Comments I use to run Laravel on Apache...

Make update

sudo apt update

Install Apache

sudo apt install apache2

Make sure your firewall statusu is updated

sudo ufw app list

Allow Apache

sudo ufw allow 'Apache'

Check status again

sudo ufw status

Check if Apache is active

sudo systemctl status apache2

Check your hostname

hostname -I

Make dir for project

sudo mkdir /var/www/laravel

Change owner of the project folder

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/laravel

Change permissions of project dir

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/laravel

Now is time to configure apaches  block.

We create new file in /etc/apache2/sites-available called laravel.conf

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/laravel.conf

in this file

laravel.config

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName 192.168.1.167
   ServerAdmin webmaster@thedomain.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public

   <Directory /var/www/laravel>
       AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Test for mistakes

sudo apache2ctl configtest

Disable default configuration

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

Enable ours site

sudo a2ensite laravel.conf

And restart again

sudo systemctl restart apache2

and finaly cd to folder for ours project

cd /var/www/laravel

and run composer to make this project

composer create-project laravel/laravel .
