# Use the front controller as index file. It serves as a fallback solution when # every other rewrite/redirect fails (e.g. in an aliased environment without # mod_rewrite). Additionally, this reduces the matching process for the # start page (path "/") because otherwise Apache will apply the rewriting rules # to each configured DirectoryIndex file (e.g. index.php, index.html, index.pl). DirectoryIndex app.php # By default, Apache does not evaluate symbolic links if you did not enable this # feature in your server configuration. Uncomment the following line if you # install assets as symlinks or if you experience problems related to symlinks # when compiling LESS/Sass/CoffeScript assets. # Options FollowSymlinks # Disabling MultiViews prevents unwanted negotiation, e.g. "/app" should not resolve # to the front controller "/app.php" but be rewritten to "/app.php/app". <IfModule mod_negotiation.c> Options -MultiViews </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.
