@AlanSk also ensure laravel is correctly setup (folder structure), see:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/500-server-error-in-production

That may not be your problem, but it's always a good start point.

@jlrdw Hey, just took my time to really review it and I think it is setup correctly. Here is my VirtualHost, but still when accessing it by the browser, I cant display it if I dont go in my public foldar manually https://prnt.sc/duS4V0YE5Dqd

I followed this guide from start to finish

sure ?

last line : Now, open your website and type the URL https://laravel.example.com

You can chose an other name but it must be defined with "servername" and your dns (or localy via /etc/hosts) must be setup

Here is my /etc/hosts file https://prnt.sc/vao1F2dUuoON

Here is the result of accessing the page by this-is-a-test.dev https://prnt.sc/GRjvci9adItx Here is the result of accesing the page by localhost(changing the virtualhost): https://prnt.sc/NP6xkFP-S2H3

And now somehow by accesing the public directory manually im able to see the web: https://prnt.sc/duS4V0YE5Dqd But im pointing to the /public directory

Level 39

Don't see the problem but difficult to follow with image. Copy/paste in this forum (code between 3 `) , it's easier to read and it'll remain for future reads.

Level 39

http://this-is-a-test.dev still cant make it work

What's the result? Any error in your logs?

Level 1

@sr57 I was just watching the index of / page. Below Snapey just told me to run a2ensite and it just started working... Now just the links are broken, but at least now I have something to work with hehe

Really appreciate your help tho

Level 39

Ok, but before your answered Yes to the same question :-)

Yes: https://prnt.sc/z1wFl-xULRpr ???

Level 1

@sr57 Is a2ensite with out any parameters the same that a2ensite laravel.conf?

To be honest I dont really know..

Level 39

No, without parameter it asks for the parameter (the vh conf file)

That said,, in your image, the result is "site laravel already enabled" that means that you had still run this cmd before and don't need to do it anymore ( the cmd simply creates a simlink in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled )

Its important to note that virtual hosts are matched by the name of the site you are requesting.

You must be able to route to the server using the chosen domain name

So if your virtual host says laravel.example.com then you MUST be able to access the server using this EXACT name.

If you do not have the domain name laravel.example.com, then you should create a local hosts table entry pointing that domain to the IP of the server.

Otherwise, your virtual hosts configuration will not even be considered.

did you run a2ensite so that the conf is symlinked into sites-enabled folder?
