No such file or directory: '/srv/nominatim/website' after reboot

[echo292]

Followed the install instructions exactly to the documentation.
After install and running "nominatim sever" I was able to make request through the php api.
After rebooting I ran the apache2 server with the following command and I get the error listed below.

sudo a2enconf nominatim
sudo systemctl restart apache2

nominatim@Ubuntu22v2:~$ nominatim serve

I also confirmed the /etc/apache2/conf-available/nominatim.conf looks correct.

nominatim@Ubuntu22v2:~$ nominatim serve
Using project directory: /srv/nominatim

Your project directory is /srv/nominatim/nominatim-project

Either first change into the directory (cd) or add a command-line parameter (nominatim serve -h will show the syntax).

It helps if you list which version of Nominatim you installed and which tutorial or documentation page you followed, there’s multiple.

Hello, apologies for the limited info. Thank you for your assistance. This is my first round exploring Nominatim.
Nominatim version 4.3.1-0

Documentation:

• https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/appendix/Install-on-Ubuntu-22/
• https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Import/

As per your feedback, I realized I was running the serve command in the home folder.

I'm now able to execute API calls on the command.

I have the php server running however I'm getting a GET /status.php - No such file or directory

Thank you for your help.

Is it necessary to run the apache2 server then the nominatim server separate?
Or will the "nominatim server --engine php" be enough?

I've tried both ways however I still get the following message.
GET /status.php - No such file or directory

If they both need to run, which one runs on the loopback and which will run on a separate ip?

When I run the "netstat -tnlp" I see no ip assigned to port 80.

Thank you,

Disregard my questions above. I figured it out.
