Slim Framework always return 404 Error

Question

These days i\'m using Slim Framework as my simplest tool to develop the php web api. Using these two articles:

• Coenraets
• CodingThis

Answer 1

Additionally mod_rewrite.so module must be loaded in httpd.conf or you will receive error 500.

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Answer 2

If you're using Slim on Ubuntu 16.04 and you're getting the 404 error. Try this test from Tod Birdsall above:

If this works

http://localhost/index.php/hello/bob

and this doesnt work

http://localhost/hello/bob

and your .htaccess file in the same directory as your index.php and is configured as follows:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
    </IfModule>

And you still get the 404 error on Apache.

Try turning on Apache mod_rewrite as follows and restart Apache:

$sudo a2enmod rewrite

$sudo service apache2 restart

The Slim API should work correctly now as the provided .htaccess file will only work if mod_rewrite is enabled and that not the default on a clean install.

Here is how to turn off mod_rewirte if you need to.

$sudo a2dismod rewrite

$sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 3

For people who still search answers because previous doesn't work, this works for me :

RewriteBase /<base_of_your_project>/

Answer 4

For me the problem was that I'd forgotten to provide a .htaccess file in my document root.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Answer 5

Problem is solved!

My apache is actually normal, and the .htaccess file provided earlier also normal.

The clue is the URL that I used. Previously I used the invalid URL, thus it returned the 404 page error. I just realized it when I Tried to access the newer GET URL via browser with this one;

http://localhost/dev/index.php/getUsers/user1

and now that works!

I just realized it once I found these statements;

If Slim does not find routes with URIs that match the HTTP request URI, Slim will automatically return a 404 Not Found response.

If Slim finds routes with URIs that match the HTTP request URI but not the HTTP request method, Slim will automatically return a 405 Method Not Allowed response with an Allow: header whose value lists HTTP methods that are acceptable for the requested resource.

Answer 6

I think your problem is at the "Resource parser" because you are no defining $id parameter at the request so, please, try this:

//1. Require Slim
require('Slim/Slim.php');

//2. Instantiate Slim
$app = new Slim();

//3. Define routes
$app->get('/books/:id/', function ($id) {
    echo json_encode( getBook($id) );
});

// some stuff
$app->run();

Please, tell us if it's ok
