Question

I created a test hello world Slim app following instructions here.

When I make this call I get a 404 error:

http://my_server/my_app/hello/John

In the other hand, when I make this call it works grand as I get a “Hello John” message:

http://my_server/my_app/index.php/hello/John

But, of course, I don’t want index.php in my URLs… What can be wrong?

======= EDIT =======

I forgot creating .htaccess file like this (following Slim Framework documentation, and in same directory as index.php):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

Now I get this error:

/physical_path_to_my_files/index.php was not found on this server

Answer 1

If your htaccess file is in your /my_app directory, change your rules to:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /my_app/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

If it’s in your document root, you need to append the path:

RewriteRule ^ /my_app/index.php [QSA,L]
