Warning: I don't actually understand all the lines in the Directory permissions block. I'm guilty of cargo-cult coding here; I just copied what Google AI answered with. Sorry ;-)

Don't blindly follow suggestions from an LLM AI. That's even worse than blindly following code in some random blog you've never read before. In this case the Options line is probably unnecessary and really should not have FollowSymLinks. AllowOverride None is good, but should really be at the top level, not just in this dir. Require all granted allows public access to all methods - fine for a fully internal server but bear it in mind if you are opening it up to clients on the wider web.

a good way for Debian users to get a restart is `sudo systemctl restart apache2'

You don't need a restart just to pick up a change in config like this. If you are stuck with using systemd then sudo systemctl reload apache2 will do. If you are free from systemd (or just don't want to give it the satisfaction of using its own commands) then a simple sudo apachectl graceful is the way.

Glad you have it working now. Enjoy your minicpan!
