When i am fire request for installation of pimcore,

http://127.0.0.1/pimcoretest

its redirect to

http://127.0.0.1/install

Just throw the error message like,

The requested URL /install/ was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

Any clue for install pimcore in mint os using subdirectory?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Pimcore doesn't support installation in subdirectories. There is also no easy way to achieve that unofficially.

See this site: https://www.pimcore.org/docs/latest/Getting_Started/Installation.html

Keep in mind, that Pimcore needs to be installed into the document root of your web server.

I suggest you use a subdomain instead which will work perfectly fine: pimcoretest.yourdomain.com

I'm kind of late to the party, but it might still help someone..

I am guessing you want to use subdirectory so you can keep multiple projects in /var/www/html/.

You could define a sites-available in apache that listens to your desired domain and uses any subdirectory you want. Something like this.

/etc/nginx/sites-available/test.com
server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/test.com/html;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name test.com www.test.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

Make sure you define that custom domain in your hosts file (so you don't have to work with ip's or ports

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
. . .

203.0.113.5 example.com www.example.com
203.0.113.5 test.com www.test.com

It should be pretty similar with both apache and nginx. More details can be found on google, there should be tons of in-depth examples/tutorials.

Or, alternatively, use docker to setup a fully functional pimcore without wasting time on setting your apache/nginx. Ready-to-go images can be found on the Docker Hub for any kind of CMS you might need.
