PHP API is not working With Django on apache2 Ubuntu server | Google Cloud

Question

I have successfully deployed a Django project on the apache2 web server on Linux Ubuntu machine on Google Cloud . It is working fine. Also, I have PHP API that connects with the MySQL database the same Django connects. But the issue is that the Django application works fine and PHP API is not working.

I have also placed the index.html page in my /var/www/html/api_folder/index.php path. so when I type my_ip/api_folder in a browser it opens index.html page but the API is not working. the api files are in api_folder as in the index.html page.

below is my conf file in /sites-available directory of apache2. even the basic PHP file works and prints the message in echo. but when I type My_ip/api_folder/api/get_about_us/?key=xxxx it shows me 404 Error page.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

you may have an issue in .htaccess file. please check .htaccess file once.

make sure you have enabled apache2 Rewrite rule. run following command to do that:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
