I have built something small using the Slim Framework for routing. Everything worked perfectly locally. I have rented a Droplet now and use a LAMP stack on Ubuntu 18.04. My App is located in the location /var/www/src/public.
I have already added this into the apache.conf:
<Directory /var/www/src/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
My 000-default.conf already has the correct route setted.
My .htaccess.txt is located in /public with my index.php which contains:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
I have already enabled mod_rewrite for Apache.
When I call the servers IP address the main page is loaded successfully with Slim where the routing is set like this:
$app->get('/', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
return $this->renderer->render($response, "/index.php");
});
So Slim seems to be rendering my index.php which is in the directory /var/www/views correctly. This path is defined in the container like this:
$container['renderer'] = new PhpRenderer("../../views");
The problem starts when I try to reach for example the site ip_address/player even though it is correctly routed and was functioning locally. Trying to reach it gives me this in the browser:
Not Found
The requested URL /player was not found on this server.
I have googled for several hours trying different solutions but I just can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Should not it be .htaccess instead of .htaccess.txt. What kind of OS you're at?
Seen a couple of questions on this topic, and all seem to be .htaccess related - I've pasted mine below.
.htaccess (stored in the root web folder, above applications):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|images|js|css|uploads|favicon.png)
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
CodeIgniter config:
$config['base_url'] = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
SSL Cert installed correctly & tested fine. Also tested with base_url swapped to http, and vhost setup for Port 80. Wildcard cert also tested on a different subdomain without codeigniter, working as expected.
All pages returning with a 404 error. Apache access log shows incorrect endpoints being hit;
Apache error log:
[core:info] [pid 26683] [client x.x.x.x:53318] AH00128: File does not
exist: /var/www/mysite/Account/login
This is the incorrect endpoint - this should be hitting /Application/Account/login to load the Account controller. This is only occurring on the currrent Server setup (Ubuntu 16.04 on a standard LAMP stack).
However, if I were to set up vhosts to start from the Application folder, this would obviously cause me to lose .htaccess, assets, images, etc etc. Would anyone know why CI seems to be looking for controllers under the root directory?
Make sure you vhost is setup correctly. Typos have major consequences for virtual hosts and the completely wrong location path for the controller might indicate a vhost setup problem.
You can confirm that .htaccess is working, or not, by including index.php in your browser address, e.g.
example.com/index.php/account/login
If that works but it doesn't when you leave out index.php then either mod_rewrite is not "on" or your vhost is messed up.
Check your class name and class file name.
Class name start with uppercase like "Functions"
Class file name start lowercase like "functions"
Controller's name same as class name like "Home_Controller =>
Home_Controller.php"
When you include your library in the project, you should write in
lowercase letters. Like this;
Functions.php => $this->load->library("functions");
$this->functions->yourMethod();
I have recently deployed a Laravel project to my live web server via FTP (Filezilla). Inside my young1.org web root folder I have the subdomain folder bookings, which displays web content at http://bookings.young1.org. Inside that folder I have the folder, 'laravel' that contains my entire laravel application, and inside that folder there is a 'public' directory.
I have imported my local database to one of the database accounts on the live web server via phpmyadmin, and I have switched the 'DB' credentials to point to the new database inside the env file in the laravel project root (changing the following variables: DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD).
When I navigate to http://bookings.young1.org/laravel/public, the home page of my application appears, fine and dandy. However, when I click on any of the internal links (e.g. the login and register) buttons, I just get a series of blank pages, and none of the internal pages appear.
Would anyone be able to take a guess at what the problem might be?
I have tried altering the .htaccess file to look like the below, and changing my 'PATHS' variable inside public/index.php.
Thanks,
Robert

do you have SSH on the server? if yes did u install laravel as you're supposed to, also could you include the .env file contents, you can mask out the DB username and pass and the key you had to generate
never mind my mistake, i clicked on a link and got a SQL connection error (refused)
i still need to know if you installed laravel via SSH or that you just made the public folder the root, because if that's the case laravel cant help you with that (you need a VPS and not a webhost that only supports FTP as far as i know)
and to be sure
BE CAREFULL!!!
you have SQL connection errors that show credentials
Notice that your URLs work fine if you use index.php in them, i.e.:
http://bookings.young1.org/laravel/public/index.php/register
To allow URLs without index.php the mod_rewrite module on your Apache web server must be enabled.
First try to add this line in your .htaccess file of Laravel above RewriteEngine On:
Options +FollowSymLinks
This directive is needed to enable mod_rewrite in .htaccess context.
If it doesn't work after this, then you can check if module is enabled on your web server, the easiest maybe is to paste this in the beginning of index.php in public folder:
phpinfo();
Then open any page and search for mod_rewrite on the page, and see if you can find it under Loaded Modules. If not, you have to enable it.
To do that, if you can access through SSH you can do:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

I've been looking for the solution for a long time. There are a lot of such topics and I know it. But I still can't figure it out. How can I remove web from the symfony2 project url? I tried to do this with htaccess looking like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [L]
but it doesn't work. It gives me an error:
No route found for "GET /web/"
I really can't change the root directory on this server as only thing I have is FTP permission. Anybody has any idea for this?
Edit: I also tried a trick to put all the files from web in root directory and the rest of the project higher. The problem is the highest directory I have access to is the root.
You shall need to update your virtual host config file and set the DocumentRoot to point to the web folder.
For example you may currently have it set as
DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject/
but you need to update it to
DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject/web
More information can be found within the Symfony2 cookbook here
Also this shall stop anyone trying to access the config/parameters.yml
So, I'm running xampp on Windows. I'm currently trying to get familiar with the laravel framework. Now, when thats pointed out. How can i be able to access my laravel application/website direct within the root?
Example,
What I'm doing now is: localhost/laravel/public/about (to see the
about page)
What i want to do is: localhost/laravel/about
Any good solutions for this? do i need to add a .htacess file on the root folder of laravel? (not the public one).
Any suggestions?
Easiest way is create .htaccess file in your Laravel root with following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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.
