Hi there @arg6063,

I could suggest a couple of things:

Make sure that the new document root that you are using is writable for Apache:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html

Check your Apache error logs for more information:

tail -100 /var/log/apache/error.log

Also, did you clone your existing website or was it a new WordPress website that you setup?

Regards,
Bobby

  To do so you can follow the steps here:
