Debmirror error

I followed the guide for setting up debmirror from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror . I changed the files to go to an external drive and set it to download Focal and Hirsute. Debmirror completes without errors but I get an error when I try to point a computer to it but get an error when I try apt-get update.

Error message:
The repository 'http://192.168.1.42/ubuntu hirsute Release' does not have a Release file.Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Where am I going wrong?

Files download to here

For Apache I symlinked to /var/www/ubuntu Tree looks the same as above.

Here is my sh script

#!/bin/bash

# Arch=         -a      # Architecture. For Ubuntu can be i386, powerpc or amd64.
# sparc, only starts in dapper, it is only the later models of sparc.
# For multiple  architecture, use ",". like "i386,amd64"

arch=amd64,i386

# Minimum Ubuntu system requires main, restricted
# Section=      -s      # Section (One of the following - main/restricted/universe/multiverse).
# You can add extra file with $Section/debian-installer. ex: main/debian-installer,universe/debian-installer,multiverse/debian-installer,restricted/debian-installer

# Server=       -h      # Server name, minus the protocol and the path at the end
# CHANGE "*" to equal the mirror you want to create your mirror from. au. in Australia  ca. in Canada.
# This can be found in your own /etc/apt/sources.list file, assuming you have Ubuntu installed.

server=archive.ubuntu.com

# Dir=          -r      # Path from the main server, so http://my.web.server/$dir, Server dependant

inPath=/ubuntu

# Proto=        --method=       # Protocol to use for transfer (http, ftp, hftp, rsync)
# Choose one - http is most usual the service, and the service must be available on the server you point at.
# For some "rsync" may be faster.

proto=rsync

# Outpath=              # Directory to store the mirror in

# The --nosource option only downloads debs and not deb-src's
# The --progress option shows files as they are downloaded
# --source \ in the place of --no-source \ if you want sources also.
# --nocleanup  Do not clean up the local mirror after mirroring is complete. Use this option to keep older repository

# Start script

debmirror       -a $arch \
                --no-source \
                --check-gpg \
                --checksums \
                -s $section \
                -h $server \
                -d $release \
                -r $inPath \

After much web surfing I found the answer to my question.
The problem was with Apache's default location.

Guide has it listed as /var/www/ubuntu

Should be /var/www/html/ubuntu

After making that change my mirror is working.

Missing piece to the puzzle was located at:
Created apt-mirror but cannot browse to it from localhost/ubuntu
