sudo apache2ctl
sudo apache2ctl -v //show version number

etc/apache2/apache2.conf

site configs are in:
/etc/apache2/sites-available

If you are not sure if this is the file apache is using to load the configuration from, try this:

  • Put a typo into the configuration file, like “xyz”.
  • Let apache check the configurations syntax 
    user@machine:~$ sudo apache2ctl -t
Syntax error on line 240 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Invalid command 'xyz', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Setting the DocumentRoot

Change the DocumentRoot directive in the default site configuration (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default) from

DocumentRoot /var/www

to your path.
