How to change the root directory of an Apache site?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

The essence of the question is this: I have a website and I need the index page to be displayed when visiting site.com/ru .
That is, change the root directory so that site.com/ = site.com/ru . And it is desirable to disable site.com/ altogether .
How can this be done in Apache?

Answer 1

is configured via mod_rewrite, and you do not need to change the folder, you need to correctly configure the server and the web application itself.

Answer 2

And it is desirable to disable site.com/ altogether

You can’t turn it off completely, because. how do you go to the site? :) You can make a forced redirect by adding the necessary redirect rule to the config, here it is written in detail how to do it
