404 on new install

Not Found/404 when attempting to go to url
Running apache 2.4 on Debian 12

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Install staps

1. Clone repo and set the web root to lychee/public
2. Run composer install --no-dev
3. Run npm install to install
4. Run npm run build
5. Copy .env.example as .env and edited
6. php artisan key:generate
7. php artisan migrate
8. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data on lychee dir

navigated to my the url and saw a 404 page.

I'm missing a step related to my apache conf file for lychee

lychee.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName {same domain used in .env}

    DocumentRoot {webroot}/Lychee/public

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Followed along with https://lycheeorg.github.io/docs/installation.html#apache and https://lycheeorg.github.io/docs/upgrade.html#using-apache as possible.

No, this is not a bug, nor an issue.
This is part of the assumed knowledge when using Lychee or any other website when setting a web server.
Firefly-iii which is also based on Laravel does not even go that far, even in their managed server steps.

I do agree that there might be a little room for improvement on the install steps.
If you want to make this installation smoother, please open a pull request on https://github.com/LycheeOrg/LycheeOrg.github.io with the modifications you are thinking of.

With what knowledge that we've both established I am missing am I supposed to place into a PR? Thank you very much for slamming the door in my face.

You literally found what you were missing...

In /etc/apache2/site-enabled/lychee.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName {same domain used in .env}

    DocumentRoot {webroot}/Lychee/public

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

and in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/lychee.conf

<Directory /{webroot}/Lychee>
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
	Require all granted
</Directory>

Furthermore I re-read the instructions, they are extremely clear. Especially https://lycheeorg.github.io/docs/upgrade.html#using-apache . So yes I am sorry but I can't help you more than that.

And please make sure you have mod rewrite enabled.
