My site's directory structure is;
site -> app -> public
--> soundfiles (directory having sounds files)
route.php: Route::get("soundfiles", "controller#soundfiles");
when I hit mysite/soundfiles it shows me soudfiles directory instead of going to => controller#soundfiles.
I want it does not show sound files. where is the problem.
You should try:
Route::get("/soundfiles", "soundfilescontroller#soundfiles");
Route::get('/urlalias', 'controllerName#functionName');
OR
Add this to your htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Your web server is serving the directory instead of routing everything through index.php. Work out whether you're using Nginx or Apache and ensure you've got it configured correctly. Laravel ships with a valid .htaccess file for Apache, read the docs for how to configure Nginx.
I have the following shared hosting file structure using a codeigniter project:
myTLD.com/sites/mysite
mysite contains: application, system , index.php ... ( standard CI2 setup )
myTLD.com/public_html - contains : index.php
I have symlinked myTLD.com/public_html/index.php to myTLD.com/sites/mysite/index.php
Unfortunately I am getting:
Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php
I have set it up this way to avoid placing the actual site in the document root for security purposes . I don't want to change mysite/index.php because I want to keep the entire project in its mysite directory where it can easily be revised etc.
The application and mysite/ folder are set to 755 so I don't think this is a permission problem .
My myTLD.com/public_html/.htaccess folder directs all requests to index.php:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php
Can someone advise me on an approach to sending requests through to the codeigniter index file without causing this error?
Thank you
You can try following way
1) Remove the symlink
2) Use this in htaccess at myTLD.com/public_html/.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ myTLD.com/sites/mysite/index.php?/$1 [L]
Use absolute system path if you are aware of it.
So, I'm running xampp on Windows. I'm currently trying to get familiar with the laravel framework. Now, when thats pointed out. How can i be able to access my laravel application/website direct within the root?
Example,
What I'm doing now is: localhost/laravel/public/about (to see the
about page)
What i want to do is: localhost/laravel/about
Any good solutions for this? do i need to add a .htacess file on the root folder of laravel? (not the public one).
Any suggestions?
Easiest way is create .htaccess file in your Laravel root with following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
It should be redirected easily.
Reference: https://coderwall.com/p/erbaig/laravel-s-htaccess-to-remove-public-from-url
Here's how I did it.
Edit your Windows Host file - C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Edit the Apache vhosts file - Drive-Letter:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add an htaccess file to the laravel/public folder (if its not already there)
Restart Xampp apache server
Windows can be a real PITA when trying to edit the Hosts file because of the User Account Control. Since I work on all kinds of small hobby projects, I have to edit this file all the time so this is what I do.
Install PSPad. It loads really fast and you can bookmark files for easy loading/editing. Sublime Text also works well if you load the two files I mentioned above and save the workspace as a new project.
Right-click on the PSPad (or other editor) program shortcut and choose 'Run as Administrator'. You cannot save changes to the Hosts file unless you do this.
Open the Windows Host file in the editor. This file does not have a file extension, so you have to choose "All Files" in the File Open dialog to even see the file.
At the bottom of the file, add this:
127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
This tells Windows to point the web browser to localhost whenever you enter laravel.dev in the browser's address bar.
Save the file.
Open the xampp Apache httpd-vhosts.conf file.
At the bottom of the file, add this: (I am assuming xampp is installed at the root of the D: drive)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName laravel.dev
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public"
<Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add an htaccess file to your laravel/public folder (if its not already there).
I think the default htaccess file that comes with L4 looks like this:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Restart your xampp apache server.
Open a web browser and type in the address bar - http://laravel.dev
That will take you to the index.php file in the "public" folder.
To get to the About page, I think the address would be http://laravel.dev/about
Move the contents of the /public folder down a level.
You'll need to update the include lines in index.php to point to the correct location. (if it's down a level, remove the '../').
