I've been working on this for several days now and I'm at the point of pulling my hair out.
Goal: to deploy Slim4 on my LAMP server within a specific subdirectory and accessible via a simple URL.
Structure:
There are several instances of my web app on the server and the setup should be replicated for all of them; the structure is straight forward:
/var/www/company1.com/app
this "app" folder contains the main index.php of the website, as well as other various folders. Eg. /var/www/company1.com/app/index.php => https://company.com/index.php
there is a folder called "api" within which I want to load Slim4. I don't really mind how this folder is structured and how deep it goes. I'm working on basis that this is where the composer file goes.
the end result should be that the customer can access the api by calling https://company1.com/api
I'm using the openapi-generator and the Pet Store yaml file.
Running:
openapi-generator-cli generate -i petstore.yaml -g php-slim4 -o /var/www/company1/api/
I've then run composer install and setup the config.inc.php file as described in the instructions.
However when I navigate to http://company1.com/api I am greeted with the same issue every time:
404 Not Found Type: Slim\Exception\HttpNotFoundException Code: 404 Message: Not found. File: /var/www/company1.com/app/api/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Middleware/RoutingMiddleware.php Line: 91 Trace: #0 /var/www/company1.com/app/api/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Middleware/RoutingMiddleware.php(58): Slim\Middleware\RoutingMiddleware->performRouting() #1 /var/www/company1.com/app/api/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/MiddlewareDispatcher.php(147): Slim\Middleware\RoutingMiddleware->process()
it goes on...!
I can't figure this problem out.
This issue seems to be quite common as there are a lot of posts about it, so I'm convinced I've missed something very simple.
I have tried the following:
Setting the base path
$app->setBasePath("/api");
Creating a /public/ folder and moving the index.php file there, then creating two different .htaccess files, based on these instructions:
https://akrabat.com/running-slim-4-in-a-subdirectory/
using basepath as per its instructions
https://github.com/selective-php/basepath
None of it seems to work! What am I doing wrong?
I have been able to successful load the Slim4 Skeleton application, however I want to use the openapi-generator so that I can have it automatically prepare all the php files based on my openapi yaml spec.
Any thoughts on tips would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Question title changed. The original question title was: Using a relative URL in a Vue app that works in both production and development, but this turned out not to be the cause of my problem (see comments below).
I've tried so many things and all I want to do is use a single relative url in a JavaScript fetch() method and have it run consistently in both development and production without having to change lots of config files or webpack settings.
In a nutshell I want to fetch() a get-users.php file which resides in the same directory as the app — nothing fancy or complicated — just a php file that gets some data from a mysql database on the same host.
I can make it work in development, but then it fails in production (npm run build), OR I can get it working in production but then it fails in development (npm run serve). The reason it fails is essentially because the relative url in production is the root of the dist folder, but the relative url in development is the root of the vue project folder — is that correct?. So in development for example I can use fetch(public/get-users.php) which works perfectly, but then in production the dist folder doesn't contain a public folder so I get a 404 error. I can manually copy and paste the public folder to the dist folder after each build, but this just seems like an unnecessary extra step.
Part of the problem is that I don't fully understand where a file like get-users.php should reside. I don't mind if I have to put it in the public or static folders, but when I do that it fails in production because of the example above. Could someone please explain the role of the public folder in a Vue CLI app please? Does it do something under the hood that I don't fully understand? Am I missing something obvious? It seems like such a trivial task to make this work but I'm banging my head against the wall here! Please help! :)
If you're using vue cli then all you need is to put your get-users.php file inside the public folder and access this file without public prefix like this:
fetch('get-users.php')
This will work as expected for both dev and prod environments because during the build step webpack will copy all static assets from the public to the dist folder.
first thanks for your brilliant work on Restler, I am using it for some labs at the University and so far it works like a charm, really simple and elegant framework!
I've been using Restler 3.0 RC4 successfully until I updated to RC5 today. Now I'm having problems with the HtmlFormat. Whenever I try to access any of my web services that return HtmlFormat or try to enter the API Explorer, I'm getting a HTTP 500, "Unable to create cache directory /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/concrete/api/cache/php" . Also, I see a "Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/concrete/Restler/vendor/Luracast/Restler/Format/HtmlFormat.php on line 367" .
