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

I found this post while googling "slimframework 404". The post led me to a solution to my problem.

The Problem

I set up a site with the Slim framework using Composer and create an index.php with the following example code form slimframework.com:

<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) {
    echo "Hello, $name";
});
$app->run();

Then I try to access the page using http://localhost/hello/bob. I get back a 404 Page Not Found page.

I was able to get to access the page using http://localhost/index.php/hello/bob.

The Solution

I found the solution by looking at /vendor/slim/.htaccess (included w/ Composer Slim install) and the URL Rewriting section of the Slim framework documentation.

I added a copy of the /vendor/slim/.htaccess file to the same folder as my index.php file. The contents of the file are:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L] 

Now I can access the page using http://localhost/hello/bob.

You're right about to include the index.php on your file, but that happen because you're not working properly with your mod-rewrite Please check the following link:

In the Get Started part you could see how to configure your server (in case that you were using apache / lighttpd / ngynx)
