I upgraded Moodle 1.9 to 2.2.3 (debian).
When I go to http://moodle.mysite.com it shows:
Index of/
moodle/
othersites/
I can click on the moodle directory and go straight to moodle.
or I can enter http://moodle.mysite.com/moodle
How do I disable indexing and go straight to moodle when I enter http://moodle.mysite.com?
I am able to fix this by bringing the files of the moodle directory up one level (cp -p /var/www/moodle/* /var/www).
I'd prefer it if I could change a config to point to /var/www/moodle instead.
Sounds like document root as defined by apache config file is /var/www/ and that in the apache config, directory indexing is on ... which one could turn off.
Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Using a text editor, remove the 'Indexes' and restart apache.
/etc/init.d/apache restart
Might consider creating an auto-forwarding default page (index.html - or however you've defined 'default pages') that forwards to the moodle directory.

I removed the "Indexes" prior and restarted apache but that did not diable indexing.
Thanks for the advice and links.
You can do that in a number of ways by redirecting or rewriting the root directory to the /moodle subdirectory using .htaccess or any number of different methods. For a simple redirect you could create index.php in the root directory of your site with just this line in it:
header('Location: /moodle/');
