Move the cubecart directory into the /var/www/html directory.

linuxhelp ~ # mv cubecart/ /var/www/html/

Go to /var/www/html directory.

linuxhelp html # ls
cubecart

Change ownership and permission for the Cubecart directory.


linuxhelp html # chown -R www-data:www-data cubecart/ & &  chmod -R 775 cubecart/

We have to configure the virtual host for cubecart. Create an empty file named cube.conf.


linuxhelp html # cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
linuxhelp sites-available # vim cube.conf
 < virtualhost \*:80> 
servername  www.linuxhelp1.com
Documentroot  /var/www/html/cubecart
< Directory /var/www/html/cubecart> 
AllowOverride all
order allow,deny
allow from all
< /Directory> 
< /virtualhost>

Enable the cubecart.conf file as follows.


linuxhelp sites-available # a2ensite cube.conf 
Enabling site cube.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 reload

After that, make an entry to the host' s file.


linuxhelp sites-available # vim /etc/hosts
< give your ip>     < give your domain name>

Restart the Apache web server.


linuxhelp sites-available # systemctl restart apache2.service

Now you can proceed the further installation and configuration from the browser by navigating to the following URL: http://< ipaddress or domain name.
