Problems with virtualhost and alias Laravel 5.4 - php

Question

I am trying to use a virtualhost with an alias to deploy a Laravel application.
Using apache2 in ubuntu 16.04.
My 000.conf file is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/public
Alias /expediente "/var/www/public/"
<Directory /var/www/public/>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
The first one is working ok but the second one does not.
What am I doing wrong?
==============
EDIT
Ok so i made two conf files in sites available and symlinked them to sites-enabled.
advanced.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost
ServerName ip-address:80/advanced
ServerAlias /advanced
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/advanced
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
expediente.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost
ServerName ip-address:80/expediente
ServerAlias /expediente
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Reloaded and restarted apache2.
If i try to navigate to ip-address/ i get the first page, the advanced,
If i try to navigate to ip-address/advanced 404 not found
If i try to navigate to ip-address/expediente 404 not found
What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

its good practice create different host file for your alias. you can use this command to copy default config for your second alias with this command
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
and open it in whichever editor you like and put this content
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
save and close the file then run this command
sudo a2ensite example.com.conf
and restart your apache

Answer 2

You gonna need ServerName in your virtual hosts configurations, its probably always defaulting to the first one without that. For example
ServerName mydomain.net

Answer 3

Si tus proyecto esta de la forma http://localhost/AppName, entonces debes colocar en el httpd.conf
<VirtualHost site1.local:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/htdocs/site1
ServerName www.site1.local
ServerAlias site1.com
</VirtualHost>
y el segundo.
<VirtualHost site2.local:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/htdocs/site2
ServerName www.site2.local
ServerAlias site2.com
</VirtualHost>
