ServerName 192.168.1.105

ServerName

The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that the server uses to identify itself. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName specifies what hostname must appear in the request’s Host: header to match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

Domain name matches IP, to find your server, but the serverName will match the website(sub path in you server) domain name.

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "192.168.1.105"){
  $CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://192.168.1.105';
  $CFG->dbhost    = 'localhost';
}

Default Configuration

The default config file - 000-default.conf allows every sub folder of /var/www/http can be accessed by using url like IP/{folder-name}.
