I had a prestashop(1.7) site located to /var/www/html (centos 8, apache web server).
I created as per most commmon instructions two virtual hosts pointed to /var/www/sites
/var/www/sites/site1/html and /var/www/sites/site2/html
when i place an index.html file i can see both files (rather the hello world text). but when i copy the whole prestashop to the /var/www/sites/site1/html it does not work. i get the 500 error.
the path in the ps_shop_url is / and the domain and domain_ssl is as it was before site1.(the virtual hosts work since I can see the index pages remember?)
what else shall i configure in prestashop files in order to be able to see the shop?
thanks and regards, Alex
Make sure to clear the whole /var/cache directory after migrating the files, if this doesn't help try enabling Prestashop dev_mode (https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/installation/configuration/) or investigate your webserver error_log to see what's behind the error 500
