Out of interest, is your default 000-default.conf site still enabled?
ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to see if it’s there.
The optional redirect I have there relies on the 000-default site being disabled with sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf and an apache reload/restart. I don’t know why, but I didn’t include that in the guide (edited now). I can confirm that prior to disabling that, it wouldn’t redirect, but as soon as I did + apache restart, it worked fine.
An interesting one for me; I followed my own tutorial and everything was going fine up until pretty URLs, which enabled but failed to work (displaying directory listing instead) - on inspection, everything above “Do not edit above this line” in .htaccess was missing.
Adding that in resolved.
Any idea why the htaccess didn’t generate correctly @LukasReschke @tflidd @nickvergessen?
