Changing the default directory of website





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

So I have my website right now in /var/www/html and I would want it to be in /var/www/html/website but I don't want to add to my website link the name of the folder so I would want when I go on my website go straight to the index file in website folder and not do website.com/website to get there if that makes sense.



So later on I will be able to add another folder website2 to create a subdomain with a website2 folder and then so I could get there by website2.website.com

  • Just to make sure. You want to change the default directory from /var/www/html to /var/www/html/website right?

The following steps change the default directory (apache)





  1. sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.conf

  2. edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.conf such that DocumentRoot points to /var/www/html/website

  3. edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf such that Directory /var/www is changed to Directory /var/www/html/website

  4. sudo a2dissite 000-default && sudo a2ensite mysite

  5. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Now when you place your index file in /var/www/html/website it is displayed when you open your site (http://127.0.0.1)
