The DirectoryIndex and DocumentRoot in apache 2

  • 772

I have /var/www/html/moodle as my website directory. When in mysite.conf the settings are as follows:

DocumentRoot /var/www/html
DirectoryIndex index.php

mysite.com gives an Index of/ page since there is only apache's index.html in the default location as index file. How can I make mysite.com load /var/www/html/moodle/index.php?

I tried giving in /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.conf

DirectoryIndex /moodle/index.php

With this mysite.com loads the moodle homepage, but otherindex pages inside moodle are not loading.

How to solve this?

server apache2 websites webserver 18.04

  1. This can be solved by changing the line 

    DirectoryIndex index.php

    to

    DirectoryIndex index.php /moodle/index.php

    in the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf.
