Cannot navigate to laravel project via localhost using Apache - php

Question

I installed a laravel project to /home/user/development. The project is called rpm (/home/user/development/rpm). I also have another project that I have been using at /home/public_html. It's called mgmt (/home/user/public_html/mgmt). I can navigate just fine to mgmt via localhost/mgmt. It's conf file in sites-available is
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/
<Directory /home/user/public_html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Now my laravel project (rpm) does not work. Navigating to localhost/rpm gives a 404.
It's conf file looks like this
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/user/development/rpm/public/
Alias /rpm /home/user/development/rpm/public
<Directory /home/user/development/rpm/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
What could be the problem here? Both of those config files have symlinks in the sites-enabled folder.

Answer 1

Modify the first conf to this. Discard the second conf.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/
Alias /rpm /home/user/development/rpm/public
<Directory /home/user/public_html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /home/user/development/rpm/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rpm-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
