Thread: Contao 4 - htaccess small issue

  1. #1

    Default Contao 4 - htaccess small issue

    Code:
    # Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
       RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:BASE}/app.php [L]
    Having above line in standard contao4 installation .htaccess file breaks the default behavior of a web server to serve index.html from a directory. Say for example, you have static html page named as index.html inside a directory "foo". With Contao 4 installation you can not see the page by calling "yourdomain.com/foo/" - error "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS". It only works if your call "yourdomain.com/foo/index.html".

    Is there any workaround? Not to mention you can add index.html at the end. But in my case, there are many such URLs already published.

    This is the complete .htaccess of a Contao 4.4.33 installation:
    Code:
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        # Allow access from all domains for webfonts (see contao/core-bundle#528)
        <FilesMatch "\.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff2?|font\.css)$">
            Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
        </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
    
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
    
        # Determine the RewriteBase automatically and set it as environment variable.
        # If you are using Apache aliases to do mass virtual hosting or installed the
        # project in a subdirectory, the base path will be prepended to allow proper
        # resolution of the app.php file and to redirect to the correct URI. It will
        # work in environments without path prefix as well, providing a safe, one-size
        # fits all solution. But as you do not need it in this case, you can comment
        # the following 2 lines to eliminate the overhead.
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
        RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
    
        # Sets the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header removed by Apache
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
        RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    
        # Redirect to URI without front controller to prevent duplicate content
        # (with and without `/app.php`). Only do this redirect on the initial
        # rewrite by Apache and not on subsequent cycles. Otherwise we would get an
        # endless redirect loop (request -> rewrite to front controller ->
        # redirect -> request -> ...).
        # So in case you get a "too many redirects" error or you always get redirected
        # to the start page because your Apache does not expose the REDIRECT_STATUS
        # environment variable, you have 2 choices:
        # - disable this feature by commenting the following 2 lines or
        # - use Apache >= 2.3.9 and replace all L flags by END flags and remove the
        #   following RewriteCond (best solution)
        RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
        RewriteRule ^app\.php(?:/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$1 [R=301,L]
    
        # If the requested filename exists, simply serve it.
        # We only want to let Apache serve files and not directories.
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
        RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    
        # Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
        RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:BASE}/app.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
        <IfModule mod_alias.c>
            # When mod_rewrite is not available, we instruct a temporary redirect of
            # the start page to the front controller explicitly so that the website
            # and the generated links can still be used.
            RedirectMatch 302 ^/$ /app.php/
            # RedirectTemp cannot be used instead
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    Specifically, look at the following part:
    Code:
        # If the requested filename exists, simply serve it.
        # We only want to let Apache serve files and not directories.
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
        RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    If you have a file named index.html and you request that file via example.org/index.html, then it will be served by Apache.

    If you want the file to be visible via example.org/ (i.e. without any additional request paths), then you would need your own directives.

    May be something like
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^$ %{ENV:BASE}/index.html [L]
    after
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]

    No, not working with
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^$ %{ENV:BASE}/index.html [L]
    as you pointed out after.
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
    Url structure is like -> https://www.domain.com/files/path1/pathN/finalfolder/ and inside the "finalfolder", I've index.html

    Oh, I thought you needed it for the root. Then you need a RewriteCond or RewriteRule, that excludes the whole files folder from the rewriting - or you add RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    Thanks, but I'm not able to solve it.
