I am self hosting my own web server using apache2 with the service "
[afraid.org](https://afraid.org)" so i can use my domain that i had
back when i was paying for a VPS. I also have another domain I would
like to use but  not pointing to the /var/html/www as the other
domain. is there some file i have to edit like how its done if adding
domains to WHM/cPanel? like when you add a domain in cPanel is uses a
folder with the name of the domain and that domain using whats in the
folder.

Read the Apache docs, it’s all in there.

The apache2 setting you're looking for is DocumentRoot together with
Directory. And maybe VirtualHost or Named Host or ServerAlias.

Depending how your webserver is configured now (using the default
apache2 host?), you might want to add either a NamedHost or a
VirtualHost with the new DocumentRoot.

Can't tell you how to do it via cPanel, but those settings are
available in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf or the like

It's common to have separate folders for different webservices like
/var/www/html/yourwebservice.

Yes I got it all figured out. Had to make 2 different conf files for
the site both pointing to their own directory.

Yes I should have. But I ended up forgetting about posting here and
googled it.
