# Changing Your ownCloud URL

This admin manual assumes that the ownCloud server is already accessible under the route `/owncloud` (which is the default, e.g. `https://example.com/owncloud`). If you like, you can change this in your web server configuration, for example by changing it from `https://example.com/owncloud/` to `https://example.com/`.

To do so on Debian/Ubuntu Linux, you need to edit these files:

- `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf`
- `/var/www/owncloud/config/config.php`

Edit the `Alias` directive in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf` to alias your ownCloud directory to the Web server root:

    Alias / "/var/www/owncloud/"

Edit the `overwrite.cli.url` parameter in `/var/www/owncloud/config/config.php`:

    'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://localhost/',

When the changes have been made and the file saved, restart Apache. Now you can access ownCloud from either `https://example.com/` or `https://localhost/`.

Note

Note that you will not be able to run any other virtual hosts, as ownCloud is aliased to your web root. On CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat, edit `/etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud.conf` and `/var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php`, then restart Apache.
