I have settled up a personal mediawiki website with an external ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. It is based on Apache2.0.

The weird thing is:

I can visit the site through url http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php/Main_Page, but I cannot via http://my-google-domain-url/index.php/Main_Page

Then, I checked again for my google domain settings, I set in Custom records: the host name being my-google-domain-url and the data is the ipv4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

After that, I notice I can visit the website via http://my-google-domain-url/mediawiki, it will automatically jump to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php/Main_Page, while if I try to visit http://my-google-domain-url, it will be the default page of Apache.

P.S. I am following the tutorial from https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-mediawiki-on-ubuntu-1804/#requirements in my media wiki settings.

I really don't know what to do? Does anyone know what might be going on here?

You need to change the document root in your Apache configuration file, then restart Apache so that the changes apply.

DocumentRoot "/folder/subFolder/SubFolder"
