Requesting help with Hostname + LAMP + Webmin installation
Also, I have no previous knowledge about any of this and I am trying to learn as I go.
I followed the "getting started" guide.
As instructed, I created a hostname and made the neccesary changes.
Set up the DNS. I set the nameservers to linodes' i.e. ns1.linode.com, etc.
I created an A record for something.mydomain.com
Installed the LAMP stack.
Installed Webmin.
When I type mydomain.com as the url, I get a page with the file directory. The "Index of/" page and there are no files.
When I type something.mydomain.com I get the apache2 "It works page".
Webmin is accessed through
From my undersanding, the "something.mydomain.com" is a FQDN. However I want my website to be simply "mydomain.com". How would I go about doing this?
Also, when I access things through ftp or webmin's file manager I was expecting a /public_html folder where the website files would go, but I cannot find it.
I hope that was clear.

As far as I can tell you've installed the LAMP environment just fine.
To confirm, try uploading something to the /public_html
I'm almost 100% sure that you'll see whatever it is, you've uploaded.
As a short term measure, you could create a symbolic link to your webmin.
But don't forget to secure, access to that directory.
