I’m setting up my domain for access to the Apache server on my FreedomBox. The issue I’m having is that when I go to “[https://mydomain.xyz](https://mydomain.xyz)” it redirects to “[https://mydomain.xyz/plinth](https://mydomain.xyz/plinth)”.

The mydomain.xyz.conf has “Use FreedomBoxTLSSiteMacro mydomain.xyz” which sets “DocumentRoot /var/www/html”. Therefore, I would assume that “[https://mydomain.xyz](https://mydomain.xyz)” would display the “index.html” page, but as stated it brings up Plinth. (Going to “[https://mydomain.xyz/index.html](https://mydomain.xyz/index.html)” does display “index.html”.)

What is causing the redirect, and how do I adjust it?

I tried adding “DirectoryIndex index.html index.php”, but that didn’t help.

There is also [https://freedombox.local/plinth/sys/config/](https://freedombox.local/plinth/sys/config/) to show the apache default webroot (or a specific app) instead of the freedombox login.

If you manually edit freedombox-apache-homepage.conf, it is okay. However, if you edit freedombox.conf, FreedomBox will no longer automatically upgrade to newer versions.

Thanks. This worked!
