Question

I’m trying to get FuelPHP to work on my server. I don’t have access to use .htaccess file for RewriteRule. However, my host has allowed me to specify a part of the httpd.conf file.

The following works for what I want:

<Directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sandbox/username/public>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

However, I need it to work for more than just “username” in there. How can I use wildcards with this Directory so that it works for any values of “username” for a one-time solution?

I found this advice on the apache manual, but I’m not sure how to get it to work with the RewriteRule.

Tried the following but it didn’t work:

<Directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sandbox/*/public>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

Please help!

You were close with the apache manual:

<Directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sandbox/*/public>

to

<Directory ~ "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sandbox/.*/public">
