Do you have a .htaccess file in your webroot directory (/var/www/html/.htaccess)?

Can you please edit your last post to fix the backticks? The top of the first file got cutoff.

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:06pm

sorry I have edited the post thank you

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:09pm

I don't have the .htaccess file i have checked

griffin · June 12, 2021, 6:14pm

Remove the bad configuration.

sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Fix the good configuration.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Replace $domain in the ServerName and ServerAlias with guesthost.tech

Enable the good configuration.

sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf

Reload Apache.

sudo apachectl -k graceful

Check the status.

sudo apachectl -S

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:17pm

how to :

Replace $domain in the ServerName and ServerAlias with guesthost.tech
after I have executed the command

griffin · June 12, 2021, 6:18pm

That command should bring up the nano text editor to make the changes.

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:22pm

root@wordpress-ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc3-01:~# sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf
Enabling site 000-default.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl reload apache2

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:23pm

I Reload apache or I run the command ?

griffin · June 12, 2021, 6:23pm

Just go to the next step. It instructs you to gracefully reload apache with a different command.

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:24pm

oki =) I must learn to code I adore this =)

ayoub987 · June 12, 2021, 6:25pm