BEST Approch: I will not recommend removing public, instead on local computer create a virtual host point to public directory and on remote hosting change public to public_html and point your domain to this directory. Reason, your whole laravel code will be secure because its one level down to your public directory :)
METHOD 1:
I just rename server.php to index.php and it works
METHOD 2:
Here is my Directory Structure,
/laravel/
... app
... bootstrap
... public
... etc
Follow these easy steps
move all files from public directory to root /laravel/
now, no need of public directory, so optionally you can remove it now
now open index.php and make following replacements
require DIR.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
to
require DIR.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
$app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/start.php';
now open bootstrap/paths.php and change public directory path:
'public' => DIR.'/../public',
to
'public' => DIR.'/..',
and that's it, now try http:// localhost/laravel/
Set you document root for apache to the public folder, and not the laravel folder. This is the simplest technique and recommended for production environments.
I'm using L5, This works for me fine:
Rename the server.php in the your Laravel root folder to index.php
copy the .htaccess file from /public directory to your Laravel root folder.
-- Thatz it!!!
I've been struggling with this problem too but i've found a simple solution that only requires you to create another .htaccess at the root of your application.
The .htaccess itself should contain this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^{yoursite}.{extension} [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.{yoursite}.{extension}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L]
The complete system keeps working but it redirects to the /public folder.
This is how I solved the problem for myself.
Hope it helps!
Cheers.
Add following code to htaccess file. It may helps you.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Add following code in your .htaccess (if not exist create a .htaccess on laravel root directory)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Source : http://tutsnare.com/remove-public-from-url-laravel/
at Source you also get another method to do same.
Update : Preferred way to do it is make change in directory structure which explain in source URL.
just in simple step i did in laravel 5
make .htaccess like this in laravel folder
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ ./index.php [L]
</IfModule>
then rename your server.php to index.php
that it it will work
or if you just doing local development
run this comman php artisan serve
it will start local server at localhost:8000 (port may vary)
You can use symlinks or edit the httpd.conf file.
Check my answer to another similar question. I hope that it helps.
If you don't wish to go through the stress of configuring .htaccess file,
you could use PHP Built-in Server by doing this:
From your command utility, cd into laravel\public
The run: php -S localhost:8000
After you can access your website by going to:
http:://localhost:8000
works without appending public
See the official manual to learn more:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
Go to project folder using cmd and type "php artisan serve".
Now navigate to: localhost:8000
I have found geart flow to work with laravel localy.
What you can do is to configure xampp a bit. At your xamp's httpd.conf file you have to find document DocumentRoot and <Directory>. Change root directory to yours laravel public folder and restart apache. Since when you can access your project simplly just typing localhost. Now if you want you can change your host file and rewrite local dns, for example: 127.0.0.1 example.laravel.com and now you can access your project with real url. It may look bit complicated, but it's not.
Alternative to that would be php artisan serve. You can start server on different ports and when re-write hosts file.
You could add some features to improve your workflow even more, for example vagrant or ngrok. You can share your project for live presentation (speed may be issue here).
Need to remove public segment in the larvel4 app
Laravel 4 requires you to put your app code one level higher than the web root, and this causes problems for some developers that are stuck on shared hosting and that doesn’t allow a setup like this. It’s actually really easy to get around it. I read that some L4 specific packages could have problems on a setup like this, but I didn’t experience anything like that with any package yet.
So first install L4 somewhere you like. I liked the article Niall wrote on keeping the base L4 app up to date, so go and check that out: Installing and Updating Laravel 4
I find it’s enough for this example to simply clone the repo (assuming you have composer installed globally, if not, go to http://getcomposer.org/):
git clone -b develop git://github.com/laravel/laravel.git app_name
php composer install
Note that we are cloning the develop branch since L4 is still in beta at this time.
