Why TYPO3 Realurl works but page not found - .htaccess

We installed realurl 2.2.0 in TYPO3 8.7 LTS. The default TYPO3 .htaccess file is copied to the index folder and we use the following settings (domain replaced):
vhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/examplecom/htdocs
<Directory /var/www/examplecom/htdocs/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Typoscript:
config.tx_realurl_enable = 1
config.simulateStaticDocuments = 0
config.baseURL = http://example.com/
Realurl is set to automatic.
Server runs with php 7.0 and Apache 2.
The links in the generated HMENU works properly. But when I click on one of the navigation elements a 404 page not found message appears. Why is that? How to fix?

Solution is to enable apache module rewrite:
a2enmod rewrite

The site does not see the frontend

I'm trying to launch a website using apache2 through a remote server in the PuttY program. The site gives a 503 error. There are no errors in the logs. All necessary components for operation are installed.
Maybe I made a mistake in the code (although I wrote the backend in the same way and it works fine)
ServerName test.site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test/frontend/web/
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
<Directory /var/www/test/frontend/web/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Options all
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htac>
AllowOverride All
# Controls who can get stuff from this server file
#Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
<IfModule mpm_peruser_module>
ServerEnvironment apache apache
</IfModule>
ErrorLog /${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test.lan-error.log
CustomLog /${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test.lan-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>```

How to redirect wildcard subdomain to my domain

I would like to redirect wildcard subdomain to my actual domain.
like this (I already have error.example.com)
dsfas.example.com -> error.example.com
but I could not do this after hours of searching. Is there a solution to this.
I am using apache
You can do this by creating a “catch-all” Apache configuration and redirecting to the domain you specify.
Create an Apache configuration file with a name like zzz-catchall.conf (so that it’s the last file alphabetically in the directory) and paste this into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin none#noaddy.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/catch/public
ServerName catch.example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com *.*
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/catch-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/catch-access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/catch/public>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Be sure to change the domain names and directories accordingly.
In the /var/www/catch/public (or whatever) directory, you can set up a redirect a number of ways, but .htaccess would be simple enough:
Redirect 301 / https://error.example.com/
Ensure the virtual host configuration file is enabled, and reload Apache. That should get you going 👍🏻

Resolving virtual hosts apache 2

I'm trying to setup my apache server to access certain folders when I type addresses like test1.example.com test2.example.com etc.
So far I read and did many things but with no success yet. I'll be very thankful if you can help me.
So to start I'm using ubuntu 12.10 as my desktop and I've set up apache server there. I've added example.com in hosts resolving to 127.0.0.1. So far no problems. I've enable vhost_alias and mod_rewrite in apache and I'm using this for my virtual server
NameVirtualHost *:80
UseCanonicalName Off
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?([^\.]+).example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1 [F]
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/example/server/projects/%1/public_html
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
<Directory /home/radoslav/server/projects>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
#log file for this server
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com.log combined
</VirtualHost>
But when I open test.example.com it says that browser can find test.example.com, no matter that I have this directory in the path specified. Just to clear things up apache have permissions to read this directory so it's not this. When I ping example.com from console I get ping but if I ping test.example.com I get error that can not find host. As you can see obviously it's not resolving the adress no matter that I've setup everything correcly.
Any help guys?
You need to add test.example.com and any other hostnames you want to use in the host file. The host file does not supports wildcard.

.htaccess not being read

Iam trying to redirect my home page or any other page on the site to a particular php page .
This is my htaccess
Redirect 301 http://test.com/info http://test.com/get_forms_data.php
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^test.php$ http://test.com/get_forms_data.php [R=301,L]
I have checked my apache server .rewrite is enabled .
It still doesnt work .
If no matter what you put into your .htaccess file, you don't even get an error, that means that you probably need to have
AllowOverride All
set in your site configuration.
If you're on ubuntu, the place to look for the configuration is /etc/apache2/sites-available/. There you should find a file called default if this is a stock install of the default LAMP stack (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP).
The key part there is this:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Now change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All. After that don't forget to restart your apache like so:
$ service apache2 restart
As an addition to Morgan's answer, putting AllowOverride All in your virtual host is sometimes not enough. I had this in my virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
<Directory />
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
You would expect this to work, wouldn't you, <Directory /> means it should be applied to everywhere on the file system. But .htaccess was still being ignored. Restarting the server did not help. I put junk in the .htaccess file to confirm it was not being read.
My mistake was assuming a virtual host overrides the global configuration. Kind of it does: my above configuration overrides any global settings for the / directory. But the global configuration overrides it back for /var/www/ and below. My fix is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
<Directory /var/www>
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
(this assumes none of the other configuration needed to apply outside /var/www; if it does, make a separate <Directory /> block for just that special configuration.)
I was struggling with the same problem, and Darren Cook's answer gave me the definitive clue to find the solution.
My app was in some folder out of th public www path, lt's say in /opt/my_app.
I couldn't create a VirtualHost, so I created a symlink in Apache's public www ponting to my folder:
/var/www/html/my_app -> /opt/my_app
The thing is, in my App's Apache config file, I was specifying:
<Directory /opt/my_app>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
And my .htaccess file wasn't being read. Then I saw that in Apache's configuration there was this:
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Then I realised that Apache config files do not care about symlinks, and therefore the general rule was being applied to my App's foler. I changed Directory to:
<Directory /var/www/html/my_app>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
And everything worked.
If Redirection doesn't work inspite of updating apache2.conf
According to the accepted answer, I updated AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All in the apache2.conf file, however redirection via .htaccess file was still not working for me!
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All # did not work inspite of setting to "All"
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
What worked for me...
I had to also enable module redirection
// enable module redirection
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Of course, do not to forget to restart your apache server for the changes to take effect
Reference
Assuming /var/www/html is the working directory:
Change from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

ubuntu returns 500 error when .htaccess enabled

I'm currently moving a dev magento build to my live test subdomain on ubuntu and using Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP).
If I rename my .htaccess file to .htaccess and refresh my subdomain url, I get an internal server error 500. If I rename the .htaccess file to .htaccess.bak, and refresh, the subdomain displays my magento store fine. BUT, if I try to navigate, since the index.php isn't removed in the .htaccess file, all my links are dead unless I insert index.php between my root url and the actual page/directory I'm navigating to.
I tried over riding the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default and /etc/apache2/sites-available/default files to AllowOverride All:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
<FilesMatch "access_log|error_log">
Deny from All
</FilesMatch>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel debug
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combineddefault
but changing that in either file, or both, and then reenabling the .htaccess file still gives me the 500 error.
anything I'm doing wrong here? Somewhere else I should be placing the mod rewrite information?
thanks!
I know this is kind of dead but for those with this issue check your /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to see if rewrite.load is there if not try to copy it from the /etc/apache2/mods-available folder that fixed the issue for me. You will also have to have the .htaccess override enabled for that
is it rules available?
maybe apache is disabled rewrite mod,you can try to enable.
type 'a2enmod rewrite' to turn on.
