Apache 'Directory Alias' not working in vagrant Homestead

In attempting to replicate our production servers on my local machine I have created a 'Directory Alias' in Homestead's VirtualHost conf. However, regardles of the many settings I try from various Stackoverflow posts, I keep getting the same 404 not found response in the browser. Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this?

In Homestead I have swapped Nginx for Apache and restructured the location of the server root and project files to match our production servers. Here is my Homestead.yaml file:

---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    - map: /Users/johno/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk
      to: /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk

sites:
    - map: homestead.client1.co.uk
      to: /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/public
      type: apache

databases:
    - project_two

# ports:
#     - send: 50000
#       to: 5000
#     - send: 7777
#       to: 777
#       protocol: udp

And here is my vhosts file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName homestead.client1.co.uk
    ServerAlias www.homestead.client1.co.uk
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/public

    <Directory /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

# code added

        Alias /project-one /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/public
        <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/public">
            Options None
            AllowOverride All
            Order Deny,Allow
            Allow from all
        </Directory>

# code added

    <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
        AddHandler php7.3-fcgi .php
        Action php7.3-fcgi /php7.3-fcgi
        Alias /php7.3-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7.3
        FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7.3 -socket /var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_fastcgi.c>
        <IfModule mod_proxy_fcgi.c>
            <FilesMatch ".+\.ph(ar|p|tml)$">
                SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
            </FilesMatch>
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/homestead.client1.co.uk-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/homestead.client1.co.uk-access.log combined

    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

The only amend I have made to the vhost is the addtion of code between # code added.

I've placed an index.php file in the server root displaying phpinfo();:

vagrant@homestead:~$ ls -la /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/public/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant  96 Sep  8 05:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant 160 Sep  8 05:07 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant  17 Sep  7 05:10 index.php

In the browser I can visit http://homestead.client1.co.uk/index.php and successfully see the output of this, so the server is working fine.

However, if I request the 'Alias' directory using http://homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/index.php I recieve a 404 not found response.

I can confirm the project files are in the location specified in the vhost alias and the permissions are set correctly:

vagrant@homestead:~$ ls -la /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/public/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant   192 Sep  7 06:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant    96 Sep  7 06:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant    96 Sep  7 06:41 css
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant   480 Sep  7 06:41 images
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant 24679 Sep  7 06:40 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant    96 Sep  7 06:40 libs

As you can see , 'project-one' is NOT a laravel framework, it is a simple static landing page for testing purposes.

Any help troubleshooting would be great, thanks.

Solution

  • Does error log show anything? Can you try adding Require All Granted under project-one alias like below:

    Alias /project-one /srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/public
<Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/homestead.client1.co.uk/project-one/public">
      Options None
      AllowOverride All
      Order Deny,Allow
      Allow from all
      Require all granted
</Directory>
