This site can’t be reached Laravel and Digitalocean

Look at the server log and laravel log to start with.. And does D.O. have separate logs.

Also See this D.O. article:

@jlrdw I got this error when I run this command:

systemctl status apache2.service

Seems you are trying to use a port that is already in use. I assume port 80?

Address already in use

@sinnbeck my nginx config:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/html/asu/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name 18.XXXXX5.172;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
            deny all;
    }
}

So you have both apache2 and nginx installed? Choose one, and remove the other :)

@sinnbeck I don't know! but in the steps, I did not install apache2 and this is the steps that I follow to install the whole things

Ok. Seems that the server already has apache2 installed

This will remove it.

sudo apt purge apache2

@sinnbeck Thank you so much you save my life ::::::)

Good to hear :) And happy to help
