Error 404 on Apache server with codeigniter

Question

It's my first time i'm uploading codeigniter project to production and i'm getting error 404 from Apache server.

error : Not Found The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at roy.my-domain.com Port 80

I've read every article for 2 days and didn't found a solution....

So here are my settings :

Checked for rewrite mod in Apache - got "Module rewrite already enabled" My project is in /var/www/roy/ so the url is roy.my-domain.com/roy

1. Apache2.conf

   <Directory /var/www/html/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Require all granted
   </Directory>
   AccessFileName .htaccess
   

2. .htaccess

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /roy/
   RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php/page/$1 [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|asset|robots\.txt)
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
   </IfModule>
   

3. config.php

   $config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/roy/';
   $config['index_page'] = '';
   

4. autoload.php (i'm using Twig)

   $autoload['libraries'] = array('database','session','twig');
   

   • I added permissions to both logs and cache dir

5. The controllers structure

   name Login.php - 
   class Login extends CI_Controller

Create a site folder inside your html one. Then, put your roy site there. Then, I would do it this way:

1 - apache2/sites-enabled/roy.my-domain.com.conf

<VirtualHost roy.my-domain.com:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site
    ServerName roy.my-domain.com
    <Directory /var/www/html/site>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

2 - .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

3 - If it's not development, it's never a good practice to use the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] superglobal. Can be changed from the client side. Just use the right url.

After you're done all that, restart apache. In Ubuntu is: $ sudo service apache2 restart
