Hi guys and sorry in advance for my English.
I need a particular apache2 configuration. I would like to create a single document root where there is an html/php page.
I would also like to configure apache so that any connection to this VPS points to this document root.
I basically have about 100 domains that must always point to this IP address and showing the same site.
Thanks for support.

Hello,
The default Apache2 Vhost config would work as expected in this case. So you should only have to install apache:
sudo apt install apache2
Then make sure that Apache is enabled:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
And then start it:
sudo systemctl start apache2
After that you can upload your HTML site to the default document root at:
/var/www/html/
And then you can point your domains to your Droplet’s IP address, they would show the same content.
The default Apache Vhost should look something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
