Codeigniter4 htaccess file wont work with options all - indexes

i want to setup a new codeigniter4 project.

I've upload all files into www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2

The htaccess files into www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/public makes some trouble.

If i use the default file, i always get a "500 Internal Error"

So i check line by line. so i figure out that the line "Options All -Indexes" produce this error. If i delete it, i see the welcome page. But i think there is a reason why i should add this and related to this "Options +FollowSymlinks" too.

What can caused this problem. In my codeigniter3 projects i use

"DirectoryIndex index.php
Options -Indexes"

and it works fine. Codeigniter4 seems to need it into another way.

Solution

  • After hours of testing and trieing, i find a way (but i not really understand why).

    Changing the htacess file in the public folder from

    Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

    to this

    Options -Indexes
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

    solved the problem and the codeigniter project is viewable. So maybe it could help someone.
