Some time importing a project on my local machine it happens that the Use Web Server Rewrites feature doesn't works.
This is probably due to some .htaccess custom setting
The issue on my case was this line in .htaccess file:
RewriteBase ...

This simple RewriteRule that I am using for practicing with .htaccess files works almost always:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*$ test.html
When I have the file flowers.html and I use http://localhost/flowers I get redirected to test.html, however when I rename flowers.html to flowers.php I get a 404 page with the message The requested URL /flowers was not found on this server. Does anyone know what causes this?
EDIT:
When I create an empty file called flowers it does redirect properly to test.html. What is going on here?
This does sound like a conflict with MultiViews, so try adding the following at the top of your .htaccess file to disable MultiViews:
Options -MultiViews
MultiViews is not enabled by default, so maybe this has been enabled in your server config?
When MultiViews (part of mod_negotiation) is enabled, a request for /flowers (no extension) will result in Apache searching for an appropriate file to return (based on mime-type) by trying various file extensions of files found in that directory. This is achieved with an internal subrequest before mod_rewrite runs.
However, it's not clear why this would be a problem in your case if you have no other directives? Since your directive simply rewrites everything to test.html (which should include any subrequests). (I was unable to reproduce this behaviour on my Apache 2.4 test server - hence my initial doubt.)
Recently, I migrated my website from local machine to server machine. The website URL is http://www.example.com/myweb
I noticed that only front page is visible and other pages are showing 404 error.
After reading this answer, I got to know that this is happening because of clean URL module. I enabled RewriteBase myweb in .htaccess file but It doesn't work out. Finally I thought of disabling Clean URL temporary as told here. This works well.
Now I wanted to enabled it again. It is showing following error-
Clean URLs cannot be enabled.
Below is the screenshot-
I can see some directory permissions error in status report at admin/reports/status. Are these related to each other?
You need to change your Apache server setting on new server.
Enable 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so' line in httpd.conf file on your server and restart server
Check if .htaccess works and also check if you have AllowOverrides All in your virtualHost config in Apache.
I just moved my website to VPS, but I noticed that it's adding my Cpanel username for some reason:
For Example: mysite.com/~CpanelUserName/articles/hello-world
I believe I have to do something to the .htaccess file
btw, I am using Drupal
Note: If I take out the ~CpanelUserName from the url, it does display the article
This should work for you
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^USERNAME/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Somehow this fixed itself when I uploaded an older mysql database backup. I checked my .htaccess file and it's the original, does not have the code #howlin provided. Seems like it was a database issue. Thanks #Howlin for trying to help. What caused this still remains a mystery.
I added .htaccess (for rewriting URLs) in my project's root directory but it's not working. I checked twice, the same file is working fine in Eclipse.
How do I configure PhpStorm to use .htaccess?
Indeed, PHP's built-in web server will never fully support .htaccess features. Note: it is PHP's, it is NOT PHPStorm's built-in server.
But there is a way around.
Most of the time, rewrites are needed only to redirect all the nonstatic file queries to index.php. If you only need this, you can set the server's "router script" in PHPStorm run configuration to index.php.
After that, a modest hack in index.php to serve static files from the drive may speed things up.
Add to the very beginning of index.php:
if (preg_match('/\.(?:php|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|css|js)\??.*$/',
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]))
{
return false; // serve the requested resource as-is.
}
Do you use the same server/configuration when working with PhpStorm and Eclipse?
As it was explained in the comments, it has nothing to do with the IDE, but with the web server (Apache) and its configuration.
You can edit .htaccess with any editor, if this virtualhost/directory configuration has AllowOverride All, ModRewrite is enabled and your rewrite rules are correct, it will work just fine.
You need to ensure that your PHP files are served from the correctly configured web server.
A site I've been working on, which has been working fine on my local dev and live dev environments is giving me issues when I try to deploy it to a live server (the client wants to host it with their existing hosting provider).
I uploaded the site to the server and updated the database config as I have done many times before on both my and other's servers without issue. This time, however, I was presented with:
SilverStripe Framework requires a $databaseConfig defined.
When I removed the .htaccess file from the root folder, the site appeared, however, all the URLs appeared like so:
www.domain.com/index.php/page_name
After a few searches, I came across a solution to the index.php issue; to add the following to my _config file
Director::setBaseURL('/');
I did this and the URL's appeared correctly, however navigating to them would give me a 404.
I reinstated the htaccess file and narrowed it down to this block:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule .* framework/main.php?url=%1 [QSA]
When this is in place, I get the database config error mentioned above, when it's not there, my urls produce 404s
Does anyone have any insight as to what can be going on here? I've had a lot of back and forth with the host and he's not very knowledgable and can't offer any advice and I'm no genius when it comes to this side of things.
I'll assume you are using SilverStripe 3.1+ so the Director config could/should be placed in your YAML config file (the static will be deprecated):
Director:
alternate_base_url: '/'
Although this helps mainly on issues with base_tag.
The main ModRewrite issue might however be solved by adding a RewriteBase:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase '/'
You can use '/' or the folder SS is installed in if not the public root. This is usually automatically handled by the SilverStripe installer by checking $base = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); and other little things. Check install.php5 line 1483, you might be able to use this to figure out your RewriteBase.
If that doesn't work, try a fresh install instead of copying to the server your local install.
Do you use a _ss_enviroment.php to define your database config details? I had a similar experience like from in a project i migrated from SS 2.4 to 3.1.2.
Set this in your site _config.php
// Use _ss_environment.php file for configuration
//Please note that your system should have a file, _ss_environment.php, with database connectivity data,
require_once("conf/ConfigureFromEnv.php");
global $database;
$database = '';
I hope this helps
