16,335 PointsAfter adding .htaccess error 500
Everything was great. Added the .htaccess file and now getting errors.
RewriteEngine On
# Some hosts may require you to use the `RewriteBase` directive.
# If you need to use the `RewriteBase` directive, it should be the
# absolute physical path to the directory that contains this htaccess file.
#
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
this is the snippet given in the video. I've even tried changing the RewriteBase so something like RewriteBase /root
I'm running MAMP, the document root is a directory up, the index.php lives in Sites/composer/

The location for the httpd.conf in MAMP (OS X) is at: /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

Maybe you need to install Slim v 2. , rather than the current version.

16,335 PointsThis really feels like it's going to work. But, do you think it'll mess with the previous settings? I don't want other projects to be ruined now since I'm tinkering with this. Thanks

17,549 PointsIf you are afraid of messing up the .htaccess file, you can always make a copy first :) If it doesn't work, revert back to your working copy.
