Question

I have a small web app that I’m in the process of deploying to a server. However, suddenly the htaccess file isn’t working (not the index file, but when I go to a url such as /login). It keeps maintaining that the file doesn’t exist, however, the file that it displays as “unfindable” definitely does exist. I checked the relative path /home/sites/xxx.co.uk/public_html/index.php displayed by the error with a file_get_contents and it shows the file.

DirectoryIndex index.php
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/?$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]

Does anyone know what is happening?

Answer 1

Sorted it, it was just something with my Hosting Provider. The site was being tested on a test url they provided (while the domain is registered) and they had a strange method of identifying your folder (needed /home/sites to be removed)
