Why am I getting these Silex 404's? - php

Question

Just getting started with Silex and having some issues.
Downloaded the fat zip file, unzipped it into wamp's www folder. So, here's C:\wamp\www\fat-silex\web\index.php:
<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new Silex\Application();
$app->get('/hello', function() {
return 'Hello!';
});
$app->run();
Problem is I'm getting Apache's 404's for http://localhost/fat-silex/web/hello, and also for any URL except localhost/fat-silex/web, where I'm getting Silex'es 404 (as expected). I guess the requests go directly to Apache, and are not routed by Silex. This looks like the problem could be solved with a .htaccess file, so I added this one, suggested in the official documentation:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fat-silex
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
However, it doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

Answer 1

Your rewrite base should be /fat-silex/web
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fat-silex/web
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I've tested it on my localhost, and it works fine

Answer 2

the problem is your apache conf. If you don't use virtual host you should configure apache to allow htaccess file of your project directory.
On Linux (Ubuntu) : sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
...
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/fat-silex/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
