Hey, I use apache 2, I've installed fully/correctly the xenforo, I tested this by doing my ip then /var/www.., I managed to get on my site, and everything was working. Now I'm using apache, I want to set the default page for mydomain.com to be the xenforo which is located at /var/www/backup. This is what I do if I go to my domain right now:


Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.


I dont know how to change this, and I'm worried about changing things as I've just managed to import the mysql db, and other things needed.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
 
Code: 
vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/redirect
add this
Code: 
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName forums.towernetwork.eu
        DocumentRoot "/var/www/forums/"
</VirtualHost>
Replace forums.towernetwork.eu with your domain
replace /var/www/forums/ with your path /var/www/backup/

then press "esc" type in ":wq!" and press enter (mind the on the end)

all that this will do is; if you connect with example.domain it will use /folder/x/ path as root folder
you can have it like this


Code: 
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName forums.towernetwork.eu
        DocumentRoot "/var/www/forums/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName towernetwork.eu
        DocumentRoot "/var/www/main/"
</VirtualHost>
and if you connect with towernetwork.eu you will use the /main/ directory, if you connect with forums.towernetwork.eu you will use /forums/ directory.

I hope it helper, i suppose you needed that. If not, sorry i got your wrong... (i am trying to do everything a bit fast, since i am searching how to do this, if you can help me, much love <3 )

Thanks for the response!


When I do edit the redirect file, it's empty, should it already have stuff in it, or not? Just making sure before I change it


Thanks!
 
uggh you do not do 123.456.78.9/var/www/yourfolder

if it's like this: /var/www/yourfolder
you use 123.456.78.9/yourfolder
 
There doesn't appear to be any content there or at /backup.

Have you set up the nameservers?

Why do you have XF installed in /backup if you want it to resolve to the domain root?

1 How would I setup the nameservers?

2 I can move it, where would I put it?
