root@linuxhelp:/opt# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/cubecart.conf

ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cubecart/
ServerName linuxhelp
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common

Change the Hostname in the configuration file before save and exit.

Restart the Apache web server to take effect.
