I am trying to setup a virtual server to host multiple websites,
each site's content is in /var/www/html/site.com/public_html.
There have a VirtualHost config for each site under /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.com.conf as seen here:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.com.conf:
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html
ServerName site1.com
<Directory /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html
serverName site1.com
<Directory /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
All this config is needing to do is direct the incoming domain request to its root directory, nothing else. however the moment I apply apply this config file it will cause a 301 redirect loop.
As you can see I have disabled AllowOverride to avoid interference from .htaccess to eliminate that variable, by enabling AllowOverride to all it also results in a redirect loop with no change in behaviour. In case needed hear is the httpd.conf file that's not getting applied:
.htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I have also tried completely removing the .htaccess file to eliminate that variable and it still resulted in a redirect loop.
Additionally if I where to manually change the URL to point to a file in the site like /index.php or /wp-admin/ it will result in a 302 redirect loop to that same file or folder.
index.php also does not refer back to itself but rather starts the wordpress program, and php.ini also does not have any redirect config.
I cannot find where the redirects may be happening, some guidance on potential faults in the current config of what other files may be causing redirects would be much appreciated.
I am facing one issue related to the angular app, using components in my app then when I go with the single page the page loaded successfully but when I open that URL in a new tab or reload it, give error Not found.
I am using AWS apache server for this and only facing this issue on it, in my Godaddy server page reloading working properly.
Here I am attaching my screenshot of the error.[
Thankx in advance
I think your .htaccess file is not reachable,
Create .htaccess file inside /var/www/html i.e. in the folder where your index.html is.
Put following code in it:-
RewriteEngine On
# If an existing asset or directory is requested go to it as it is
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# If the requested resource doesn't exist, use index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html
Than goto /etc/apache2 folder and open apache2.conf file with sudo.
cd /etc/apache2
sudo vim apache2.conf
Remove comment(#) of AccessFileName it will look like
AccessFileName .htaccess
Then find the line where there is
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
replace "None" with "All"
AllowOverride All
Done!
Now run command
sudo service apache2 restart
And check now!
Add .htaccess file in your project root folder.
bellow code add in your Appache .htaccess file:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
Nginx .conf file :
location / {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.html break;
}
}
execute command :
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
I have my react app running great on my local dev server but it did not work when I dump my production ready files straight into Apache's htdocs directory:
Here is what I have:
/var/www/index.html
/var/www/bundle.js
and I have
DocumentRoot /var/www
in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
The fact is that
1). when I access http://...com/ that routed me to Login page
2). After I clicked a link
<Link to="main"><button>Log In</button></Link>
the content in the browser location field become:
http://...com/main
3). Now if I reload this url (http://...com/main), I got
The requested URL /main was not found on this server
My rounting in React:
<Router history={browserHistory }>
<Route path="/" component={TopContainer}>
<IndexRoute component={Login} />
<Route path='main' component={MainContainer} />
</Route>
</Router>
What else I am missing in the apache configuration?
thanks
Change the VirtualHost configuration (typically found in /etc/httpd/conf.d\vhosts.conf) by adding the following Rewrite* lines:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/httpd/example.com
<Directory "/var/www/httpd/example.com">
...
RewriteEngine On
# Don't rewrite files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This tells Apache to serve any files that exist, but if they don't exist, just serve /index.html rather than a 404: not found.

Complete answer gratefully stolen from here
Edit: 'On' need to be uppercase in current apache version
The above solution works for Ubuntu as well but I have struggled a bit with it so here are the steps necessary to make it work.
Location of the file where you need to place the above mentioned configuration is under
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled
default is
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Then you need to make sure that RewriteEngine is running (otherwise you will get an error when restarting Apache server).
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Finally, restart Apache server
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now, it should work.
When you are using default configuration (root of the website is under /var/www/html), then all you need to do is to place
<Directory "/var/www/html">
RewriteEngine on
# Don't rewrite files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
</Directory>
to the above mentioned file under <VirtualHost ...>
If you have to use .htaccess and a sub directory then following works for me.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
What worked for me, echoing many of the answers and comments here:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Open up /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Paste in this with the path to your root:
<Directory "/var/www/PATH_TO_YOUR_ROOT">
RewriteEngine on
# Don't rewrite files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
</Directory>
sudo service apache2 restart
Pasting into the site-specific conf file did not work as earlier answers suggested.
None of the solutions posted so far appear to address the issue where missing ressources incorrectly return 200 instead of 404, which can make debugging when certain files are missing rather annoying.
My solution is to instead watch what type of resource the request expects to recieve, since browsers will ask for HTML when navigating to a page (Firefox asks for text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8) but not when accessing resources after the initial load (JS files imported via <script> or as ES6 modules ask for */*, CSS files ask for text/css,*/*;q=0.1, accessing JSON via the fetch() API will specify application/json, text/plain, */* and so on). By relying on that assumption, one can configure Apache to serve the Single page app when trying to access a non-existent file (such as a route that only works within the Single-page app) without also sending it whenever said SPA asks for a CSS file that has been renamed or a missing JSON file.
EDIT: MDN has a list of common values for the Accept header.
<Directory "/var/www/httpd/example.com">
RewriteEngine on
# Browsers will specifically ask for HTML (among other things) on initial page load
# That is, if the *user* tries to access a *nonexisting* URL, the app is loaded instead
# but if a webpage attempts to load a missing resource it will return 404.
# (You can still go to /myreactapp/favicon.ico, but a missing /myreactapp/favicon.png resource won't return 200)
# if (HTTP_ACCESS.contains('text/html') && file_not_exists(REQUEST_FILENAME))
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} text/html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [last]
# Any ressources loaded by index.html should behave correctly (i.e: Return 404 if missing)
RewriteRule ^ - [last]
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
Require all granted
</Directory>
Thank you! This worked for me.

