However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the Tell apache to point to a subfolder as default starting point for public error on your web browser. Problem :

What would be the different methods of telling Apache to serve up httpdocs/public instead of httpdocs as the default starting point?

I want to be able to have my includes and logs directories behind the publicly accessible folder.

I know that htaccess is possible, but I've seen a file before that looked something like httpdocs => public ... I could be off, but it was some kind of pointer.

[httpdocs]
-[includes]
-[logs]
-[public] <-- what's served up to the public
--index.php

Solution :

In your Apache configuration file, find a line with 'DocumentRoot' and modify accordingly.

EDIT:

Regarding your comment, then you're looking for this:

DocumentRoot httpdocs/public/

Though for the virtual-hosts request,

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@sitename.com
        ServerName www.sitename.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/sitename #STILL DOCUMENTROOT!!!
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/sitename/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_sitename.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_sitename.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Though note still, it uses the DocumentRoot directive. You can have as many sites as you want. Modify the paths to match the httpdocs/public directory, and I assume that inside /public/ there will be directories for other virtual hosts?

If this isn't what you wanted, please re-phrase your question.
