how to remove url (/web/index.php) yii 2 and set route with parameter with clean url?

Question

first question: i already remove index.php, but i want remove /web also. this is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
# If a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

and this is config/web.php

'urlManager' => [
            'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
            // Disable index.php
            'showScriptName' => false,
            // Disable r= routes
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'rules' => array(
                    '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
                    '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
                    '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
            ),
        ],

it's working fine, but it's still using /web . is it possible remove /web ?

second question:

i can't set route with parameter with that clean url, my route Url::toRoute(['transaction/getrequestdetail/', 'id' => 1 ]);

how the route should be ? and how with 2 parameter route ?

Answer 1

For advanced application follow these steps:

1) Add the following htaccess to frontend/web

RewriteEngine on

# If a directory or a file exists, use the request directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Otherwise forward the request to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

2) Add the following htaccess to root folder where application is installed

# prevent directory listings
Options -Indexes
IndexIgnore */*

# follow symbolic links
Options FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^admin(/.+)?$ backend/web/$1 [L,PT]
RewriteRule ^(.+)?$ frontend/web/$1

3) Edit your frontend/config/main.php file with the following at the top

use \yii\web\Request;
$baseUrl = str_replace('/frontend/web', '', (new Request)->getBaseUrl());

4) Add the request component to the components array in the same file i.e frontend/config/main.php

'components' => [
        'request' => [
            'baseUrl' => $baseUrl,
        ],
],

That's it.Now you can access the frontend without web/index.php

For you second question you need to write the rule for it in your URL manager component.

Something like this:

'urlManager' => [
            'baseUrl' => $baseUrl,
            'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
            // Disable index.php
            'showScriptName' => false,
            // Disable r= routes
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'rules' => array(
                    'transaction/getrequestdetail/<id>' => 'transaction/getrequestdetail',
           ),
],

Answer 2

If it still isn't working after going through the answers above, then you can edit your 'apache2.conf' file in your favorite editor to change

AllowOveride None to AllowOveride All

On Ubuntu, the file is located at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

The final edit should look like

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

Finally, restart the Apache server

Answer 3

You can add the information in file configuration to remove /web:

$baseUrl = str_replace('/web', '', (new Request)->getBaseUrl());

return [
    ...
    'components' => [
            'request' => [
                'baseUrl' => $baseUrl,
     ],
      ...
    ]
]
