Apache2 install to MX-Linux 18.3

[Seagasm]

Good morning, I recently installed apache2 package via the package installer in MX-Linux. While all is running well, I discovered the Apache installation installed into the File System Partition. It also installed so the working files are in the File System/var/www folder. I prefer to keep working files separate ie the user/home/folder, how can I achieve this please? thank you.

Either with the help of mod_userdir or simply modify DocumentRoot.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html, see also https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/public_html.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#documentroot



Bookmark https://httpd.apache.org/docs/ for future questions, there is plenty of documentation.

Altrea, This is a Linux Apache board relating to installation of Apache on a Linux system. The "A" is XAMPP abbreviates to meaning "Apache", so what is your problem?

Thank you Nobbie, I will have a look at that. I am new to Linux having come across from Windows and have installed XAMPP previously there.

Ok, I relocated the websites into the home folder, then changed the config files in apache2 to redirect to the sites in the respective home folder instead of File System/var/www/. All good so thank you all.

No, this is the support board for XAMPP installations on Linux specifically.
This whole board here primarily supports only problems relating to XAMPP and its pre-configured components.

So if you got help here you are lucky, but that does not mean that we are supporting any Apache issues except of XAMPP installations.
