×You have 2 options, really. You can either modify your vhost config (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default or default for Ubuntu/Debian, or /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf for Centos/RHEL/Fedora), or create a rewrite. Rewrites are heavier on system load, so I would recommend that you use the vhost modification, if you will never use resources from /var/www/html/, and will only serve content from /var/www/html/templates/
This is a clean boot of ubuntu 14.10 with apache2, and I am finding that the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf is just a empty folder.
But I was able to find 000-default.conf file in sites-available folder instead, so I’m just a little confused if this is the right location to modify the file or to create a new 000-default.conf file and import it to sites-enabled?
it’s already imported, so editing it in sites-available will do fine.
After making the change, don’t forget:
service apache2 reload
what is your website root? I am guessing /var/www/html
do you want your website root folder to be /var/www/html/templates
