Linux under Apache to replace its working directory

Modify the default document directory for Apache2 (default is/var/www)
Modify command:sudo gedit/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Locate the DocumentRoot in the document and modify the directory where you want to place the Web page file.
Restart Apache2 server after modification, restart command: sudo/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

In Linux under the development of HTML, PHP and other programs, the default to the/var/www directory to work, and the/var/www directory must have Superuser privileges to access, but also to change the permissions of this directory. Would it be nice to add a working directory of your own, for example:/home/konghy/www. Here is an implementation method, my Apache version is: Server version:apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu).

1. Open the/etc/apache2/ports.conf file to add a port, such as add 8080 port, add Listen 8080 to the file

$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports. Conf

As shown below:

# If You just change the port or add more ports here, you'll likely also
# has to change the VirtualHost statement in
#/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000- default.conf

listen 80
listen 8080

<ifmodule Ssl_module>
    443
</ Ifmodule>

<ifmodule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443
</ifmodule>

# Vim:syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

2.&NBSP; Copy/etc 000-default.conf file in/apache2/sites-available directory: &NBSP;

$ sudo cp /etc//sites-available /000-default. conf /etc/apache2/< Span class= "PLN" >sites-available/my< Span class= "pun". conf

Change documentroot/var/www/html to its own directory, for example: Documentroot/home/konghy/www

3.   my.conf soft links to sites-enabled:

$ sudo ln -s /etc< Span class= "pun" >/apache2/sites-available/my. conf /etc/apache2/< Span class= "PLN" >sites-enabled/myconf

4. Restart Apache Service

sudo service apache2 restart

5. in the/home/konghy/www directory, create a test page index.html, open in the browser: http://localhost:8080/if the display is normal, the configuration ends.

6. If the page does not display properly and prompts for 403 Forbidden error: You do not have the permission to access/on the this server.
Workaround: Open the/etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and add the content:

<directory /home/konghy/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

7. in order to ensure that Apache access to your configured directory, Apache users can be added to their own user group, Apache's default user name is Www-data, modified by:

$ sudo usermod -a -G konghy www-data

Konghy the user group for the current user
