Laravel - the requested url cannot be found on this server - apache

Question

I have deployed my project on linode and configured everything correctly but I find the homepage the only thing to be working. Anything else is giving me The requested url can not be found on this server. I have check all my configurations and everything seems to be correct. a2enmod rewrite is enabled and this 000-default.conf:
<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.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /var/www/application
Require all granted
</Directory>
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
What else is missing?
Edit:
VirtualHost configuration:
ServerRoot: "/etc/apache2"
Main DocumentRoot: "/var/www"
Main ErrorLog: "/var/log/apache2/error.log"
Mutex default: dir="/var/lock/apache2" mechanism=fcntl
Mutex mpm-accept: using_defaults
Mutex watchdog-callback: using_defaults
Mutex rewrite-map: using_defaults
PidFile: "/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid"
Define: DUMP_VHOSTS
Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG
Define: ENABLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN
User: name="www-data" id=33
Group: name="www-data" id=33

Answer 1

You need to set document root to the public folder of your application like so:
"var/www/your-site.com/public"

Answer 2

Try follow my config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourproject.com
ServerAlias www.yourproject.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/yourproject/public
<Directory "/var/www/yourproject/public">
Require all granted
Allowoverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Turns out the .htaccess was missing so that was the reason. I have added it and it is working normally.
