Ubuntu server 18.04 apache2 how to change the default page?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I will keep this short. I am trying to figure out how to change the default page for apache2 to point at my oscommerce site instead by default. I have deleted the default index.html file.
As of now I have to type:
https://myIPaddress/oscommerce/catalog
My default install location for oscommerce is:
/var/www/html/oscommerce/
What I want to type to get to the oscommerce site:
https://myIPaddress
I have created a oscommerce.conf file but I am unsure how to get apache2 to point to the site. Sorry if I am missing information. I am new to linux and I will give more information as needed.
This is what I am running into at this time

You need to change document root of apache2
leonid@DevSSD:~$ cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf |grep DocumentRoot
leonid@DevSSD:~$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf |grep DocumentRoot
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
Above commands not find documentroot in main config, but find it in default virtualhost config, run commands and find out where this setting located. Edit file by sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Change DocumentRoot to your site folder /var/www/html/oscommerce/, then restart apache2 by systemctl reload apache2
Update: Apache gives permission error in two cases, first when file permissions not allowing apache2 to read folder/file, when folder requested, e.g. / at end of request line but no index file found.
To fix file/folder permissions:
sudo chown -R youruser:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R u=rwX,g=rX,o= /var/www
Additionaly, if web application writes something to some folder, like templates_cache, give that folder write permissions for group.
For index type of error look for DirectoryIndex option in config files
Edited by User asking the question.
The way I fixed this issue is by changing the DocumentRoot for my site config and also creating a index.html file to redirect from the DocumentRoot to the site
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL='https://myIPaddress/oscommerce/catalog/index.php'" />
</head>
<body>

Are myipaddress/catalog working? Do you have some site files outsidecatalog? What files are in /var/www/html/oscommerce/ ? You may point documentroot to /var/www/html/oscommerce/catalog but I don't know if it correct, as don't know your app structure.
– LeonidMew

its wrong - /var/www/html/oscommerce/catalog/index.php. It should beDocumentRoot /var/www/html/oscommerce/catalog/without file name. Don't forget to restart apache after change

What I see, you have changed DocumentRoot not correctly, may be not in all places of config. You should not see oscommerse as DocumentRoot should point above it.

You may also do redirect by index.php file, with the following content:<?php header('Location: https://myIPaddress/oscommerce/catalog/index.php');
