I made some changes to .conf files to have DocumentRoot point to /home/user/NetBeansProjects/Drupal
but, I’m getting a:
[Mon Nov 02 19:55:14 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/drupal
Do I need to create vHost in order for Apache to point to this folder?
To me that looks like you didn’t edit the configuration properly.

Modify mod_userdir.conf if you wanna serve pages from a user’s home directory
It’s only necessary to change default-server.conf if you want to redefine the doc root. Then it’s optional to create a virtual-server .conf file in vhosts.d. So which .conf files did you change and/or create? And can you post it/them here.
If you are still having trouble try using YaST which has a module that will let you add a virtual host
(I would undo any changes you made the conf related to document root etc as I found my manual changes aren’t picked up by yast and it might cause some conflicts later on)
Here’s the only changes I made in httpd.conf, just doing a override of the default:
Include /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
Include /etc/apache2/default-server-drupal.conf
Here is my default-server-drupal.conf it’s a copy of default-server.conf, but with changes:

This is my development server, but to make things easy I would like my Production server to match what I do here. So what is the best way to setup Drupal.
I have it working fine on my Windows server, but changing over to Suse Linux. My development server is a Suse Linux as well as my Pruction Server which is a VirtualBox VM.
By default, your default-server-drupal.conf won’t be included. Better make virtual servers if you intend to run more than one server. Look in vhosts.d for an example file
The existence of two default-server.conf files, named in this:
Include /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
Include /etc/apache2/default-server-drupal.conf
might give the error because you’ve “included” both files.
You should only have (one) default-server.conf in the directory /etc/apache2, and then put two vitual .conf files in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d, one each for the production and development servers.
Step 1: You modify default-server.conf to put the document root at /home/developer/NetBeansProjects
Step2: make a file developer.conf in vhosts.d for the development server located at /home/developer/NetBeansProjects/drupal_devel. The doc root in this .conf file is at …/drupal_devel
Step3: make a file production.conf in vhosts.d for the production server located at /home/developer/NetBeansProjects/drupal_prod
Then you put the developer install of drupal into the directory drupal_devel and the production install of drupal into the directory drupal_prod. The doc root in this .conf file is at …/drupal_prod
For an example of default-server.conf and then subsidiary *.conf virtual server defs see this: HowTo: Configure a Linux Apache Web Server on Suse/openSUSE
Thanks for your reply’s, I will make the changes and get back with you!..
