My hosting provider doesn't allow me to upload files on root. It only give access to public folder.
I tried to move index.php & .htaccess files from Project's public directory to Server's Public Directory. It temporarily solve the problem. But I have to change every single file structure. Otherwise it doesn't find link. So please suggest me to upload my Laravel Project on such Host.
Try this in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain-name.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain-name.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L]
Of course, replace domain-name.com with your actual domain.
What this does is, it internally forwards all requests to your public folder. For example www.domain-name.com/lorem-ipsum will be redirected to www.domain-name.com/public/lorem-ipsum.
However, I have not tested this but it should work well in theory.

I'm trying to deploy my Laravel app and block the access to the others files like .env
I put all my laravel app in the www folder, and I add this htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
But when I go to my domain url I have all the files.. seem like my htaccess is not working (he's on the Laravel app root)
Here's a simple method using only a .htaccess file placed in Laravel's root directory - e.g. alongside app, bootstrap, config, ... No changes whatsoever are necessary to your code.
The file rewrites all the requests so that requesting /file.png would in fact return /public/file.png and anything else is routed to /public/index.php. This also ensures that nothing outside the public folder can be accessed, thereby protecting any sensitive files like .env or database/*.
The simple method
This method assumes that DOCUMENT_ROOT is set properly by your Apache server. Try this first and use the 2nd method only if it doesn't work on your server.
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
# serve existing files in the /public folder as if they were in /
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}public%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule (.+) /public/$1 [L]
# route everything else to /public/index.php
RewriteRule ^ /public/index.php [L]
The slightly more complicated method
If your server doesn't set DOCUMENT_ROOT properly, then you'll need to use an absolute path in RewriteCond. That is, an absolute path on the server's filesystem. You can get it by copying the following script to the directory where your Laravel installation will reside and visiting its URL - i.e. http://example.com/get_doc_root.php.
get_doc_root.php
<?php
echo getcwd();
This should result in something like /var/www/example.com/web. Use the following .htaccess file and replace [[your path]] with the actual path you got.
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
# serve existing files in the /public folder as if they were in /
RewriteCond [[your path]]/public%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule (.+) /public/$1 [L]
# route everything else to /public/index.php
RewriteRule ^ /public/index.php [L]
In our example case, the RewriteCond line would look like this:
RewriteCond /var/www/example.com/web/public%{REQUEST_URI} -f
Let's say i have installed laravel on a subfolder: i placed all the app stuff outside the html root, renamed the "public" directory in "laravel" and moved under the html root.
I can see the app by connecting to www.mydomain.com/laravel
I used the following .htaccess in the root html folder:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/laravel/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /laravel/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ laravel/ [L]
Now i can access my site directly from www.mydomain.com
But i see that i can still access it from www.mydomain.com/laravel ... and since all the links are generated starting from the base url, the menu and every anchor href points to www.mydomain.com/laravel... even the canonical link of the pages contains "laravel".
Questions:
is there a way to avoid this??
should i worry for this?
Thanks for help.
If you are using apache, you need to configure your hosts. Either http-vhosts.conf or httpd.conf or similar file.
<VirtualHost >
...
<Directory "path/to/your/root/html/laravel">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
So all you need to do is change the directory path to point directly to your laravel folder inside of html directory.
If you do that, remove the lines you added in the .htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/laravel/
...
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ laravel/ [L]
And place the .htaccess file back in laravel directory so it can serve page directly from there.
My question as in the title
I want to keep the assets folder which contain (css, js, images) inside the application folder not outside.
If I keep the assets folder inside the application folder, I can't access to the files that inside it.
.htaccess file code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L]
The standard Application structure:
Application
app
assets
sys
.htaccess
index.php
The previous structure has no errors.
I want the structure to be like the following:
Application
app
assets
config
controllers
......
sys
.htaccess
index.php
How can I do that ?
Your problem is that the .htaccess file you're using is rewriting the URL of your static assets, breaking the links, so you need to change it.
If you keep your assets/ folder inside the root of the application and amend your .htaccess to something like this, that should solve the issue:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L]
The change is on the second line - essentially the condition is "If the route doesn't start with index.php, assets, or robots.txt, then rewrite it to include index.php at the start". The addition of assets should solve the issue.
