Hi there,

What I could suggest is checking your Apache error log to see if you would get some more information there:

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

Also, could you share your Apache Vhost configuration here?

Hello, @kisteneducation

Are you using LEMP or LAMP stack? You can follow @bobbyiliev suggestion and check the Apache error_log and for Nginx you can also check the error_log using this command:

  1. sudo tail -100 /var/log/nginx/error.log

You can share the Apache/Nginx config files too.
