Different landing pages for the same domain VPS - apache

I have a self-managed VPS server with no control panel running Ubuntu. I managed to point my domain to the server successfully. Then I installed apache2. I created an index landing page in directory:
var/www/gci/
By default system created another directory with default index landing page:
var/www/html/
Then I edited the gci.conf under directory:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/
to include the following lines:
ServerAdmin myemail
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName burooq.com
The whole file contents is as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin myemail
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName burooq.com
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
My issue is basically, when I access my domain using http://Burooq.com, it lands on the index page under gci folder. However, when I use https://Burooq.com, it lands on the index page under html folder. How is that possible and how would I point both request to one landing page.

IP Address showing instead of Domain apache server

I just purchased a domain from GoDaddy, let's call it example.com. I set up my A record and CNAME to properly point to my home IP address (see picture below) where I run an Apache2 server on my Raspberry Pi.
My 000-default.conf file is as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
Options All
Require all granted
# Any other directives
</Directory>
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.

</VirtualHost>

I have searched the internet for hours and even asked another question on StackOverflow to where I thought the problem was resolved, however after about an hour of restarting the Apache2 service on the Raspberry Pi, it goes back to showing my home IP Address in the address bar instead of my newly purchased domain. I have tried restarting the service multiple times but I always end up with the same result. Flushing DNS on my devices does nothing, too. How can I make it so that it always shows my domain in the address bar?
Make sure that in your Domain provider (GoDaddy for example) that you aren't forwarding to your IP address. Instead, forward to your domain.

Apache does not pick up default index file when I enter domain name

I installed an ubuntu server 16.04 and LAMP, it works very well and I can load default web by using ip address.
Also I created a new virtual host by domain synappse.ir. If I enter synappse.ir/index.html, it loads the page and there is not any issue but when I enter just the name of the domain without index.php, it can not find or load the index.html file!
Here is my config file for virtual host :
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating

# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com

Is there any other configuration for enabling this feature?
Sorry, pages were cached, every thing is ok.

Is it possible to use the same dns for 2 webapps

I'm currently in the process of configuring 2 third party apps for a game called EVE Online, one of them is Pathfinder and the other is a corporation management app.
for example if I want to access Pathfinder my URL would be "mydomain.com/pathfinder", but if wanted to access the other app my URL would be "mydomain.com/otherapp".
Pathfinder is located in the DocumentRoot folder (/var/www/pathfinder) and the other app should be in the Document Root folder aswell (/var/www/otherapp)

And when i try to get access to localhost in firefox i get this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
But when i set DocumentRoot to default directory it works. Please help.
Does the Apache user (usually apache or nobody) have permissions to that directory? Make sure you have at least o+r permissions on the directory.
Solution from OP.
I was need change directory in apache2.conf too.
Here is code what I was need to change in apache2.conf file:
<Directory /home/pc/www/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

Apache works on localhost but not on server name

As my user id suggests, I am a novice programmer.
I am trying a simple Apache server configuration in ubuntu,
I have created below .conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/awesome.conf with below code. Also I have created a symbolic link in /etc/apache2/sites-enable and restarted the Apache.
<VirtualHost *:80>

when I access localhost/awesome/hello.php I get the desired text "Hello World".
But when I type www.myawesome.org it dispays below message:
"Server not found"
Any help/guidance is appreciated.
Regards....
You need to edit the hosts file and add the ServerName here pointing to localhost
Open hosts file with:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
...and at the end of this file add:
127.0.0.1 www.myawesome.org
