Correct method to setup Slim framework and setting url rewrite

newbie14 · 02-22-2018, 05:35 AM

Hi,
I am very new to slim framework and also my first time doing REST API. I tried both method as below.

composer create-project slim/slim-skeleton
composer create-project slim/slim.

I am on centos 7. For the second method I notice a lot of things need to be done on your own e.g. logging etc. My issue is that I dont know

1. Which method is correct one to be followed for both security and maitenance ?

2. My issue is that for example I have tried this link http://myip/apiv1/public/ . The moment I put e.g. http://myip/apiv1/public/test1. It fail to show up but when I put http://myip/apiv1/public/index.php/test1 this shows up. So I have been reading a lot of about url rewrite. I have tried settings in the apache config file the following line

Code:

<Directory "/var/www">
    AllowOverride All
    # Allow open access:
    Require all granted
    Options -Indexes
</Directory>

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    
   
    Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride None

    Require all granted
</Directory>

I even tried the second one to AllowOverrride All but then everything stop working I revert to None. The issue is that what else am I missing here ?

Please clarify question #1 : Which method of what?

The installation default for DocumentRoot is "/var/www/html" -- is that what you have set?

Presuming then that your content is in /var/www/html/apiv1/public/test1 ?
You will need an index.htm(l) file in that directory, or you need to add index.php to the DirectoryIndex directive

The default http.conf has excellent built in documentation, but you need to understand what each directive actually does.
See the Apache documentation
