Nothing on the Flarum works on my VPS. What do I do wrong?

Misaya

First of all I receive a 404 when I try to enter the admin area, although I am able to access it through mysite.com/admin.php. See error below.

Not Found

The requested URL /admin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at 81.4.103.36 Port 80

Now the funny part is - see for yoruself in the image:

404 when hitting the SEO friendly url means you don't have rewrite rules (.htaccess file missing or in nginx no configurations for url rewrites)
"Now the funny part is": you define a hostname in your config; flarum listens on that hostname, if you request the docroot with a different hostname (eg the ip) it will not know what to do because the hostname is not the same as the one configured.

There is no solution to your second question yet, because flarum is not built to be multi tenant or multi host.

luceos Do I need to change the hostname within my Apache2 config or Flarum? How do I make Flarum listening to the IP and not a domain? Thanks a lot for the answers!

My config file has:

    <Directory /var/www/html>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            DirectoryIndex index.php
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>

so it's allowing url rewrites.

Just checked my htaccess file and its:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteRule ^api(.)$ api.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^admin(.)$ admin.php [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I fixed it. My 000-default file consist of the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

@Misaya, what did you do to fix the problem precisely?
