How to make public folder not /var/www on apache 2.4 on debian?

Question

linux

I took a VPS and already had apache installed on it. Usually there were no such problems, but I can not understand why Apache does not see my document root.
Contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName www.example.com

        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
        # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
        # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
        # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
        # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
        #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>


 vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

Extract from /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

# Sets the default security model of the Apache2 HTTPD server. It does
# not allow access to the root filesystem outside of /usr/share and /var/www.
# The former is used by web applications packaged in Debian,
# the latter may be used for local directories served by the web server. If
# your system is serving content from a sub-directory in /srv you must allow

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /srv/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

I believe that with such settings, when accessing my server via ip, the contents of /var/www/html should be displayed, but /var/www opens. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

how should you open html if this folder is not specified.
If you write root /var/www/html/; in the configuration file of the site settings in the
sites-available folder, then html or whatever final folder you squeak will be opened.
