Question

I have a website project on my mac book pro leopard, and I am using built in apache2 and php. I’ve made my configurations in both httpd.conf and user.conf to use htaccess. Changes done like :

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

<Directory >
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

The problem is when i want to open a site like
localhost/~username/site/site/index.php/welcome, index.php does some operations and finds the right controller and the right page.

But when I try to enter site like site/welcome apache gives me the following error :

Not Found

The requested URL Users/username/Sites/site/index.php/welcome was not found on this server.

The problem is apache gets this like it is indeed a file and the error statement gives it in a file system way, but this request must be fetched to index.php instead.

my .htaccess file looks like this

<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC,QSA,L]
</ifModule>

What bothers me that this configuration works on both Linux and Windows but does not work on Mac. I feel doomed : )

Answer 1

I met the same problem too! ‘DocumentRoot’ doesn’t work for me in Lion.

But this works:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /~username/YOURPath

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