.htaccess config with symbolic links and index files not working as expected

Question

Like a lot of web developers, I like to use .htaccess to direct all traffic to a domain through a single point of entry when the request isn\'t for a file that exists in the pub

Answer 1

The -l flag references symbolic links

RewriteEngine On
# enable symbolic links
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php [L]