EDIT: By default, CodeIgniter has an .htaccess file inside the application/ folder that denies access to anything inside it. If you really, really want to be able to serve your static files from that folder, you can amend that file. However, it would be a really bad idea. Your static assets should live in the web root, and trying to serve them from the application folder will be fraught with problems - if you allow access to the application/ directory from outside, it could cause some serious security issues.
im using shared hosting. i build my web application with codeigniter and my new web directory will be as follows:
/home/projName/public_html/proj_v3/
under this dir, there are index.php, .htaccess. as shown above, i separated different project version in different directories (ie: proj_v1,proj_v2, proj_v3). the web applications allows photo upload and it's stored in /home/projName/public_html/proj_v3/application/uploads. proj_v2 currently has the latest uploaded photo since it's still in use. because i have different version of projects, i want to place directory uploads in a common directory such as /home/projName/public_html. so that for any new version of projects, i won't have to move the upload folder to the new project folder. this might cause downtime.
currently, the .htaccess file in /home/projName/public_html/proj_v2 is:
Options -indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1/ [L]
i have another .htaccess in /home/projName/public_html/ is:
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
Rewriterule ^(.*)\.*$ proj_v3/index.php/$1/
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=3
basically how should i go about editing the 2nd .htaccess file in /home/projName/public_html/ so that if the web directory is domain.com/uploads/image.png, it gets the image from /home/projName/public_html/uploads. currently, the 2nd .htaccess file tells domain.com to point /home/projName/public_html/proj_v3
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png|wmv|bmp)$ /uploads/$1
Might work for you. You can add other formats as needed.
What you want to do is allow the paths to real files and folders to exist, while redirecting everything else to CodeIgniter, and you can achieve this using this in your second .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Definitely worth reading this article on the CodeIgniter website about mod rewrite
I actually gave a similar answer before: mod_rewrite in Users/<username>/Sites directory on OSX
I am a beginner in Codeigniter and I saw a CI tutorial and was just trying to do a simple thing. I downloaded the CI and added this file to controller directory, but it won't work.
<?php
class site extends CI_Controller
{
public function index()
{
echo "Hello World";
}
function dosomething()
{
echo "Do Something";
}
}
?>
When I try to access it using http://..../index.php/site I get the output ... "no input file specified" .... by the way, I named the file site.php
Just add the ? sign after index.php in the .htaccess file :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
and it would work !
Godaddy hosting it seems fixed on .htaccess, myself it is working
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
I found the answer to this question here..... The problem was hosting server... I thank all who tried .... Hope this will help others

RewriteEngine, DirectoryIndex in .htaccess file of CodeIgniter apps
I just changed the .htaccess file contents and as shown in the following links answer. And tried refreshing the page (which didn't work, and couldn't find the request to my controller) it worked.
Then just because of my doubt I undone the changes I did to my .htaccess inside my public_html folder back to original .htaccess content. So it's now as follows (which is originally it was):
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
And now also it works.
Hint: Seems like before the Rewrite Rules haven't been clearly setup within the Server context.
My file structure is as follows:
/
|- gheapp
| |- application
| L- system
|
|- public_html
| |- .htaccess
| L- index.php
And in the index.php I have set up the following paths to the system and the application:
$system_path = '../gheapp/system';
$application_folder = '../gheapp/application';
Note: by doing so, our application source code becomes hidden to the public at first.
Please, if you guys find anything wrong with my answer, comment and re-correct me!
Hope beginners would find this answer helpful.
Thanks!
My site is hosted on MochaHost, i had a tough time to setup the .htaccess file so that i can remove the index.php from my urls. However, after some googling, i combined the answer on this thread and other answers. My final working .htaccess file has the following contents:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# If your website begins from a folder e.g localhost/my_project then
# you have to change it to: RewriteBase /my_project/
# If your site begins from the root e.g. example.local/ then
# let it as it is
RewriteBase /
# Protect application and system files from being viewed when the index.php is missing
RewriteCond $1 ^(application|system|private|logs)
# Rewrite to index.php/access_denied/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/access_denied/$1 [PT,L]
# Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|public|app_upload|assets|css|js|images)
# No rewriting
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [PT,L]
# Rewrite to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
One of my Codeigniter apps started returning this error after i restarted my server.
When I checked the Codeigniter error log it says something like:
"...[error] 879#0: *273 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/pathToWebsiteRootFolder/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): ".
So I added this:
open_basedir= /pathToWebsiteRootFolder/index.php:
To a user.ini file I created in my website root folder.
And this Solved it.
FYI: Im using an NGINX web server.
However, Its strange because I didn't have to do this for the other Apps on the same server.
