Check your DocumentRoot if it is pointed to your vanilla forums directory and make sure to enable the virtual host you created using the a2ensite command.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Thank you

The configuration file should be created at the following location:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.conf

After this is done, you should enable it with:

a2ensite yourdomain.com

And reload your Apache web server:

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Thanks for pointing that out. The article has been updated with the correct command:

apt-get install unzip

The problem is that the directory /etc/httpd – and /etc/httpd/conf.d — do not exist.
You cannot save a file in non-existent directories.

Either the author of this article made a big mistake on where things are supposed to go – or forgot to create these directories.

Unless I’m mistaken, you should fix that.

Please, do not forget to wrap these lines into blocks.

I followed along using exactly what you shown but it never saves out.
I swapped that last bit with the following:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/forum.example.com.conf

Populate the file.

ServerName forum.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vanilla

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

This saves out no problem.
Not sure if I have used the right method as nothing seems to work for me.