So to remove the “public” part from your URL, simply move all files and folders from public to your app root and you’ll end up with a folder structure like this:
/app
/bootstrap
/packages (copied from /public)
/vendor
.htaccess (copied from /public)
artisan
composer.json
favicon.ico (copied from /public)
index.php (copied from /public)
robots.txt (copied from /public)
server.php
Now we need to edit our paths in index.php:
require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
And then just set the public dir in out /bootstrap/paths.php file:
'public' => __DIR__.'/..',
this is my suggession
You need to do following things:
first copy all the contents of the public directory in your root directory i.e. bring the contents of public folder 1 step up.
modify the contents of index.php
From =>
require __DIR__ . "/../bootstrap/autoload";
$app = require_once __DIR__ . "/../boostrap/start.php"
To =>
"require __DIR__.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';"
"$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/start.php';
and also contents of bootstrap/paths.php
From => 'public' => __DIR__.'/../../',
To => 'public' => __DIR__.'/..',
3.Then finally create .htaccess file in your root directory and write this.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Simple Steps To follow:
Rename server.php (In Root directory) to index.php
Copy .htaccess file from public directory to root directory
rename the server.php to index.php and copy .htaccess from /public is the right way.
If you send your app online,just change DocumentRoot to the path of public.
if you remove public from url first of all move index.php and .htaccess file from public folder to root of the laravel and change in index.php file
require DIR.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/../bootstrap/start.php';
to
require DIR.'/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/bootstrap/start.php';
and run the program
This has been asked before many times. I had the same problem. I solved it by using vhosts and .htaccess files. I wanted to write about solution on both XAMPP on Windows and LAMP installation on Ubuntu. My configuration on windows:
My aim was to reach my application by entering the uri below
http://localhost/subdir
c:\xampp\htdocs\subdir\ # this was laravel root directory
c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf # this virtual hosts file
I used original .htaccess file from Laravel website (and remember .htaccess file must be in public directory) but I just added one line which is
RewriteBase /subdir (just below RewriteEngine On)
In addition, in httpd-vhosts file you should add your subdirectory alias like that:
Alias /subdir
"C:/xampp/htdocs/subdir/public"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/subdir/public">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Hope everything is clear with my explanation. This answer can be applied on unix based systems easily.
I am stuck into a weird problem.
I have a file at the location /public_html/academics/courses.php
I want .htaccess to mod_rewrite the URLs as below:
Original URL: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
After mod_rewrite: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/index.php?inc=/academics/courses/
What I want, basically, is to mod_rewrite all URLs to index.php and pass the URL as a parameter named "inc". Then, in the index.php I include the file by doing include($_GET['inc']);
mod_rewrite is working for some pages on the website. and I am getting the URL in $inc. But, it is not working at all for other pages.
For example, consider the two files that exist on the server:
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses.php
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library.php
mod_rewrite is working for the first, the file gets included in index.php
But for the second I get the plain existing file. not the one included in index.php
I hope you understand the problem that I am facing. Please provide me with the solution.
.htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?inc=$1&%1 [L]
Page working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
Page not working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library/
*EDIT*
There is no other .htaccess anywhere. Although, I have found a clue about what is happening. The problem is happening only in Linux server. The code is working correctly in Windows server.I have a Linux server with PHP 5.2.16.
Also, regarding some pages working and some not. I have found that only those pages are working which have a folder with identical name in the same directory. For example, The academics directory is as below:
academics/
|_ courses/
| |_ mba.php
| |_ mca.php
|_ courses.php
|_ library.php
Now, Since courses.php has a folder with identical name in same directory. It gets mod_rewrite fine. But library.php is not getting mod_rewrite.
Linux server is skipping the mod_rewrite for the files that actually exist. Why so ??
My only guess is that there is another .htaccess somewhere in your structure (most obviously inside /academics/ ) that is overriding the rule for "library".
Could there be another mod_rewriting rule inside that folder that is kicking in for the word LIBRARY and probably messing up your rewriting.
Note that it might also be a native apache issue. For example, in ubuntu, by default in version 10.10 (i think thats it) if you had a /javascript/ folder, it would be short circuited to /usr/lib/javascript or something like that...
Check all possible instances of mod rewrite in httpd.conf, all dynamicaly loaded .conf files, your vhost file and finaly the path of your document root...
I am using CodeIgniter for two applications (a public and an admin app).
