Answer 1

In my case I updated AllowOverride All , then run sudo a2enmod rewrite to avoid Internal 500 error then restart Apache service apache2 restart

Answer 2

Try this, which used e.g. in WordPress

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

or this, which is used by e.g. Lavavel PHP Framework

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

You might also consider adding

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

before the RewriteRule to also exclude existing directories, not only existing files. But that's up to you.

Answer 3

For me, I got things to work using this line from Dehalion's answer:

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

So the index.php (or any xyz.php) file is not seen in the request url

http://localhost/demo1/mycompany/hello/Jim

With the following caveats:

1. You have this route defined:

   $app->get('/mycompany/hello/:name', doHello );

2. The root element (for the route /mycompany/..) is also the name of the file.
   That is, the route exists in a file called "mycompany.php"

Yes, it's a bit of a hack ... but since I find apache config confusing/intimidating :) ... I figure this solution is stable enough to satisfy the requirements.
