</VirtualHost>

Enable the virtual host:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

For Nginx, create a new server block configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/bagisto.conf

And add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /var/www/html/bagisto/public;

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
            root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
            deny all;
