I need help regarding configuring of Drupal site in apache 1.3.

I have installed
apache 1.3.33
PHP 5
Downloaded drupal source and copied the directory to /htdocs folder.
configured mySQL database

Now problem is to configure drupal site so as to access it over web. I have updated /sites/default/settings.php, but not sure whethere it is right/wrong.

Can you help me what should be done to make the site up and running.

apache is working fine, this problem is related to drupal installation and setup.

Please provide a link to your site. Your info is much too vague.

Yes, i have installedd all of them in my local machine.
if i try to access site with http://localhost it shows default page of apache saying apache installation is successful but not loading drupal's default page.

what configuration should i update to load drupal's page whenever i try above url.

This is a general apache question. Apache is not configured to direct you to the directory where drupal is.

You have also not provided enough information to know your apache configuration or what you would like it to do.

This is an apache question and may be better answered in an apache forum or from reading the apache docs.

if you access the localhost site you will see the default index.html (or .php) from the apache installation, thats ok....well so far

when you access localhost/subdir_of_your_drupal_installation
you should see something from drupal

if you want to see drupal from localhost/ you need to change the .htaccess of your /htdocs/ directory ... actually i guess you need to make one, afaik there normally is no .htaccess on a fresh apache installation

for further infos you should search for .htaccess and rewrite rules =)
