Recover /var/www/html

Question

So I made a huge mistake and accidently removed /var/www/html and cant restart apache2.. is the content of /var/www/html static or can I copy it from somewhere. Ive just started today with installing my first ubuntu 14.04 webserver (took me alot of hours) and have not made a backup because I was finishing the installation proces. I also looked for an command to fix packages, I tried sudo apt-get but it didn't fix the /var/www/html folder unfortunately

As you have just started hopefully there is no important file in /var/www/html. You can simply make this directory by following command.

sudo mkdir /var/www/html

Additionaly you reconfigure apache2 by following command

sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2

If you need to recover the deleted files follow this thread on How to recover deleted files?

Are there any docs or something that describe file contents, couldn't find any of them. – Sven van den Boogaart Jun 06 '15 at 18:14
