Apache Virtual Host isn't Serving Virtual Host 'index.html' at Domain Name-CodePudding

When I go to my ip address an index file is served. However when I navigate to my domain name a page isn't served. Apache won't serve content from my (domain name) web directory.

I don't plan to install PHP or a Database until the virtual hosts implementation is legit.

I've reinstalled my image more times than I can count to get my websites migrated to a virtual server. The biggest sticking point is configuring the virtual hosts. My latest attempt was using this blog article: https://www.tecmint.com/install-apache-with-virtual-hosts-on-debian-10/

Before that it was this article in previous attempts: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mariadb-php-lamp-stack-on-debian-10

I looked at this article too: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-debian-10/

I saw mentions of a user called www-data during my internet search but it isn't mentioned in the three blog posts I cited.

My hosting company keeps telling me to use Plesk but they didn't configure the shared hosting environment for the migration extension. So I can't use Plesk to migrate and they charge me a monthly fee for the Plesk license if it is installed on the image.

This probably is not the correct answer, but I went into my file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf and changed the lines from:

#<VirtualHost *:80>
<VirtualHost *:8888>
 #DocumentRoot /var/www/html
 DocumentRoot /home/MyPath/Drives/02000/www

I looked at the domain name in other browsers and Chrome is forcing HTTPS at my request. I didn't get around to reinstalling the SSL/TLS because of the confusion with the virtual hosts. So basically the page has been live the entire time but Chrome wouldn't connect because a secure connection was unavailable.
