After following the steps from these 2 articles:
- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-launch-your-site-on-a-new-ubuntu-12-04-server-with-lamp-sftp-and-dns
- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts
I’m able to type in my domain name and get some where, except I get to the default apache view of what’s inside a directory. The one item in there is a directory named public_html.
Because of the articles, I put my files into the public_html directory. How do make my droplet serve the files in public_html when someone goes to my domain name?
I figure it has to do with: -htaccess? -httpdconf? -symlink? -virtual host?
I would love to be able to make sense of this stuff. thanks!

Change the webroot so it’s /var/webdir/public_html instead (change this, it depends on how you set it up.)
What is the full path to your files? Can you also pastebin your virtualhost configs?
