Mysite.com/flarum to redirect the correct folder (Apache)

iec989

So I want mysite.com/flarum to actually use the Flarum folder as a root folder.

I'm using apache and used "Alias". This partially works, although there are routes that are not working.

Is there any clean way of having mysite.com/flarum redirecting to the flarum folder?

My vhost looks like

> <VirtualHost mysite.test:80>
  DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\public"
  ServerAdmin mysite.test
  <Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
  </Directory>
  Alias /flarum "C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\public"
	<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum">
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>
`</VirtualHost>`

I'm using Laravel 5.0

Hi, iec989 for me helped the following:

Write a .htaccess file in /forum/ to redirect all the requests from /forum/ to /forum/public/

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [QSA,L]

Which routes aren't working? I'm using a similar setup

The Admin route, but also when you try to post a comment. The settings section is working more or less fine though

Can you share your setup?

XAMPP, PHP 7.1 version on Windows 10

Flarum is installed in C:\xampp\sites\flarum

in httpd-xampp.conf

Alias /forum "C:/xampp/sites/flarum/public"
<Directory "C:/xampp/sites/flarum/public">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

in C:\xampp\htdocs.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^$ /forum [R=302,L]
</IfModule>

(I use a 302 redirect for testing so Firefox doesn't cache it)

It's currently working as expected. Last night, I was having a strange problem where logging in would fail silently. My flarum folder was in a different location, but I thought I had it configured correctly for that location then, so I'm not sure what happened but here we are.

EDIT: I removed the .htaccess from my htdocs folder and it works the same. (I put it there because that's how I want the live server to behave)

Oh! I've got it! You need AllowOverride in your Directory tag for .htaccess to work.
