Question

Hi i’ve done a zend project that works on localhost correctly. Now i want to put it on a server web…i don’t have permission to create a virtual host so all i can use is .htaccess. I have a htaccess on a root like that

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !^public/ /public%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

And the htaccess on the public folder

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV production
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /public
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

but when i see the url of the remote page is http://www.domain.it/public/controlle/action?

How can i remove the public on the url?

Delete the public folder, put your .htaccess and index.php file in your public_html folder or the equivalent. The public directory in Zend Framework is just a placeholder for whatever your actual public web directory is.

Use the standard Zend Framework .htaccess file. You don’t need any fancy rewrite rules.

You can put your ZF application files one level up from your public_html folder, or anywhere else. If you don’t put them one level up from public, make sure to change APPLICATION_PATH in index.php to reflect the correct location.
