The PHP Practitioner

Apache, on what operating system?

Document root is where you want php scripts to run.

I don't know about The PHP Practitioner, but here is an example, look over this folder structure:

In an index file you point to where main program is. For example before moving main app out of htdocs (public_html, www) you have:

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

after moving above htdocs, correct folder has to be adjusted, pointed to:

require __DIR__.'/../../laravel54up/vendor/autoload.php';

notice the:

/../../

The above assumes index.php is in the webroot. In example that would be: laravel54 folder.

In htaccess you can also add this line:

    RewriteEngine On

 # add this, use your url
    RewriteBase /laravel54/    

Sorry I know of any other way to explain. If NGINX just look up that setup.

@JLRDW - Thank you so much, my bro!

I want to work on basic PHP I think the document root structure you share with me is Laravel. can you explain to me a bit more?

Thanks

You know the source is on github:

https://github.com/laracasts/The-PHP-Practitioner-Full-Source-Code

Just for demo, I don't think Jeffrey sets this code above webroot. It is just for learning in development.

Or, if you want to run multiple websites on the same server, you need to look into Virtual Hosts

@JLRDW - I clone it on my laptop and run it but it throws the exception Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'No route defined for this URI.' in /home/ubuntu/workspace/learnPHP/core/Router.php:27 Stack trace: #0 /home/ubuntu/workspace/learnPHP/index.php(6): Router->direct('learnPHP') #1 {main} thrown in /home/ubuntu/workspace/learnPHP/core/Router.php on line 27

Have you modified your httpd.conf file

From

 AllowOverride None

to

AllowOverride FileInfo

Or do equivalent if NGINX, see their docs.

@JLRDW - HI! dear jlrdw. I made changes but notings gets change

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /srv/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    Require all granted
</Directory>

I made this change in apache2.conf because in my system there is no file with the name of httpd.conf

and when I make the .htaccess file and add this line of code then It shows this error

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

also try

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>  

Thank you so much

HI! can anyone answer!!!!

The section of httpd.conf to change is:

    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    # AllowOverride None      //////  old
      AllowOverride FileInfo
