Apache 2 default document root won't change (Ubuntu)

I want to prevent direct access to the server web root showing the Ubuntu home page at /var/www/html/index.html

I have changed the following:

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

DocumentRoot /var/www/websites

And restarted Apache but it's still going to /var/www/html if I visit my server directly.

Edit:

It appears this problem is only when I access the server on HTTPS. On HTTP it works fine.

You also need to change in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. Find this:

<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

and change to your desired directory
