As said by Neo, you have to change DocumentRoot directive
1. Copy default configuration file safety point of view $ sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/mynewsite
2. Edit $ vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/mynewsite
3. Change DocumentRoot /var/www to DocumentRoot /your/new/path/to/site
4. Replace <Directory /var/www/> with <Directory /your/new/path/to/site/>
5. Deactivate old and activate new site $ sudo a2dissite default && sudo a2ensite mynewsite
6. Restart Apache $ sudo service apache2 restart

a2dissite
A2ENSITE(8) System Manager's Manual A2ENSITE(8)
NAME
a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host
SYNOPSIS
a2ensite [ [-q|--quiet] site]
a2dissite [ [-q|--quiet] site]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the a2ensite and a2dissite commands.
a2ensite is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the apache2 configuration. It does this
by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Likewise, a2dissite disables a site by removing those symlinks. It is not an
error to enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.
Apache treats the very first virtual host enabled specially as every request not matching any actual directive is being redirected there.
Thus it should be called 000-default in order to sort before the remaining hosts to be loaded first.
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Don't show informative messages.
-m, --maintmode
Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated automatically by a maintainer script. This switch should
not be used by end users.
-p, --purge
When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state data base.
EXIT STATUS
a2ensite and a2dissite exit with status 0 if all sites are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
EXAMPLES
a2dissite 000-default
Disables the default site.
FILES
/etc/apache2/sites-available
Directory with files giving information on available sites.
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Directory with links to the files in sites-available for enabled sites.

apache2ctl(8).
