I was trying to install prestashop 1.6.0.2 with the help of following tutorial http://blobmarket.com/blog/en/install-prestashop-1-6-on-a-digital-ocean-vps.html#.VGWetfmUcc0
Everything went fine and I was able to view to store on <my IP address>/<foldername> where the folder name was in /var/www .
Now I wanted to configure my domain name to the droplet IP and hence I then changed my name servers to digital ocean nameservers and added a domain to the droplet. Then I added the ‘@’ Record and a CNAME record for the www
Next step was to change the virtual host file. So I created a backup of 000-default.conf file Then changed it which is as follows
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@2dayhiker.com
ServerName 2dayhiker.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/2dayhiker
</VirtualHost>
I saved the file as 2dayhiker.com.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
Then I ran
a2dissite 000-default.conf
a2ensite 2dayhiker.com.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
Everything was fine until now but now when I open 2dayhiker.com in my browser
- It changes the addressbar to <my-ip>/2dayhiker.com/index.php?
- It shows error that the index.php is not found.
What can be the problem for this type of error. Is there any permission problem because I have tried giving all the permissions (777) and it s still not serving.
I also ran the following command
chown -R root:www-data /var/www/2dayhiker
just to test but no success?

It sounds like prestashop is configured with your old URL so when a request is received it is redirected to what prestashop thinks should be the default web address.
You can edit this in your database. Look for the table that ends with _shop_url and edit the line in there to match the URL you wish to use. Once this is done the redirect should stop causing problems.
