For this need alias directive of the "mod_alias" module.

Need configure the necessary directory using the Directory section, and add an alias (address) to this directory using the alias directive of the "mod_alias" module for Apache. Usually this module comes with the Apache web server and is already connected to it.

Directing a specific URL alias to a specific directory on the server:

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
	Alias /phpmyadmin/ "/var/srv/web/phpMyAdmin/"
</IfModule>

Set settings for a specific directory:

<Directory "/var/srv/web/phpMyAdmin">
	AllowOverride All
	Options +FollowSymlinks +Indexes
	Require all granted
</Directory>
