Configure Apache2 with PHP 5.6 to use Fuelphp

Question

Well come on, I use Ubuntu, php5.6, apache2, mysql-server, FuelPHP. And for now I’m using the xampp that can run my applications correctly (however I have to start it always and it does not let me log in with more than one user). So I want to start using the machine apache without depending on the xampp.

The problem is this, when I access my system with localhost/meuprojeto/public_html/ he throws me to (localhost/meuprojeto/public_html/users/login) which would be my correct login page but gives the following error:

The requested URL /meuprojeto/public_html/users/login was not found on this server

I suspect the error is in apache2.conf, that is not recognizing the .htaccess which sits within /meuprojeto/public_html/. The apache2.conf is as follows:

Directory

    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied

/Directory

Directory /usr/share

    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted

/Directory

Directory /var/www

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted

/Directory

I’d like you to help me find the mistake, or tell me the possible mistake.

Your problem is certainly related to Virtualhost, which is nothing more than the person responsible for redirecting a particular address to a location other than the localhost’s root Document (simply explaining).

So instead of directly accessing your application from localhost, always create a virtual host. This reduces the amount of problems related to directories and redirects.

So just do the following: create a virtual host for the address fuelphp.place (or any other you prefer):

# altere o fuelphp.local para o endereço que desejar
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName fuelphp.local
        ServerAlias fuelphp.local
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/meuprojeto/public_html

        <Directory /var/www/meuprojeto/public_html>
            Options Indexes Includes FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
            Require all granted
            IndexOptions +FancyIndexing
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
            DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm index.php
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Remarks

• Don’t forget to add the address you chose to your hosts files: /etc/hosts or C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts.
  • Just add the following line at the end of the file: 127.0.0.1 fuelphp.local (or any other address of your choice)
• Check whether the mod_rewrite is entitled to apache.conf (/etc/apache2/apache.conf), otherwise redirects will not work properly.
  • One way to test this is to create a file - info.php for example - in localhost’s Document root, add the following code to the file: <?php phpinfo(); ?> - and call it by the browser. With this you can search whether the extension exists or not.
