404 Error Ubuntu apache error (URGENT)

Posted on March 30, 2019

Hey,

I’m fairly new in setting up a server and I’m sorry in advance for not being as techinically detailed with my problem but here is the gist of my problems.

So just 4 days ago I created my droplet for my WordPress site following this tutorial. https://www.wpexplorer.com/install-wordpress-digitalocean/

It worked perfectly at first and I begin working on the site installing a theme and got some considerate work done. Then, the very next day the site was working through the domain (which is the IP address) however the wp-admin wasn’t. Then, I tried logging into the console of Digital Ocean and it asked me to enter my username and password yet again; it basically functioned like I was creating a site for the first time again. It asked me to set up my domain (again) and I chose the same IP address for domain. However, this time the site didn’t load at all giving me the error

NOT FOUND

The requested URL was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at (myurl) Port 80

I tried basically every single tutorial on YouTube with no success.

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

I’ve already set AllowOverride to All.

And I basically did everything it seems to running correctly I just can’t access it. help please.

Please help I need an answer ASAP.

Hi @mrjustinyoung991,

It seems like your Apache configuration was changed. Please post the Apache configuration file for the domain as moisey replied. If you are unsure where you can find the conf file, you can try with

whereis apache2

or

locate domain.com.conf
