After drush archive-restore of a backup tar in a new machine, how to configure apache2?

I have a up and running Drupal 7 site in a Centos 6 machine and Drush 6.2.0 is being used. I need to migrate it to Ubuntu 22.04. I used drush archive-dump to create a backup tar. Then I moved it Ubuntu 22.04. I used drush archive-restore to restore the sites in the new machine. I successfully migrated public_html folder and mysql database.

As I understand from the installation guides, next step is to configure apache2 files to point public_html folder so that when I enter ip adress of my machine I can view my drupal sites. Unfortunately I failed to do that.

I tried https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-drupal-on-ubuntu-22-04/ instructions told in here even though this is for Drupal 9(I couldn't find any guide for Drupal 7 on ubuntu 22.04). I have a drupal.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available. Here is the inside of the drupal.conf :

<VirtualHost 193.140.196.110:80>
  ServerName tetam2.boun.edu.tr
  ServerAlias www.tetam2.boun.edu.tr
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public_html
  <Directory /var/www/html/public_html>
        AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

The folder /var/www/html/public_html is my restored public_html.

I am not sure about what I did right and what I did wrong :(. After successfully running drush archive-restore command, I felt kinda lost. I would much appreciate any guidance in here.

Thanks for reading this far. Sorry if it is something very silly yet, I am incredibly lost here.

Welcome to Drupal Answers! I read your question but I do not understand what in fact is not working here—you did not say. Configuring Apache on various platforms is a little out of scope for this forum but let us first understand what the actual problem is.

Thank you! My question here is after drush archive-restore command, what one should do to view drupal site? How can I test that I have successfully restored my backup from previous machine into the new machine?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
