mkdir -p should be instead of mkdir on line 19 because mkdir creates only a directory. You need a few subdirectory.

Also, I had some changes for everybody to use. Maybe you could interest : My Version

Changed Port 80 virtual host file to only have a config that directs all traffic to HTTPS

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.yourdomain.com
   Redirect / https://www.yourdomain.com
</VirtualHost>

Update mkcert call to point to physical path /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/mkcert as from Ubuntu 20.10 onwards this seems required.

Todo, add a switch/option for altering public webroot (eg for Laravel projects)

Updated to use MYSQL_DATABASE variable, in case site name has a hyphen
