Posted on by Chao Fei One min read

Configuration files of Apache2 are in /etc/apache2/

Basic Configuration

There are 2 folders in /etc/apache2 are for basic configuration. The file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf is enabled by /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf which is a link file

├── sites-available
│   ├── 000-default.conf
│   ├── default-ssl.conf
└── sites-enabled
    └── 000-default.conf -> ../sites-available/000-default.conf

In 000-default.conf , set DocumentRoot to the folder where index.html located. The 80 port services for HTTP.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/default
</VirtualHost>

Once the apache service is started, HTTP server runs in background.
