Solution 1

It may be that you need a closing </virtualhost> tag as described at core - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4[^].

However, since you provided no details about the actual problem, I am guessing here.

Sorry, I forgot to add the ending tag of the virtual host.but when I am trying to load the application from browser it says this site can't be reached

That suggests that your website name does not have a DNS entry anywhere. You may need to add it to your /etc/hosts file.

yes. DNS wasn't mapped with ip address.It's solved now
