Hosting magento 2 on own linux server

[keenan_simpson]

Good day,

Can anyone please assist me, i followed all the steps to install magento 2 successfully but cannot get my hosted site on my custom domain. 

Error "the page you displaying cannot be redirected".

I have done the following already in magento/DB:

web/unsecure/base_url = http://www.mydomain.co.za

web/secure/base_url = http://www.mydomain.co.za

Highly appreciate if anyone can confirm the correct steps for a linux machine.

Regards,

Keenan

Hello @keenan_simpson,

There is look like the domain is pointed with hosting root directory. Please go to domain root directory and create any file and execute in the browser. If it not executed then contact hosting provider to locate this issue.

Have you done with clear cache after changing these URLs, please run once php bin/magento cache:flush and then try again.

Thanks Manish, i came far as getting the site redirected to my domain name.

I'm not sure if my config file for apache is configured correctly, i think the rewrite rules might be an issue here. See attached screenshot. The "url" /magento was not found on the server.

Highly appreciate your assistance

Regards,

Keenan

Hello @keenan_simpson

I can not find attached screenshot, can you please share 3rd party link for image so I can check or if your thinking rewrite rules issue in htacess. you can just replace your htaccess with fresh magento htacess.

Or share more details so I can help.

Sorry about that, please use the below link to access uploaded image.

My apache configuration is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName mydomain.co.za
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/magento
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is there anything that needs to be changed, if possible can you forward me the default .htaccess file. I've currently got the magento setup running on my own linux machine. (also where it should be placed in)

e.g. /var/www/html/magento

[Manish Mittal]

Virtual host seems okay, please try with attached .htacess.

Donr forget point NameServer of your domain to your home computer IP address in your domain panel.

Hello @keenan_simpson,

Please create phpinfo.php file in root directory and add below command in it 

<?php
phpinfo();

If it executes then you have in Magento issue otherwise your domain is not pointed with your hosting.

Your screen shot shows engagegc.co.za yet your server config is using mydomain.co.za, which is your actual domain name?
