Local copy destination folder in Linux

[oldeflyer]

Hello,
Already beat this to death getting my Windows machine to do local copy (all my errors BTW), now it seems I cannot get the syntax right for the Linux machine.
I have my Apache2 default page at "/var/www/MXWeather". I copied my web files from my Windows machine and can get to the 'old' web page with obviously stale data.
I tick the Local Copy option and give it the "/var/www/MXWeather" destination and it gives me a syntax error message. Message says to use a form: " This field should have pattern ^.*[/\\\\]{1}$ "
The working Windows local destination is "G:\MXWeather"

What the heck is that pattern?

Tried with the slashes the other way too. Didn't expect that to work and it didn't.

Help?

I think you need the trailing slash as well - like this:

Code: Select all

/var/www/MXWeather/

In brief, you have misread the default location for your Apache2 index page, and that made you type in the wrong place for copying destination.
Try /var/www/html/MXWeather/

You can have the Apache2 default location anywhere you like on the filesystem - it's a simple one-line change in the config.

Freddie - I understand about Apache2 files being at any chosen location, as I do use a different location in my RPi Apache2.
It is two different interpretations of the term "default", you mean the starting point of the search for web pages, I meant the Apache2 setting if it has not been altered.
Wayne - Because of this confusion, I will delete the content from my earlier post, but you can see alternative path I suggested in the quote in Freddie's second post, just note that I forgot to type the word "may" before "have misread".

Oh-ho! Success!
It needed/required the trailing slash.
Thanks for all the input. It is working now.
I will see if it works continuously on the Linux box (as long as I don't close the laptop cover )