The important elements of the document structure are:
/admin
/admin/.htaccess
/admin/index.html
/application
/application/admin
/application/public
/system
.htaccess
index.php
The /admin/.htaccess file looks like this:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
The /admin/index.php has the following changes:
$system_folder = "../system";
$application_folder = "../application/admin"; (this line exists of course twice)
And the /application/admin/config/routes.php contains the following:
$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['admin'] = 'welcome';
Welcome is my default controller.
When I call up the Domain/admin I get a 404 Page Not Found error. When I call up the Domain/admin/welcome everything works fine. In the debug logs I get the following error message:
DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> Config Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> Hooks Class Initialized
DEBUG - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> URI Class Initialized
ERROR - 2010-09-20 16:27:34 --> 404 Page Not Found --> admin
Weirdly enough this setup works perfectly on my local MAMP installation (with the localdomain/admin/), but when I publish and test it on the "live" server, I just get 404 errors.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
C.
The cause of the problem was that the server was running PHP using FastCGI.
After changing the config.php to
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";
everything worked.
You could try one of two things or a combination of both.
Be sure that your controller's name starts with a capital letter. eg "Mycontroller.php"
If you have not made any changes to your route, for some strange reason, you might have to include capital letters in your url. e.g if your controller is 'Mycontroller.php' with a function named 'testfunc' inside it, then your url will look like this: "http://www.yourdomain/index.php/Mycontroller/testfunc". Note the capital letter. (I'm assuming you haven't added the htaccess file to remove the 'index.php' part. If you have, just remove it from the url.)
I hope this helps someone
Leaving this answer here for others who ran into my situation.
My codeigniter app was working fine in localhost/WAMP, but was unable to route and produced 404 not found errors when pushing to an AWS EC2 instance. My issue was solved from the answer from HERE htaccess works in localhost but doesn't work in EC2 instance
(route to my admin page)
{domain}/admin was producing 404
the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file needs to be modified.
-after every instance of "DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"" (2 places) "AllowOverride None" needed to be changed to "AllowOverride All".
Restarted the EC2 instance from the AWS dashboard.
{domain}/admin is now accessible and working as intended.
hope this helps someone else like it helped me!
Change your controller name first letter to uppercase.
Change your url same as your controller name.
e.g:
Your controller name is YourController
Your url must be:
http://example.com/index.php/YourController/method
Not be:
http://example.com/index.php/yourcontroller/method
we have to give the controller name in lower cases in server side
$this->class = strtolower(__CLASS__);
If you installed new Codeigniter, please check if you added .htaccess file on root directory.
If you didn't add it yet, please add it.
You can put default content it the .htaccess file like below.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's

Modify apache config file as mentioned below :
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Goto line no 172 and change
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
to
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
and then finally
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Your folder/file structure seems a little odd to me. I can't quite figure out how you've got this laid out.
Hello I am using CodeIgniter for two applications (a public and an admin app).
This sounds to me like you've got two separate CI installations. If this is the case, I'd recommend against it. Why not just handle all admin stuff in an admin controller? If you do want two separate CI installations, make sure they are definitely distinct entities and that the two aren't conflicting with one another. This line:
$system_folder = "../system";
$application_folder = "../application/admin"; (this line exists of course twice)
And the place you said this exists (/admin/index.php...or did you mean /admin/application/config?) has me scratching my head. You have admin/application/admin and a system folder at the top level?
In my case I was using it on localhost and forgot to change RewriteBase in .htaccess.
I had the same issue after migrating to a new environment and it was simply that the server didn't run mod_rewrite
a quick sudo a2enmod rewrite
then sudo systemctl restart apache2
and problem solved...
Thanks #fanis who pointed that out in his comment on the question.
If your application is in sub-folder then the Folder name in directory and URL must be same (case-sensitive).
It happens cause of multiple reasons but the answer missing above there's the "className" while extending your controller.
Make sure your class name is the same as your controller name is your controllers. e.g.,
If your controller name is Settings.php, you must extend the controller like.
class Settings extends CI_Controller
{
// some actions like...
public function __construct(){
// and so and so...
}
}
