For most of my projects on my school server, we used a public_html dir to put our html and php files into.

I am trying to set up a EC2 server (with Ubuntu) to host my personal projects and I want to have a public_html folder so I can maintain the way I have my files organized. I have set the permissions of the public_html dir to 705 and have a test file named index.html. While I can host html files out of var/www/html, I don't want to do that.

Some of my readings suggest changing the DocumentRoot in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file but I don't know what I need to change or at how many places.

Please help me solve this or recommend resources as I am new to Linux.

    I think [these responses](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5891802/how-do-i-change-the-root-directory-of-an-apache-server) will help you on achieving it. – sto.vyshnavlal Nov 02 '22 at 05:34
  • The fact that the Apache server is running on an Amazon EC2 instance is not relevant. (It's like saying that it is running on a Dell or an HP computer.) The linked question should provide the information you seek. – John Rotenstein Nov 02 '22 at 06:21
