Hi There,

I have enabled mod_rewrite and make sure the following:

httpd -M | grep rewrite
rewrite_module (shared)

and my .htaccess in /var/www/html/test

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1

current condition:

when I browse to https://apps.example.com/test --> it goes to https://apps.example.com/test/auth/login and returns 404

what I missed?

The mistake is putting the rewrite rules into an .htaccess file instead of the main configuration file. The .htaccess setup is a leftover from a kind of shared hosting common in the mid to late 1990s and usually not relevant these days. Put your rewrite rules in the main configuration file, which will likely be somewhere under /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Then the following will deploy the changes, assuming there are no syntax errors:

However, even without syntax errors the rules may still need some revision to do what you actually want them to do.

As for the debugging of the rules, is /var/www/html/test/ a directory or is /var/www/html/test a file?

[root@apps ~]# apachectl configtest && apachectl graceful
Syntax OK

/var/www/html/test/ a directory
