How to make FallbackResource look for file always on root

Question

I'd like to create a Front Controller to process all requests to my PHP site. So I created a routes.php in my site root: http://localhost:81/site/

My site is hosted on apache in my local machine, and /site is a alias configured in apache httpd.conf.

And configured .htaccess with the FallbackResource directive:

FallbackResource /routes.php

But then I get a 404 error to any URL I access.

So I changed to: (I'm on Windows)

FallbackResource \routes.php

It works when I access http://localhost:81/site/mycontroller, it calls routes.php, but when I tried to call http://localhost:81/site/mycontroller/myaction, I get an error. Exploring the log files, I discovered that apache is searching for routes.php in a /mycontroller directory (Which does not exists)

How do I Configure FallbackResource in a way that routes.php in site root will be called regardless of the structure of the URL used?

Answer 1

The documentation says,

In a sub-URI, such as http://example.com/blog/ this sub-URI has to be supplied as local-url: [...]

and then gives FallbackResource /blog/index.php as the example in this case.

So for your situation, you would need /site/routes.php here then.
