I dont want on ubuntu 14.0.4 like this https://localhost/joomla

I am stumble to understand about /var/www/html

can you please tell me how to install directly to root no after directory

Ubuntu 14.04 uses Apache 2.4 which have different DocumentRoot than older versions.

You can change the default DocumentRoot path in the httpd.conf file

 

Cant find httpd.conf

Cant find httpd.conf at /etc/apache2/
only apache2.conf

can you help

 

Sorry it is apache2.conf
Please change the document root path there.o

 

Please help

Am I adding or am I modifiying?
I didnt see anything like /var/www/html path at all
Can you give your .conf sample

I know how to put http://localhost/joomla
but I dont know how to do http://joomla

Thanks

 

Sometime before I installed joomla in Ubuntu 14.04
Check this http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-joomla-on-ubuntu-14.04

 

Srijan,
Your link is showing http://192.168.1.x/joomla/index.php

I know how to do that.

I want to make as when I type http://localhost it it will be showing my website like http://localhost/index.php not http://localhost/joomla/index.php

See my original question

I have running joomla on my local like
http://192.168.1.111/joomla/index.php

I don't want this

what I want is http://192.168.1.111/index.php

 

Edit the file

Find the line for DocumentRoot and then change the default as per your desired path.
