404 Not Found; Apache Server Can't Load Simple PHP File

404 Not Found; Apache Server can't load simple php file

Apache will route a request to a VirtualHost that matches ServerName or ServerAlias first, or the one labeled _default_ or the first VirtualHost defined if there isn't one. Based on that, serves whatever file was requested, from the DocumentRoot directory for that VirtualHost or the DirectoryIndex defined if there is no file.

So, up to this point, given your (known) directory structure, you need the following configuration:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /Users/antonio-pavicevac-ortiz/Sites/
    <Directory  "/Users/antonio-pavicevac-ortiz/Sites/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Users/antonio-pavicevac-ortiz/Sites/fragrances.christinaaguilera/"
    ServerName fragrances.christinaaguilera
    ServerAlias www.fragrances.christinaaguilera
    <Directory  "/Users/antonio-pavicevac-ortiz/Sites/fragrances.christinaaguilera/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        DirectoryIndex rootfile.php
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note that I changed the MultiViews, AllowOverride and DirectoryIndex settings.

Now, when you access http://fragrances.christinaaguilera Apache would normally try to serve index.html or similar file, but with DirectoryIndex will serve that file instead. With AllowOverride All, it'll check for existence of .htaccess and apply the rules in there but I've disabled it for now. We'll take it one step at a time.

You can check if apache is picking up your configuration by executing apachectl -D DUMP_VHOSTS. It should show you the defined VirtualHosts. If there is none, make sure your virtual host config file is being included in your main httpd.conf server config by looking for Include directives like:

Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/*.conf

Make sure the path match and restart the service.

Once we get the VirtualHost up and running it's time to get the .htaccess. For that, we need to change AllowOverride back and get rid of the DirectoryIndex directive, leaving the Directory for the VirtualHost like this:

<Directory  "/Users/antonio-pavicevac-ortiz/Sites/fragrances.christinaaguilera/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local
</Directory>

And now, we should see the same redirection behaviour when accessing the site. With a bit of luck, we'll see the site. If not, we'll begin by commenting out the line RewriteBase /restage.

Most of the file should not be necessary for our purposes. I think we can get by with this minimal version to start:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /rootfile.php/$1 [L]   

That's a quite standard clean url router setup. It translates to "redirect any request that is not a physical file or directory on disk to rootfile.php/uri".

Now try to access http://fragrances.christinaaguilera/en/.

Here's a breakdown for the rest of the file:

• The AddType directives tell apache to send mime headers for those specific file extensions. You might not need them if running a modern version of apache, but just to be sure...

• The RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} lines and following RewriteRule redirect to a canonical url (the www. version). Doesn't make much sense in development, unless it's to make sure there are no extra redirections.

• All the RewriteRule hu/$ /en/ [R=301,L] you shouldn't ever need, as it's handled on the php side (if(!in_array($language, $validLanguages))). They redirect to the english version. Except for the /de/ one, that's still in use. Also leave the lang/home$ redirections in there, just to be safe.

Finally the three potentially problematic lines:

RewriteBase /restage/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !microsite
RewriteRule ^(.*)v_([0-9]*)/(.*)$ /restage/$3 [L]

Can't say for sure what they do without more info in the internal links, but here is what they translate to:

• RewriteBase basically says "for any rewriting that occurs, prepend /restage/ to it". This is file wide, so it would affect the rootfile.php redirection too. So it should be a restage directory inside your project with (mostly) the same files for this rules to make sense.
• The following two rules translate to "any request that is not a microsite and contains the string "v_" followed by numbers and a slash and any string, redirect to /restage/restage/any_string". There are two /restages in the translation because of the RewriteBase. That behaviour is what worries me the most, but as I said, need more info on the project structure. Looks like someone was working on adding some features to a copy of the site.

PHP file always ends in 404 object not found

You redirect on the first line. Get rid of that! If you do need the redirection, add it at the end!

<?php


 $handle = fopen("Project.html", "a");
 foreach($_POST as $value ) {

 fwrite ($handle, $value);
 }
 fclose($handle . "\n");

 header("location: add/Project.html" );

PHP script not working. Receiving error 404. Web server DOES support PHP

That might happen, when you don't have the action page:

<form method="post" action="index.php">

You set the action page to index.php, so if that file doesn't exist or located somewhere else,
you might get a 404 error or Object not found.

Make sure you have index.php AND it exists in the same directory with your other files.

If you want to take the action on the page itself, then do:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

localhost/~username is not working, gives 404 Not Found error

I am not sure what @jhilgeman is talking about. Apache has an extension for Per-user web directories that must be setup in order to map ~username to the home directory specified in the configuration. It looks like you have enabled the correct extension but missed the UserDir directive.

For Example: UserDir public_html will serve /home/myuser/public_html at http://your.host.tld/~myuser/

For you example, ditch the <Directory> and use the UserDir directive instead. Please read over https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/public_html.html for setup instructions.

PHP code is not being executed, but the code shows in the browser source code

Sounds like there is something wrong with your configuration, here are a few things you can check:

1. Make sure that PHP is installed and running correctly. This may sound silly, but you never know. An easy way to check is to run php -v from a command line and see if returns version information or any errors.

2. Make sure that the PHP module is listed and uncommented inside of your Apache's httpd.conf This should be something like LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" in the file. Search for LoadModule php, and make sure that there is no comment (;) in front of it.

3. Make sure that Apache's httpd.conf file has the PHP MIME type in it. This should be something like AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. This tells Apache to run .php files as PHP. Search for AddType, and then make sure there is an entry for PHP, and that it is uncommented.

4. Make sure your file has the .php extension on it, or whichever extension specified in the MIME definition in point #3, otherwise it will not be executed as PHP.

5. Make sure you are not using short tags in the PHP file (<?), these are not enabled on all servers by default and their use is discouraged. Use <?php instead (or enable short tags in your php.ini with short_open_tag=On if you have code that relies on them).

6. Make sure you are accessing your file over your webserver using an URL like http://localhost/file.php not via local file access file://localhost/www/file.php

And lastly check the PHP manual for further setup tips.

404 Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server

In httpd.conf file you need to remove #

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

after removing # line will look like this:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

I am sure your issue will be solved...

CodeIgniter: 404 Page Not Found on Live Server

You are using MVC with OOPS Concept. So there are some certain rules.

1) Your class name (ie: controller name) should be start with capital Letter.

e.g.: your controller name is 'icecream'. that should be 'Icecream'

In localhost it might not be compulsory, but in server it will check all these rules, else it can't detect the right class name.
