How to access a controller with pretty url in Yii2 [duplicate] - .htaccess

Question

Simple question. I use Yii2 advanced template. In apache I have DocumentRoot "{$path}/www/yii-application1/frontend/web". How can I access /www/yii-application1/uploads in order to show image to user?
Following code does not work:
<?php echo Html::img('../../uploads/ring.jpg') ?>
It works with DocumentRoot "{$path}/www/yii-application1/". But in this case an index page of website looks like domain.com/frontend/web. But I need just domain.com.

Step : 1
First create .htaccess file in here yii-application1/.htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
# deal with backend first
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(backend)
RewriteRule ^backend/assets/(.*)$ backend/web/assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^backend/css/(.*)$ backend/web/css/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^backend/image/(.*)$ backend/web/image/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/backend/web/(assets|css|image)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(backend)
RewriteRule ^.*$ backend/web/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(assets|css|js|img|font)
RewriteRule ^assets/(.*)$ frontend/web/assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ frontend/web/css/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^js/(.*)$ frontend/web/js/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^image/(.*)$ frontend/web/image/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(frontend|backend)/web/(assets|css|js|image|font)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ frontend/web/index.php
Step : 2
Now create a components/Request.php file in common directory and write below code in this file.
Request.php file
<?php
namespace common\components;
class Request extends \yii\web\Request
{
public $web;
public $adminUrl;
public function getBaseUrl(){
return str_replace($this->web, "", parent::getBaseUrl()) . $this->adminUrl;
}
public function resolvePathInfo(){
if($this->getUrl() === $this->adminUrl){
return "";
}else{
return parent::resolvePathInfo();
}
}
}
?>
Step : 3
Now Installing component. Write below code in frontend/config/main.php and backend/config/main.php files respectively.
//Frontend
'components' => [
'user' => [
'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
'enableAutoLogin' => true,
'identityCookie' => [
'name' => '_frontendUser', // unique for frontend
]
],
'session' => [
'name' => 'PHPFRONTSESSID',
'savePath' => sys_get_temp_dir(),
],
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
'<alias:>' => 'site/<alias>',
],
],
'request'=>[
'cookieValidationKey' => '[gfhjghsdjks44fdf4fgf4fgfg5645ggxcvvc]',
'csrfParam' => '_frontendCSRF',
'class' => 'common\components\Request',
'web'=> '/frontend/web'
],
]
//Backend
'components' => [
'user' => [
'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
'enableAutoLogin' => false,
'identityCookie' => [
'name' => '_backendUser', // unique for backend
]
],
'session' => [
'name' => 'PHPBACKSESSID',
'savePath' => sys_get_temp_dir(),
],
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
],
],
'request'=>[
'cookieValidationKey' => '[ruiqwybnddiogj786789hzcassdas9dasdjufi]',
'csrfParam' => '_backendCSRF',
'class' => 'common\components\Request',
'web'=> '/backend/web',
'adminUrl' => '/backend'
],
]
Your domain.com/frontend/web problem solved to follow the above steps.
and you can access the index page for domain.com/frontend/web using domain.com.
Now You can access you image using
<?php echo Html::img('uploads/ring.jpg') ?>
Also you can access the domain.com/frontend/web/image using below code
<?= Html::img(Yii::getAlias('#web').'/image/xyz.png', ['class' => 'retina']); ?>
also you get webroot path using this Yii::getAlias('#webroot')

Answer 2

You can also use alise inside config array on web.php file of config folder like
'aliases' => [
'#uploads' => '#app/web/upload',
],
and use it in any where you want like
<?= Html::img("#uploads/image/xyz.png", ['class' => 'retina']); ?>
