I currently set up ssl certificate for my website using certbot for my apache server running on Ubuntu 16.04. I successfully installed the ssl certificate and now I can access my website by https://example.com
It might but I would also check that the path is proper and accessible.
Q1. What is the root folder for https://example.com/ ?
Q2. where is the laravel/public folder?
The paths should be similar and make sense, like:
A1 = /var/www/html/home
A2 = /var/www/html/home/laravel/public
or, for a better visual understanding
A2 = $A1/laravel/public
