no localhost root location

[prasanna6]

I installed apache2, mysql, php and phpmyadmin . The root location is in var/www now but i wanted to change it to something like /home/user/sites or something. In the other threads , the solution was adding some code in the 000-default.conf file in sites-enabled folder , but there is no such file in my folder, infact there is no file in /etc/apache2/stres-enabled folder. So how do i change the location now?

Kindly execute this command
dpkg --get-selections | grep apache
or which apache2
to check if your apache is correctly installed

You should have a file called:


000-default

in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. that is a symbolic link to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.

The contents of default should look something like this:


cat default
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

You can set the home directory, by editing the DocumentRoot entries.
