How to replace Apache2's main page?

Question

How I can change Apache2's main page to a custom page of my own?

Remove the this file /var/www/html/index.html and add your own /var/www/html/myown.html — George Udosen, Oct 13 '18 at 14:07

Simply remove the file /var/www/html/index.html and replace it with your own /var/www/html/myown.html, and restart apache. Or simply replace the contents of the /var/www/html/index.html with yours.

NOTE:

Your file will also be called index.html not myown.html as I have used it here!

Add yourself to the www-data group, then change file group ownership to www-data group, then restart apache and logout and login again! – George Udosen Oct 13 '18 at 18:22
