Running apache2 locally without including full path

I Installed apache server on ubuntu to test my application locally.

The applications hosted on that server are all in the html folder located at the following path /var/www/html

When I write localhost, it displays the Index of the folder that are in my html file.

Let's say my application is called application01, to run it I have to write localhost/application01/src/en/index.html to the adress bar.

enter image description here

I want to be able to access it witchout having to include the whole path.

Something like this:

enter image description here

My apache2.config file contains the following:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

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

I tried to changed the Directory to /var/www/html/application01/src/, but it didn't work.

Thank you.

Leave the Apache.conf file as it is. Go to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder, Here you will see a file named 000-default.conf. This is the default site for apache. Open the above file with nano editor using this command sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-defualt.conf. You will see the document root defined as /var/www/html change it to point to the folder of your liking e.g /var/www/your-app then save using ctrl + o and run service apache2 restart to reload your server then go to your browser and navigate to localhost. The method above is ideal for localhost because we don't have domains.

in a server setup you would probably need to uncomment the ServerName directive and add your domain name next to itfor example. ServerName mydomain.com

NB You can create as many sites as you want and enabling them with sudo a2esite site-name.conf and the restart the server
