How to rewrite directive on apache for anchor cms - php

Question

I'm using a cms called anchor.
http://anchorcms.com/docs/getting-started/configuration
when I go to domain.com/posts
I get a 404,
when I go to domain.com/index.php/posts
page is displayed correctly.
this is my httpd.conf file
<VirtualHost *:443>
#ssl blah blah
DocumentRoot /var/www/anchor/
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
<Directory /var/www/anchor/anchor/>
AllowOverride All
Options Includes MultiViews
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
this is my .htaccess file placed inside /var/www/anchor/
Options -indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>
I'm a little confused as how to configure this cms, the .htcaccess supposed to go in the "document root", which I'm fairly sure I put in the correct folder. I don't think I have to set the url to a sub directory. any tips?
here's my config file. /var/www/anchor/anchor/config/app.php
<?php
return array(
'url' => '/',
'index' => '',

Answer 1

Your document root is /var/www/anchor, but you only allow overrides on /var/www/anchor/anchor. If you're not globally allowing overrides, that would disable your htaccess file. Try changing your <Directory> tag to match the document root:
<Directory /var/www/anchor>
AllowOverride All
Options Includes MultiViews
Require all granted
</Directory>
