Laravel htaccess

Question

I've setup a new install of Laravel on my local. It appears there are issues with htaccess or Apache settings. I've researched for a number of hours and tried everything I read.

• OSX Lion 10.7.5
• MAMP 3.0.5
• PHP 5.5.10
• mod_rewrite is being loaded.

My development server works with other sites. This is the first time I am trying Laravel 4.

I get a 403 Forbidden on the welcome page which is located at website.dev:8888/

Apache gives me this error: Directory index forbidden by Options directive

Here is my .htaccess file content:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Here are a few additional actions I've taken:

• AllowOverride is set to All in httpd.conf
• Added virtual host code section to httpd-vhosts.conf
• verified that the hosts file contains a line for the site 127.0.0.1 website.dev

I've also tried various lines in the htaccess which I found in articles and I also restarted apache each time I made changes to the conf files. No routes work. When I go to website.dev:8888/public I get a blank page, no error. If I go to a route I created such as website.dev:8888/users I get a 404 not found error.

Thank you for your help!

Solution 1

This solution worked fine, best solution ever for me. Paste this code into root htaccess. That's all. Leave all other files as they are

<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
</IfModule>

Solution 2

In the root path create a .htaccess file with

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f



RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 
#RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L] 
</IfModule>

In public directory create a .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

if you have done any changes in public/index.php file correct them with the right path then your site will be live.

Answer

Heres what I found that worked. Delete the .htaccess file inside the /public directory and then put the following into the laravel installation's document root.

Clarification

So for clarification if your laravel application is installed at /public_html/laravel you will look inside /public_html/laravel/public and delete the .htaccess file there. Then inside the /public_html/laravel directory make a new file called .htaccess

Copy the code below to a new .htaccess file in the doc root

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /public/$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ public/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Please note

As Concordus Applications noted in their answer here make sure that the Loadmodule mod_rewrite is uncommented (make sure there is not a # symbol behind it in your apache config file)

Concordus Applications also noted that you should have AllowOverride set to the appropriate setting. The example they gave was the following.

<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory> 

Please make sure to restart your apache server if you made any changes to your apache config file.

Solution 4

The accepted answer worked but not with laravel passport authentication.

There is a need to add some header tweaking:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

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

Solution 5

Make sure you have .htaccess files in both /wwwroot and /public. The content is different though: wwwroot/.htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 
#RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L] 
</IfModule>

wwwroot/public/.htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>
    RewriteEngine On    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
