However when I go to MyDebianWebserver.online I get a folder view with a folder of my webpage (MyDebianWebserver.online) which if I click then produces a url of MyDebianWebserver.online/MyDebianWebserver.online
The easiest solution I can think of is simply to redirect the MyDebianWebserver.online requests to www.MyDebianWebserver.online and voila that should solve it.
My problem here is I have been tinkering with the files under /etc/apache2/sites-available as well as the .htaccess file under the root folder of my phpbb project.
This is the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/MyDebianWebServer.online.conf
Code: Select all
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName MyDebianWebserver.online
ServerAlias www.MyDebianWebserver.online
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =MyDebianWebserver.online [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.MyDebianWebserver.online
#RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MyDebianWebserver.online$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.MyDebianWebserver.online/$1 [R=301,L]
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>And this is the .htaccess file under root folder of phpbb project
Code: Select all
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MyDebianWebserver.online [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MyDebianWebserver.online$1 [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

# Uncomment the statement below if URL rewriting doesn't
# work properly. If you installed phpBB in a subdirectory
# of your site, properly set the argument for the statement.
# e.g.: if your domain is test.com and you installed phpBB
# in http://www.test.com/phpBB/index.php you have to set
# the statement RewriteBase /phpBB/
#
RewriteBase /MyDebianWebserver.online