Do you have any idea of what could be happening? In the upgrade, I just replaced my Restler framework folder with the RC5 one, without any changes in my API itself.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you!
Most of the template formats need a cache folder to keep their compiled files so that they run efficiently
Since RC5 we create a subfolder for the template type used. Even though php templates does not need compilation Restler attempts creating php folder under the default cache location, which is cache folder located in the same folder as the index.php
In your case it is
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/concrete/api/cache
You should update the cache folder to keep it outside the web root by adding
Defaults::$cacheDirectory = '/home/xxxxxxx/cache';
And then make sure the cache folder is writable
Then HtmlFormat will create the php/twig/blade folder depending on your template preference and add the compiled files inside
The Yii2 preview was recently released and is available on github. I want to take it for a test drive, but the "documentation" so far gets outdated almost instantly since it is still under heavy development. I have tried to follow this guide on creating a simple CRUD app with Yii2, but it fails at the step:
php yiic.php app/create /var/www/yii2
With the error:
Could not open input file: yiic.php
Indicating that there is no file called yiic.php. The only folder within the framework folder is yii (framework/yii), and within that folder there is no file yiic.php, only Yii.php which when called in the command line gives the command list:
The following commands are available:
- asset
- cache
- help
- message
- migrate
Anyone managed to successfully setup a Yii2 app? Care to share how you got it done?
Seems like yiic has been removed for now, there are alternatives though, so read on.
It's all in the early stages, so the following method could break in the coming days/weeks/months. Therefore use with caution.
There are 2 ways to do this now:
Use composer. (I recommend this option.)
Directly copy the contents of yii2/apps/ directory to your apps directory, depending on the type of app you want to try.
There are currently 2 options for type of app - advanced, and basic. Both are in their respective directories within the yii2/apps/ directory, i.e yii2/apps/advanced and yii2/apps/basic.
For basic go through the basic readme.md, and for advanced go through the advanced readme.md.
The directions for using composer are given in the respective readme.md files. Including them here for completeness:
Basic app:
Install composer, if you don't have it.
Use composer to install the app alongwith dependencies(Yii):
php path/to/composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic my_yii2_trial
Access app from http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/www
Advanced app:
Install composer, if you don't have it.
Use composer to install the app alongwith dependencies(Yii):
php path/to/composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced my_yii2_trial
According to readme, after step 2 app should be accessible, but composer was failing(see issue 439). With schmunk's tip, ran the install or install.bat command that gets copied by composer: ./install . Selected development environment (by entering choice 0 in the instructions that show up when running install command). Update: The command has been renamed to init, composer doesn't fail anymore, with fix from Qiang (check the issue 439 for more details).
Access app at: http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/frontend/www or http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/backstage/www
Here's how to copy the directory and get it working:
Basic app:
create your web-accessible directory for the app : my_yii2_trial
copy all files and folders from yii2/apps/basic/ directory to my_yii2_trial/ directory.
modify the my_yii2_trial/www/index.php file to point to the correct path for Yii.php.
For me it was within yii2/framework/yii/
comment the line that tries to include ../vendor/autoload.php file, I couldn't find that file anywhere, so its probably for some future use. it is the autoloader provided by composer.
Access from browser : http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/www
Advanced app:
create your web-accessible directory for the app : my_yii2_trial
copy all files and folders from yii2/apps/advanced/ directory to my_yii2_trial/ directory.
modify the my_yii2_trial/frontend/www/index.php file to point to the correct path for Yii.php. Similarly modify backstage/www/index.php.
comment the line that tries to include ../vendor/autoload.php file in both the index.php of backstage and frontend.
Access app at: http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/frontend/www or http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/backstage/www
Some important links to read more about this: issue 77, issue 108, issue 131, and wiki comment.
I am not sure how composer's autoloader is being used, so can't comment on that. Also in future versions, backstage might be renamed to backend.
I am currently using CI 2.1 and Netbeans 7.0 as my inveiglement IDE. I would like to create some simple unit testing using SimpleTest. In particular the methodology used by Eric Barnes and his code found at Git Hub CodeIgniter-SimpleTest. (https://github.com/ericbarnes/codeigniter-simpletest)
I have created a new CI application using Netbeans 7.0 and connected to my database (which contains 1 table called schools with the typical schema schoolid, schoolname, schooladdress etc.). I have created a controller (simpleapp), which loads a model called schools_model. The schools_model gets all the schools using a method called getAll(). Another method called getSchoolName(id), accepts a school ID and returns the school name.
