I'm getting this error after putting my file inside html directory and I'm confused about this setting. I think I have to open the index.php file, but I'm getting a 500 error. Let me know about any error you notice please.

Structure of directory

enter image description here

This is data from /etc/apache2/sites-available/fullstack1.conf:

did you enable php? i.e. is it in `/etc/apache2/mods-enabled`. Not sure which version for you look for php7.4.conf ,for example, in `/etc/apache2/mods-available` and enable via `sudo a2enmod php7.4` (but use your version numbers).

Looks like you have a couple of items to look at in the fullstack1.conf file:

Your DocumentRoot should point to the directory that visitors to the site will start from which, based on the <Directory> entity, should be:
```
/var/www/html/fullstack1/public
```
The final slash in the <Directory> entity is unnecessary:
```
<Directory /var/www/html/fullstack1/public>
```
If you are running a modern version of Apache, these two lines can be removed from the <Directory> entity:
```
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
```
These permission statements are now handled with the Require statements.
If Apache does not know what to serve when people visit the bare domain, it will default to showing the directory structure or present an error. As you’re running a PHP-based site, you can add this line immediately after DocumentRoot:
```
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
```
This will look first for index.php in the /public directory and fail first to index.html if the PHP file does not exist, then to index.htm.

Once these items are taken care of, restart (or reload) the Apache server:

sudo service apache2 restart

This should give you what you need

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.
