My website runs with the following virtual host configuration:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot /home/myuser/MyDomain/src
    ServerName MyDomain
    ServerAlias www.MyDomain
    ErrorLog /home/myuser/logs/apache/MyDomain-error_log
    CustomLog /home/myuser/logs/apache/MyDomain-access_log common
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <Directory /home/myuser/MyDomain/src>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
    </Directory>

   #LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]

    RewriteRule ^/api/media/(.*) /data/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/api/v1/* /api/v1/index.php [L]

</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

I am migrating to Laravel and would like to deploy Laravel alongside live website on /v2 path. Laravel app is in the /website/v2/p2 folder, so I added another rewrite for all urls that start with /v2. This is my current conf file (I only added a single rewrite):

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot /home/myuser/MyDomain/src
    ServerName MyDomain
    ServerAlias www.MyDomain
    ErrorLog /home/myuser/logs/apache/MyDomain-error_log
    CustomLog /home/myuser/logs/apache/MyDomain-access_log common
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <Directory /home/myuser/MyDomain/src>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
    </Directory>

   #LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]

    RewriteRule ^/v2/(.*) /website/v2/p2/public/index.php [L] # this is new

    RewriteRule ^/api/media/(.*) /data/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/api/v1/* /api/v1/index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^/api/cdn/v1/* /api/cdn/v1/index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^/assets/(.*) /website/v1/content/assets/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/css/(.*) /website/v1/content/css/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/js/(.*) /website/v1/content/js/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/fonts/(.*) /website/v1/content/fonts/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/(.*)$ /.well-known/acme-challenge/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/* /website/v1/index.php [L]
  #sslstuff
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Visiting /v2/index.php now works. Unfortunately visiting /v2 alone returns 404. Defining a new route in routes/web.php

Route::get('/newroute', function () {
    return "It works, lol";
});

and visiting it also returns 404 error.

What is the correct way of deploying Laravel alongside live app?

UPDATE:

Rewrite log correctly resolves to Laravels index.php as shown here:

init rewrite engine with requested uri /v2
applying pattern '^/v2(/.*)?$' to uri '/v2'
RewriteCond: input='/v2' pattern='!-d' => matched
RewriteCond: input='/v2' pattern='!-f' => matched
rewrite '/v2' -> '/website/v2/p2/public/index.php'
setting lastsub to rule with output /website/v2/p2/public/index.php
local path result: /website/v2/p2/public/index.php
prefixed with document_root to /home/myuser/MyDomain/src/website/v2/p2/public/index.php
go-ahead with /home/myuser/MyDomain/src/website/v2/p2/public/index.php [OK]

It seems that 404 issue stems from how Laravel is handling paths