The controller then loads a view called schools_view to display all the schools. Pretty simple stuff…....... and it works flawlessly, displaying all the schools when I point my browser to
http://localhost/SimpleTest/simpleapp/getAllSchools
(I am also using a .htaccess file, hence no index.php)
My question is this….......
How do I get SimpleTest to work using the Git hub code supplied by Eric?
I have followed Eric’s set-up advise, but don’t know what URL to point to to create the screen dumps he provides. I have maintained the directory structure Eric suggests but haven’t had any success. Eric suggest to point the browser to yoursite.com/unit_test.php, but I get a
404 page not found error for localhost/SimpleTest/unit_test.php
I assume the above error is due to the fact, like most CI applications, we need to use a controller first.
I would appreciate any direction in this area.
I have done exactly what you suggested. I have placed the unit_test.php file in the root directory and set up the test directory structure as suggested. However, when I point to localhost/SimpleTest/unit_test.php I get the 404 error.
My directory structure looks like
Source Files
-application (folder)
-system(folder)
-tests(folder from git hub with model/test_schools_model.php)
-.htaccess
-index.php
-licence.txt
-unit_test.php
Is it a .htaccess issue the reason I cannot view localhost/SimpleTest/unit_test.php?
You are correct you need to go to yoursite.com/unit_test.php or in your case localhost/SimpleTest/unit_test.php
You need to copy the unit_test.php file from github into the sites root directory and place the tests directory there too. You then put your tests in the appropriate folder under tests/
I am a cakephp newbie and I had trouble to view the files under the view folder through browser.
I used cakephp console to bake model, controller and views. (ex: Invoices_controller.php for controller, invoice.php for model and a invoices folders under views folder). According to the tutorial I read, I can access the invoice view by typing http://localhost/myProject/invoices
(there is no index.php inside the invoices folder..but the tutorial shows it still can display a page. no idea how they did it)
The path for my invoices is myProject/views/invoices and there add.ctp, index.ctp, edit.ctp files inside the invoices folder.
The browser showed the file is not found when I typed http://localhost/myProject/invoices
You have some lack in your knowledge about how the webserver handling a request when cakephp is installed. Assume that we use apache.
In cake's folder structure you can see .htaccess files in the root, app and webroot directories what have url rewrite rules in them. At the end a normal request to a cakephp site will be transformed to a http://site.url.root/app/webroot/index.php?url=original.url
In nutshell to understand it in your point of view:
That index.php call the required php files and at least a cakephp app object is built up in the memory with the required models and methods. Then the app object let say start and calls its methods (model, controller and view methods) and at the end it gives back a result to apache what serves it to you.
Therefore the original url path is a "non existent" virtual url.
If you enter http://localhost/myProject/ do you get a cake intro page? If so does it highlight any problems?
It sounds to me as if you do not have Apache set up properly. I don't know what OS you're using, but it might be worth checking this link, written for Ubuntu, to make sure all is well: http://leoponton.blogspot.com/2010/05/getting-cakephp-up-and-running-on.html
I fixed the same problem.
if you are using windows 7 os, wamp server, cakephp 2.2.3. then
goto apache -> http.conf -> open -> search for mod_rewrite -> uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Now restart your server, now it should work fine.
Jerry, I think the issue is this. You have put the CakePHP folder in the root of localhost. I would propose that you create a virtual host pointing the myProject so the url becomes:
http://myProject/accounting
This may solve your problem. Be sure rewrite module is on. Also, when you point the virtual host to myProject, it should be the APP folder of the cakephp. If you want to run multiple projects off the same core, you can set them up like so:
/var/www/cake
/var/www/html/myProject
/var/www/html/myProject2
The /var/www/cake directory is where you drop the cake core. Under this directory you will have cake, app, plugins, vendors, etc. the myProject(2) directories will be the contents of the app directory.
Now, to get this to work, you need to go to /var/www/html/myProject/webroot/index.php and edit it to point to the cake directory in /var/www/cake. This will then load the core when rewrite points to index.php in webroot. You should be good to go!
