How To Move an Apache Web Root to a New Location

The Apache2 web server typically stores its documents in `/var/www/html` by default. This directory is located on the root filesystem with the rest of the operating system. You may want to move the document root to another location, such as a separate mounted filesystem. For example, if you serve multiple websites from the same Apache instance, putting each site’s document root on its own volume allows you to scale in response to the needs of a specific site or client.
