Virtual Host showing "Index of /" instead of displaying my site

Question

So I just ran a clean install of Mountain Lion OSX 10.8 and am trying to get everything back up and running again. I uncommented the php module and vhosts in http.conf, added brew, mcrypt, autoconf etc.. I use VirtualHostX and I set my domain and local path but when I pull it up it shows Index of / instead of my app.

I have an index.php in my root and my vhosts looks like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<Directory "/Users/me/Sites/mysite.com/public/">
    Allow From All
    AllowOverride All
    Options +Indexes
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName "mysite.dev"
    DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/mysite.com/public"
</VirtualHost>

I've spend hours troubleshooting issues like these in the past...getting better, but this is a new one and I can't seem to track down the issue.

• I'm using a php framework called Laravel and the doc root must be directed to public directory.

Solution

Find DirectoryIndex in your apache config files (probably in the httpd.conf), and check whether index.php is there. I assume that it is not.

Something stupid, do you need a trailing slash at the end of you virtual host like you do in directory
