Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello! I am new to using VestaCP and have been trying to figure out how to use my Laravel project with Vesta. I have been looking at other forums and posts but most are old and/or in another language. I am using Nginx and Apache, on my old server I strictly used Nginx without any proxy. I tried going to /home/$user/conf/web/$domain.nginx.conf and $domain.apache2.conf and setting the root to /home/$user/web/$domain/public_html/public in both and then restarting nginx and apache and it just gives me a 403 Forbidden. (I added the index.html file back and that went away). I also went ahead and installed what else is needed, such as composer so I think I am just missing this.

If I could get some help, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
ImJT
