Im pretty new to serverside and just made my first droplet, so please forgive me if I’ve missed something obvious here.
My problem is that when i type domain into browser it doesent go to proper (var/www/mydomain/public_html) index.html file and it just goes to index of /. I can see the right folder but and with clicking the right index.html file appears on the browser.
So far i have made theese things:
- setup dns settings
- put website folder var/www
- removed default .conf file and added mydomain.conf
- symlink with putty for /etc/apache2/sites-available
- restarted apache server
Conf file looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/mydomain/public_html
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
ErrorLog /var/www/suomenyachtcenter/logs/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/www/suomenyachtcenter/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

For so far I know how your directory setup is, this vhost loosks good. Probably something went wrong with created a symlink manually. You don’t have to do this, just create a vhost file in the apache sites-available and then use
sudo a2ensite <vhost file name>
Then when your site is enabled, restart apache sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Hope this will work for you now.
