Ubuntu LAMP stack | Localhost not displaying

I'm new to Linux and servers so please have patience. I did search for a solution, prior to posting this. I did find ONE question that was similar, but not the same and there was no solution so I am posting, asking in a different way, in hopes of finding the what's causing the problem as well as a solution to said problem.

Problem:

"" will not display anything in browser after LAMP install.

I followed instructions to a "T" and everything installed properly. I can access 127.0.0.1, phpmyadmin, apache, etc. but when I try to view "localhost" in the browser, I literally get nothing but a blank white page.

I have added # ServerName 127.0.0.1 localhost to the apache.conf file.

I am able to view localhost/phpmyadmin just fine but no .

Thanks.

I found the solution.

I went to folder: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and changed this line: DocumentRoot /var/www/html to DocumentRoot /var/www

and then I went to file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and changed this line: <Directory /var/www/html> to <Directory /var/www/>
