This is very easy using apache virtual hosts

Follow these instructions to achieve what you want

  • Copy the default apache site and give it another name using this command: sudo cp /etc/apache2/siates-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain1.com.conf
  • Modify the default configuration by changing the following options:
    • ServerName domain1.com
    • ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/domain1.com_error.log
    • DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    • CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/domain1.com_access.log combined
  • Repeat step one and name the file as domain2.com.conf
  • Repeat step two and replace domain1.com with domain2.com also do not forget to change DocumentRoot to /var/www/html/admin
  • Enable the two new sites with these two command: sudo a2ensite domain1.com.conf, domain2.com.conf.
  • Restart apache with this command sudo service apache2 restart

Now you can use domain1.com to access the site at /var/www/html and domain2.com to access the site at /var/www/html/admin

Hope this helps, revert back here for any further questions.
