Why is /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default returning blank?

I installed LAMP and phpmyadmin in my server. (Droplet in DigitalOcean)

I have problem in editing the file here sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

This returns an empty file.

I even tried sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default and it is also empty.

When I tried 

> ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled


    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 14  2013 000-default -> ../sites-available/000-default.conf

What might be the problem?

Solution

  • This did the work for me.

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

    Also edited the vhost with the following to enable .htaccess.

    <Directory /var/www/html/public/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
