What does your Apache vhost look like?! Can't just say it's not working and expect anyone to go through 100 things that it could be.

Laravel noob and Freebsd
Hello, I am attempting to get my first Laravel app up and running, at this point I am just attempting to even get to the point where I can see the welcome screen. I am using Freebsd 10.2, apache24, mysql 5.7, and php 5.6. I have followed the documentation to the best of my knowledge and am at the point where I am able to type: laravel new testProject and it will create the project. However when I configure an apache24 vhost to point at the testProject and restart apache, I would expect that i would see the welcome screen when navigating to that domain, However, instead I just see the list of directories and files of the laravel project.
I have been googling around for a few days, I am sure I am just missing something simple and stupid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a pretty simple vhost, I am just trying to work with Laravel for the first time, since this is my first time, I don't know particularly where to look to debug this. Is there any other information I should provide?

Also, I am pretty sure its nothing to do with the Vhost, since its pointing at the correct document root just fine. Its just not showing me the expected route of / which if i understand correctly on a new unaltered project should be the welcome.blade.php template

you need to point this to the /public directory

False. It's not pointing to the correct docroot. Update thusly:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/laravelTest/public"
ServerName theriannet.zapto.org
ServerAlias *.theriannet.zapto.org
</VirtualHost>

Possibly freebsd's apache doesn't have AllowOverride set either so will ignore the htaccess as well. On that note, it's ages since I installed a *bsd - might do that on Friday afternoon to fill in the lunch -> beer o'clock time :-)

@ohffs I think default apache config enables allow override. But likewise, I've not used free/open/net BSD in ... 15+ years. You know, other than the apple flavor, since darwin is BSD after all.

@willvincent yeah - I think it's allowed by default too - but the bsd folk can be a bit more uptight about things ;-) The first *nix-a-like I ever used at home was FreeBSD so I've always had a soft spot for it. I used to use OpenBSD quite a bit at work for bastion-type hosts too - but it's installer was a bit of a pig (c2003) so I kind of fell out of using it as we were 90% Solaris at the time (with a bit of AIX and IRIX thrown in). Happy days... :-)

ahh solaris, that reminds me of self-hosting a website on an ultrasparc from my house for a while back in the day. :D
