[CWB] [CQPweb] Final step? Getting Apache to point at CQPweb's root directory

[Scott Sadowsky]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the help. I do indeed want to change the document root, and I'm
aiming to install on a bare-metal machine. I've got two copies of
000-default.conf on a fresh Apache install, one in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/ and one in /etc/apache2/site-enabled/.  In
light of that, a few follow-up questions, surely glaringly obvious for
those with server experience, but alas...

1. Is /sites-enabled then the best place for the <Directory> directive for
the purposes I outlined above?

2. Is adding the <Directory> directive to the appropriate 000-default.conf
file enough to change the server's document root, or are additional steps
required?

3. Considering you recommend against virtual hosts, should I delete the
large <VirtualHost> entry that's already in both copies of 000-default.conf,
or just add the <Directory> directive before or after it?

4. And finally, is the following correct?

<Directory "/var/www/html/cqpweb">
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
    Options FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

I ask because the your manual and Stefan's instruction document have
different options for AllowOverride, and also because Options
FollowSymlinks doesn't
appear in much documentation (in fact, I'm not sure where I got it from!).

Thanks in advance,
Scott
