laravel project not loading css with apache artisan serve working fine

Question

I've created a Laravel Project, which I have deployed previously with apache2, and working great.

As I finished with my latest deployment, I found that no external CSS was being loaded when I was done with. So I did a check on all step many times over, but I don't think I have missed on anything.

However, upon running with php artisan serve everything works fine.

Here is my virtual_host config file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@project
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/public/index.php
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DirectoryIndex index.php

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

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

yes..tried everything with reload, emptied cache also. Nothing worked. — vish4071

You have set your DocumentRoot to the index.php file. You should set it to the folder instead. So it should be DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/public — Niklas S.

in console check what error you are getting while loading css and js files — Shailendra Gupta

In virtualhost configuration, you should try using

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@project
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/public
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DirectoryIndex index.php

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

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Remove public folder from <Directory> and also remove index.php from DocumentRoot.

DocumentRoot I understand, but why do I need to remove public from directory? This worked tho :|
