Why doesn't my application run?

Posted on December 8, 2021

I have a MySQL database hosted on a droplet and an api that speaks to this database. This used to run then one day it just didn’t. I just get a 404 message now. The database is there, I can open it. The script to run is there. What am I possibly forgetting?

Hello,

What I could suggest is checking your Apache error log for more information:

sudo tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

Also what you could do is to verify that your Apache virtual host for this specific domain has the correct document root set, so that it matches the location where you’ve deployed your script to.

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
