Question

I have built a Zend Framework application. By configuring it to read routes.ini file, my application after deployment is not going to any routes but only default route is working. I have total of 4 routes in this application and none of them are working. Apache is showing a Not Found error.

I had look at .htaccess file it is perfect and in my local it is working fine. I also checked the permissions. It is having read and write rights for www-data. I also checked Apache URL rewrite module.

I did this again and tried:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Still same issue.

My apache error log says that file does not exist.
Please tell me where I have gone wrong.

Answer 1

After researching for hours , I could notice that there was a very minor and sensitive mistake in the apache vhost file .

my entry was like this

<Directory /var/www/your_project>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

But actually my entry should be as per mssb some what like this

<Directory /var/www/your_project>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory

Since I am not an experienced webmaster I couldn’t noticed one simple thing which is
AllowOveride option which was set to None

I referred to Core apace documentation today in order find where I was wrong .

The reason for not picking .htaccess file is as follows

When AllowOveride directive is set to None, then .htaccess files are
completely ignored. In this case, the server will not even attempt to
read .htaccess files in the filesystem.

When this directive is set to All, then any directive which has the
.htaccess Context is allowed in .htaccess files.

I personally felt like Posting this entire solution for the problem to help others who may face a similar problem in future

Once again I would like to thank you all for responding to this post
