Hi,
So I’ve got my server set up with LAMP, but I’ve go one problem. If I go to mydomain.com the standard “It works!” page shows up. I’ve placed my own index.html in var/www/ and if I go to mydomain.com/index.html it shows up. Naturally, I want mydomain.com to point to /var/www/index.html.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
- W

I have done this, but it still isn’t working. Is there a setting in apache2 conf that i also need to do? php works from the command line, but in the browser, I can see the code. I have fixed this problem before but cannot figure out what’s wrong this time.
I used the LAMP server image that you offer so I didn’t configure it myself. Is there an easy way to change the root directory? And yes, I deleted the index.html which was already in var/www before I added mine. <br> <br>Thanks, <br> <br>- W
Did you restart Apache, afterwards? If not, execute: <br><pre>sudo service apache2 restart</pre> <br>* I don’t work for DigitalOcean.
