apache vhost config for Phalcon

Question

I have problems with vhost configuration for my phalcon app. I want localhost address to be pointed to var/www/html/public .

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin admin@example.host
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/public"
DirectoryIndex index.php
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost

<Directory "/var/www/html/public">
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

When I go to localhost I see "Mod-Rewrite is not enabled" but when I type localhost/public it goes into public catalog which I want to be root .

Answer 1

When you create your project with Phalcon Dev Tools , an .htaccess file will be created in root of your project instead of /public directory and the content of it is equal to :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule  ^$ public/    [L]
    RewriteRule  (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

So first you must change the DocumentRoot to:
/var/www/html
Then add the above code in your .htaccess file.

I recommend you to use PhalconDevTools for better experience & result.
