PHP Building Websites with PHP Slim Basics & Twig Templates Including & Running Slim

including .htaccess still returning 404 page not found error

I've got a problem with following your course because of stuck on routing issues. The given .htaccess template doesn't work properly as well as the template from slim framework site. Despite it is quite common problem I wasn't able to solve it by searchin forums. Please help!

the uset .htaccess is as follows:

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]

Hi, I am having the same problem. I am going through the course on my local Mac. It is running apache but I seem to have gotten stuck at this point. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Przemysłąw!

First things first :) Have a few questions for you.

What web server do you use nginx or apache? Can you show their *.conf files, and conf file this site/project?

One thing to note, .htaccess file wont work just by itself. You need web server to handle it properly.

Best regards.

Hi and thanks for response.

I tried it with Treehouse course "Building Websites with PHP" (https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/19083832#) which returns simple Page not found message. Then I tried with Apache server (Xampp), and got more sophisticated error https://snag.gy/Ohos2Z.jpg

cheers

Hi Przemysłąw.

I'm sorry for late response. Error explained few things. Can you show me your app.php file?

Verify your get method has a "/" after "hello"

$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) {
  echo "Hello, $name";
});
