404 when running on apache

[juanbautista0]

I am testing apache2 ubuntu and I get error 404. I have configured the htaccess as recommended but still the error message persists.

The same thing happened to me testing the Slim frame and with a method where the base path was defined, it was solved.

$app->setBasePath('/test');

What do you do here ?

The configuration is as follows:

acme/
├── public/
│   ├── .htaccess
│   └── index.php
├── vendor/
├── composer.json
└── composer.lock

path: /.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]

path: public/.htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php

# This adds support for authorization header
SetEnvIf Authorization .+ HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0

I want to share the solution I found for my problem. If you want to deploy in apache it is recommended to use a virtual host and in production environment a subdomain, so it will work with the base path.

Thanks

I had the same issue. I am on Win 10 using a Neard WAMP stack. The example page from the quickstart would load using php built in server but failed using apache. But once I defined a virtual host the page loaded without error.

@RebafC May I ask you to share your virtual host configuration? Perhaps we can take a look at see if we can improve our documentation. PRs also very much welcome!

My file is:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@myapp.com
    ServerName myapp.dev.com
    ServerAlias www.myapp.dev.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp.dev.com/cloud
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Summary

I think the problem is that it cannot be placed in a subdirectory that is not root, so the htaccess file is directing the traffic to the public directory will recognize as base path the full path.

❌: mydomain.dev/app-framework-x
👌: mydomain.dev

In the case of Slim framework it does a url mapping and determines the base path, you can also set it manually.

$app->setBasePath('/myapp');

It would be very positive if this could be dynamic or user definable.

Thank you very much for your attention and congratulations for this great tool that is Framework-x.

@juanbautista0 Really glad you like the project 👍

There is also the possibility to use a middleware for this. We opened up a new discussion to add PSR-15 compatibility, which gives us a whole new world of opportunities.

Either way, it sounds like a useful addition to the project, we also have a discussion about route groups which could also be a solution for this.
