Question
Routers don't work in my PHP / Slim project (Ubuntu, PHP, Slim, Twig, PuTTY, FileZilla, Apache)

I have been trying to host a website (php project) on Digital Ocean using Ubuntu 2.4.18 Example linkand apparently it’s pretty complicated for the inexperienced. I uploaded all files to var/www/html using FileZilla and the main router doesn’t work. Instead of domain/login router the only router that works is domain/index.php/login. I’ll show you - http://www.itayperry.com/index.php/login
Why does this happen? The index.php should’nt be there. I would love for some help :)
BTW, the project is built in a Slim Framework (with Twig) and the main file is index.php containing a routers.php requirement indise of it.

Hi @itayperry91,
This sounds like you’ve forgotten to copy your .htaccess file.
Slim recommends using these rules for Apache. (.htaccess)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
If this still doesn’t work as it’s suppose to, please check your Apache Configuration. You have to set the AllowOverride directive to “All” there.
Additionally make sure that “/public” is your root virtual directory.

There’s no option to delete or edit my question so i’ll just say these are my project files on GitHub: https://github.com/itayperry/School-Project and I’m using Apache 2.4.18 and Ubuntu 16.04.5
