PHP Slim4 on Apache2 gives HttpNotFoundException - php

Question

Links I've seen include:

https://discourse.slimframework.com/t/slim-4-httpnotfoundexception/3273/18
and some others
I'm trying to setup a Slim4 project on apache2. But trying to access it gives me the error
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Slim\Exception\HttpNotFoundException: Not found....
I have my index file in /var/www/html/_projects/work/calc1/src.
The following is my calc.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName calc.mrid.local
ServerAlias calc.mrid.local
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/_projects/work/calc1/src
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
This is my .htaccess located in src directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /_projects/work/calc1/src/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301]
My index.php looks like this:
// use and require statements...
$container = new Container();
AppFactory::setContainer($container);
$container->set('view', function() {
return \Slim\Views\Twig::create(__DIR__ . '/public/templates');
});
$app = AppFactory::create();
// even without this line it doesn't work
$app->setBasePath("/_projects/work/calc1/src");
$app->add(TwigMiddleware::createFromContainer($app));
// my routes....
$app->run();
Has anyone worked with Slim4 on Apache2? If yes, can you please guide me ?

Answer 1

The src/ directory is actually only meant for the PHP classes and must not be accessible to the web. The apache DocumentRoot should point to the public/ directory which contains your front controller public/index.php. Take a look at the Standard PHP package skeleton. More details about Slim and apache can be found in this Slim 4 Tutorial.
