I knew how to do it on Apache 2.2, however, how do I change the document root on Apache 2.4? I run Debian 8.20 on a Virtualbox VM as my apache server and Ubuntu 15.04 as my host OS.
I tried to change Document root on /ooo-default.conf to something like: /home/www
I also guess that I have to do chmod –R 755 /home/www. Inside of the directory is However whenever I try to load my VM's IP in Firefox it just 404's.
Here is one run from the Apache error log:
[Wed Oct 28 20:05:38.708080 2015] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 5884] AH00163: Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu) configured -- resuming normal operations
