I successfully deployed a Laravel application on Apache Ubuntu 20.04 in Digital Ocean, everything was fine until I installed CertBot software to configure HTTPS on my Apache server. After installing and setting up certbot, when i visit the homepage via HTTPS:// link, it works fine but when I tried to visit other pages via HTTPS:// link, i get the error below:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at mysite.com Port 443
I followed the guide in this link: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04
Below is my Apache Config files
mysite.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite.com/mysite-web-app/public
<Directory /var/www/mysite.com/mysite-web-app/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.mysite.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mysite.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
mysite.com-le-ssl.conf
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

You must include this in the ssl conf as well:
<Directory /var/www/mysite.com/mysite-web-app/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
Or the .htaccess won’t work for https connections.
