The site isn't functioning properly on your Ubuntu system.
The site isn't functioning properly on your Ubuntu system.
the server i purchased is disconnected from my local computer and the domain i bought isn't connected to my machine in any way, not even in the dns settings. I set up a virtual host using apache, but I wasn't aware it was a virtual host meant for my local setup only. That's probably why the site functions on other devices except the one i tried to use, and i removed apache with those commands: sudo apt-get purge apache2 and sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-utils
The site functions across various devices regardless of the Ubuntu system being used
Explore the directories where Apache was set up and eliminate any remnants that could continue operating... possibly /var/www/html/ or /etc/apache2/ if access is denied, right-click and select 'Open directory in terminal'... utilize the 'rm' command to remove them...
Do you actually have a web page in /var/www/html/ ? Did you reload the apache service as the guide suggested? Also does this mean you skipped step 4?
Thank you for the response, but I already figured it out. See the last comment I posted prior to yours.
