Hi there. I wrote a new website using Xampp on my Windows machine at home and am now trying to transfer all the code to Linode. I installed a one-click LAMP app on my Linode. My site also uses the CodeIgniter framework.

Details

The site is called mnminimarket.com. I bought the domain recently and it is hosted through GoDaddy.

Code is stored on my Linode in the var/www/html/mnminimarket.com/public_hmtl folder.

Linode is running Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)

cURL

Contents from running curl -vIl mnminimarket.com:

(Do I need to install watchdog?)

What I've done already…

I ran sudo chown -hR www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mnminimarket.com to attempt to fix what I thought was an Apache permissions error. No change in results.

I have an .htaccess file that came with CodeIgniter that looks like this, but I'm not sure it's being loaded correctly.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mnminimarket\.com$
RewriteRule ^$ index.php/Homepage [L]

Anyway, hopefully this is enough information to give me a few pointers. Thanks much!
