on your hard disk to the network (which would be a scary default for security reasons).
Normally you don't have to enter xampp/htdocs in the link. localhost is reffering to your xampp htdocs folder "automatically". Try localhost/phpinvscode
If you put your index.html file in the htdocs folder directly you would only need to enter localhost in the browser.

I've got some headache trying to configure that for some days so I hope someone can help me.
I've got few sites, each one related to an FTP account. I would like to make them accessible through my man website by the url http://www.mainsite.com/site1. At this point an Alias should do the work.
However I would like to add some features such as specify the log file related to the site1 which would be in the web directory of the FTP account site1. Later, I would like to put them in /var/log and have a script to sync the log file located in the web directory with the one in /var/log so that even if a user delete the log file in the web directory, the original one is still here.
To go back to the main problem, I don't know how to do that, I tried to configure a whole vhost for the site1 but then, as the ServerName would be the same as the main site, the main site would no longer be accessible.
Any suggestions ?
You could try the ancient ServerPath directive, which will cause /site1 to be mapped to one vhost and /site2 to be mapped to another, despite having matching servername and local interface:port.

I have a magento site which has index.php appended to the url you click on. I googled a lot to find the solution and i did what i could find.To clear my my doubts i uploaded htaccess file fresh copy from magento copy and made the url rewrite in configuation>system>web to yes and clear the cache too but still it put index.php in url.I have also double checked secure and unsecure link to see if it contain any index.php which it doesn't
I can do all what i can to do research and applied it but no change. What can i do or what can be wrong?
The steps you describe should be right:
System > Configuration > Web > Use Web Server Rewrites set to yes (also check the store view level value, because the scope for this is not global)
.htaccess present in document root
clear Magento cache
Additional things to check:
System > Configuration > Web > (Un)secure base url
does your Apache take into consideration .htaccess (AllowOverride)
how did you clear the cache
the scope for your settings System > Configuration > Web > Use Web Server Rewrites

I have a directory called /var/www/icons on my web server, which is also referenced as an alias in my Apache config as seen below:
Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/"
The directory contains a number of small PNGs and GIFs, which AFAIK are unused, along with a README file.
Am I safe to remove this alias from my Apache config by commenting it out? If not, what area of my application is the removal of this likely to effect?
There is very little documentation available on this directory and I must admit i've never came across it up until now.
Most icons are used for displaying file types in directory listings. If you do not use such listings, you can safely remove alias + files. I did so and do not miss them.
It is for sure safe to remove it. Other conf files could reference /icons (e. g. the autoindex module) but apart from some not found errors nothing nasty should happen.
My advice: scan the access.log files to see if urls rooted at /icons are accessed. Delete the alias and monitor the error.log file for 404 errors.

I have few sites, and they all have identical setup on a single server. Now, instead of the separate configuration file for each of them in sites-enabled directory, I want to have a common file.
Idea is this:
www.abc.com should have /var/www/abc as DocumentRoot,
www.xyz.com should have /var/www/xyz as DocumentRoot, etc.
All other parameteres like log files, contact emails etc should also have identical setup (abc.com should have contact#abc.com as admin email, xyz.com should have contact#xyz.com as admin email etc).
I couldnt find any tutorial on how to backreference wildcards, etc.
regards,
JP
Aha. Found the solution. VirtualDocumentRoot is the answer.
A single line like:
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0
does the job. Havent really figured the logs stuff but should be similar and easy.
See https://serverfault.com/questions/182929/wildcard-subdomain-directory-names for a nice related thread.
You gotta enable vhost_alias module for this. (sudo a2enmod vhost_alias on ubuntu).
