Hi, i’m new to the development world. I just migrated a project from my computer(Windows local) to the server on cloud (VM Línux). I’m using a simple MVC based architecture. The question is:
1 - I did all necessery configiratios on httpd.conf file as:
DocumentRoot "/MyProject/public"
<Directory "/MyProject/public">
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
-#I uncommented the lines belowon.
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Include etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
2- In the httpd-vhosts.conf file i have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin my@email.com
DocumentRoot "/MyProject/public"
ServerName "MyServerName.com"
ErrorLog "logs/MyServerName.com-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/MyServerName.com-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
3- In my hosts file i added:
127.0.1.1 MyServerName.com
I’m not using any .htaccess file for application and if I should use it, I have no idea how to configure it. The project works fine on my local server (my computer), I’m using Xampp in both scenarios(Local and VM).
I just have an index.php file in the public directory with the following code:
require_once("../vendor/autoload.php");
$route = new \App\Route;
Any ideas on how to resolve this? Please! Thanks!

Hello,
Do you get any specific errors when visiting your website via your browser or is it just the 404 error?
Also, are your project files available in the /MyProject/public directory on your server? You could check this with the ls -la command:
ls -la /MyProject/public
Usually, what I do myself whenever I’m having issues with my webserver is to check the error logs. For Apache, the default location of the error log should be at:
cat /var/log/apache2/error.log
Best,
Bobby
