How do I configure Apache to run my app when a browser-user goes to the domain name url
We have a CentOS7 Apache 2.4 droplet. Our java-based application is running fine, and can be accessed via a url similar to :
http://my.subdomain.com/cgi-bin/WO/MyApp.woa
But I want anyone accessing the url * http://my.subdomain.com* to automatically go to my app running at http://my.subdomain.com/cgi-bin/WO/MyApp.woa.
I'm sure this should be very simple but I'm not a sysadmin and I can't find the answer by googling or looking at the tutorials here.
Many thanks for advice.

You could change your document root or setup a rewrite in apache but without knowing more about your current configuration and the app (specifically whether it has other support files that need to be loaded in the path) I wouldn't want to provide any step by step instructions.
You don't even have to be a sysadmin, change document roots, or setup rewrites. You can just set up a simple "index.html" with the following contents:
You will, of course, need to change that "http://example.com/" to the domain/location you need forwarding to.
The caveat to this is that it does not provide a 301/302 redirect.
