I was following this tutorial on connecting domains and setting up Apache virtual hosts. However, when I try to reach my domain, I get ERREMPTYRESPONSE. I’ve tried a few fixes after searching around including altering the apache2.conf <Directory> blocks “AllowOverride” settings and adding my own to the domain name .conf file.

My configuration looks as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName skasandbox.com
    ServerAlias www.skasandbox.com
    ServerAdmin admin@skasandbox.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/skasandbox.com/public_html
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

The directory settings I tried (inside said file) were:

    <Directory /var/www/ssandbox.com/public_html/>
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
    </Directory>

There is a basic index.html file inside /var/www/ssandbox.com/public_html. I’ve set up an A record for bot @ and www pointing to my Droplet IP Adress. I can ping the site and get a response from the droplet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not know what I’m doing wrong as most information for setting this up is nearly identical to the Digital Ocean tutorial.
