I have installed MAMP on my laptop and moved my web project (developed using CodeIgniter) under MAMP's webroot.
I use an .htaccess file to hide my index.php file within my urls and everything is working fine...almost, everything.
I'm able to surf my site locally as in my remote server but some folders/files are not recognized. Looks like they are missing or the path is not matching the physical location on my laptop.
Basically I have configuration like below:
MAMP
htdocs
myFolderSite
.htaccess
site
myApplicationFolder
.htaccess
config
controllers
views
.....
...
myPublicFolder
css
images
.....
...
Surfing my site locally css and images are not visible. All the required files are present under the proper folders within myPublicFolder.
The .htaccess file I'm using in myFolderSite appears as below
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /myFolderSite/
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|upload|users|thumb|fckeditor|public|css|js|robots\.txt|sitemap2\.xml)
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
The CodeIgniter wiki has a good article on Mod Rewrite that is worth looking at. Specifically, these two lines will stop actual files and directories being redirected.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
I've used this across a few different servers and Macs, without too many problems, so hopefully it helps.

What am I doing
Open FTP -> public_html -> laravel folder.
Copy all files from local directory to laravel folder
Open URL of the site and get this on the screen
https://i.stack.imgur.com/IbsvQ.png
Problem is simple, it opens directory, and not lead to index.php in public/ directory.
I tried everything I found in Google, like:
Move .htaccess file from /public to laravel directory and change it, like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php
It works, but not completely, it load site, but it doesn't load .css and .js (static files) from public directory, which is normally, after I moved out .htaccess files, so I should change asset() everywhere in the project and add "public/", which doesn't look OK for me.
Instead of moving .htaccess I tried to edit index.php file, like most of the tutorials show:
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
to
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/vendor/autoload.php';
and
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
to
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';
It doesn't work.
Is there a way to handle this, without edit asset() everywhere in my project ?
Option 1
The best way to deploy, if you do not have access to the ssh but the ftp is:
Copy and paste the project on the parent folder of public_html
Wait for the upload, I recommend you to separate in an appropiate mode your dependencies in order to no install devDependencies in your prod site (this also applies for your JS assets).
once the entire laravel site is uplodaded, then you should have to delete the public_html folder and then from public make a symlink this will create a reference from your public folder and apache will try to access to the reference associated with the new public_html symlink.
Option 2
If you have access to your server through SSH, then I strongly recommend you to check if you have git available on your server, then you would be able to pull your master branch (this should be prepared for production). And also create the symlink using command line.
Also if you have SSH you will be able to prepare your project as it should with the commands you need to make it work.
I think the best way to deploy on shared hosting is to create a project folder outside the public_html folder
And add all you project files there
Then move all the files in project public folder to public_html with laravel default htacess file
Now open the index.php file you have moved to public_html
And define a proper path to project director outside the public_html directory example
require __DIR__.'/../your_project/vendor/autoload.php';
Change all path like this.... I hope its helps you
I've uploaded the project on a shared hosting and it is showing the complete directory structure of the project.
I've searched for the solutions and changed my .htaccess file. This is my .htaccess file now:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
but it is still showing the same directory structure. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Laravel is not designed to be run on shared hosting. You'll have to manually change its structure to run it on shared hosting.
Follow this article: https://medium.com/laravel-news/the-simple-guide-to-deploy-laravel-5-application-on-shared-hosting-1a8d0aee923e
Though I will recommend to buy a private server for laravel.
We have an added domain on a shared hosting. This domain is not the main hosting domain, but an added one that points to directory that matches the domain. The app was installed with a one click installer inside a dir like
ourdomain.com and Laravel public directory is accessed like
ourdomain.com/public
I need to use .htaccess to make /public the root of ourdomain.com and at the same time /public, so the project files and folders are protected as well. Can someone help show me how to do this with .htaccess?
If you do not have the access to change the settings in anything like CPANEL or similar then you can do it like this via .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ourdomain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ourdomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public/
RewriteRule (.*) /public/$1 [L]
Currently I have an application that works fine locally. After uploading it the server, none of the images will load. The links are served to the correct address however they 404. My images are located in the /assets/images/ from the root of the subdomain. my links are as structured:
http://sub.example.com/assets/images/filename.png
I know they are physically there as I can see them from both cpanel and in ftp. All the other folders and files in the assets directory load properly js, css,videos, fonts, etc) on the server. Even the css files get 404 errors when requesting images via relative pathing.
../images/image.png
I thought this might be a file permissions error. I checked the assets and assets/images/ and both folder is listed as a 755 for permissions which is correct. I briefly tried 777 on the images folder including its subfolders and files just to see, but made no difference.
my .htaccess in the root is as below. It currently routes the rest of my application properly.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
After reading into some other posts around this topic, I went to check to see if if it was just png files, I found that svg, jpg, gifs also don't load.
At this point I am kinda lost on where try to try next.
Just out of curiosity. Do you get the same problem if you replace all the content in your .htaccess file with the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|application|assets|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /full/path/www/index.php/$1 [L]
Replace /full/path/www/ with the absolute pathname to your root folder.
I use this approach for both CI 2 and 3 applications, working on my home server as well as on shared hosts.
I referred the CodeIgniter Site and also checked various sites for information on how to remove index.php file from Mac OS X 10.10. But still index.php is unavoidable. I need steps to remove index.php from CodeIgniter on Mac OS 10.10.
This is working:
localhost/jenny/Learn/index.php/about
This is not working:
localhost/jenny/Learn/about
As long as you are running apache the operating system should not make a difference in this case.
You need to create a .htaccess file within the your root web directory (this is the directory where the index.php file is located) and within the .htaccess file you will want to include the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
This will allow you to utilize the second url you have posted as it will determine if the requested resource is located within the webroot and if not then redirect to the index.php file without it needing to be included in the url.
If you are not running a different web server then the rewrite rule will be different but the principle is the same. Send all requests to index.php if not resource does not live in web root.
open path:/application/config/config.php
find : $config['index_page']='index.php'
replace : $config['index_page']=''
