I have a question. I do not want to change the default setting in httpd.conf of DocumentRoot “/var/www/html” but I also want web files to be in DocumentRoot “/home/www/html”

How do I do that?

Delete 000-default.conf

Create symlink.

# ln -s  /etc/apache2/sites-available/server100.sytes.net.vhost /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Restart apache.

# service apache2 restart

@Saurabh,

Which Linux distributions are you using? Ubuntu or CentOS?

Still the html files saved in my new folder do not load in the web browser.