This is what we use at work for our production react app which is using BrowserRouter from react-router:
httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:3000>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory /var/www/html/>

RequestHeader edit "If-None-Match" '^"((.*)-gzip)"$' '"$1", "$2"'
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
As you can see most of the comments in there are answers from SO, so I'm just giving back :)
configuration
Place the above file in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
The config also assumes that you have put the contents of the build folder inside /var/www/html/. If you've placed them elsewhere, then adjust the path accordingly.
ports
The VirtualHost *:3000 part is just for exposing the server's port in the docker container (httpd:buster) used to run it. This is also the same port CRA defaults to in dev. An external proxy is used to manage where the application can be accessed from.
compression
Finally, if you are interested in serving gzipped files you may want to remove the RequestHeader edit line, and then do some more work to make sure .gz files can be served:
ex.
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html application/javascript
React routing issue fixed on ubantu server
Solution:
Open the file using the console.
If you are using SSL
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default-le-ssl.conf
Add the following lines
===================================================================================
DocumentRoot /var/www/project
<Directory "/var/www/project">
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} text/html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [last]
RewriteRule ^ - [last]
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
Require all granted
Solution:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
If you've multiple virtual host then follow these steps
Goto to that VH and open the .htaccess file
add these lines and save it
restart the apache service again so that it can reflect into the settings
Go on this directory
/etc/apache2/sites-available
open File : 000-default.conf
Change its permission : 777
Paste code on bottom of file
RewriteEngine on
# Don't rewrite files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
Restart server
I'm deploying a CakePHP (1.3.2) website for the first time. It was hosted on an older server. I received the project as a zip file. I managed to install it on my localhost and made the changes I needed.
Now I have to deploy it to a new server, but I face a problem.
The routing doesn't seem to work. I guess it's an .htaccess issue.
When I access the root folder, it redirects me to /login but then I have a 404:
The requested URL /login was not found on this server.
My 3 main .htaccess files (/, /app and /app/webroot) are the following. (CakePHP is installed at the root of my virtual host)
Root
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
/app
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
/app/webroot
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
mod_rewrite seems to be activated on my server as it responds with this when I try to add it:
Module rewrite already enabled
But when I try something simple like that on top of my root .htaccess, it doesn't do anything:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*$ test.php
</IfModule>
(I was following this guide: https://docs.bolt.cm/howto/making-sure-htaccess-works)
Among a lot of things, I also tried to add that to all my .htaccess:
Option Indexes
But it didn't help.
Here is my website conf file too:
<VirtualHost xx.x.xx.xx:80>
ServerAdmin xxx#company.com
ServerName xxx.company.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/xxx.company.com
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
php_value error_log "/var/log/apache2/xxx.company.com-phperror.log"
php_flag register_globals off
<Directory "/var/www/xxx.company.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/xxx.company.com-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/xxx.company.com-access.log common
</VirtualHost>
(I added the Directory section that was not here in the first place)
After a lot of trials, I still haven't found anything that seems to solve my problem.
As I'm definitely not used to work on server side, It might be a simple thing that you will immediately spot. I hope so.
Thanks
I finally got it to work. Here are the two mistakes I made:
I had my document root set cake's root folder instead of the webroot folder. I added /app/webroot after DocumentRoot /var/www/xxx.company.com in my .conf file.
Also, I was using apache's reload function, which is actually not properly reloading. Using service apache2 restart instead does the job.
I am not an apache guru. But I want to configure my server for mass virtual hosting using CakePHP. The idea is that we will be able to easily set up multiple versions of the same application based on directory location:
production.domain.com
testv1.domain.com
etc...
So I know I have mod_vhost_alias working just fine. I have a basic directory set up where I have added a test index.html file (/var/www/htdocs/cake/test/webroot). When I point my browser to the location (test.domain.com), the index.html is displayed in the browser. My vhost is configured to pull %1 from the URL to know what directory to point to:
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/cake/%1/webroot
But when I point my browser to the cake application, I get a page not found error. I suspect it has something to do with the mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file. Here are the full configs for both:
mod_vhost_alias (in .conf file)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/cake/%1/webroot
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/cake/%1/webroot>
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
.htaccess (in webroot - default as it comes from CakePHP)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Any ideas how to get them to work together?
Turns out all it needed was:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
