These rewrite rules can be used if you don't have direct access to alter the virtual host configuration, which is common in a shared hosting setup. For pure legacy or eZ Publish 4.x installation see .htaccess_root in the root of the project.
Please find an example of the ".htaccess" rewrite rules below:
# Copy this file to a new file called .htaccess in your eZ Publish web folder # to secure your installation by turning on .htaccess based virtual host mode. # Environment. # Possible values: "prod" and "dev" out-of-the-box, other values possible with proper configuration # Defaults to "prod" if omitted SetEnv ENVIRONMENT "prod" # Whether to use Symfony's ApcClassLoader. # Possible values: 0 or 1 # Defaults to 0 if omitted #SetEnv USE_APC_CLASSLOADER 0 # Prefix used when USE_APC_CLASSLOADER is set to 1. # Use a unique prefix in order to prevent cache key conflicts # with other applications also using APC. # Defaults to "ezpublish" if omitted #SetEnv APC_CLASSLOADER_PREFIX "ezpublish" # Whether to use debugging. # Possible values: 0 or 1 # Defaults to 0 if omitted, unless ENVIRONMENT is set to: "dev" #SetEnv USE_DEBUGGING 0 # Whether to use Symfony's HTTP Caching. # Disable it if you are using an external reverse proxy (e.g. Varnish) # Possible values: 0 or 1 # Defaults to 1 if omitted, unless ENVIRONMENT is set to: "dev" #SetEnv USE_HTTP_CACHE 1 # Defines the proxies to trust. # Separate entries by a comma # Example: "proxy1.example.com,proxy2.example.org" # By default, no trusted proxies are set #SetEnv TRUSTED_PROXIES "127.0.0.1" DirectoryIndex index.php RewriteEngine On # v1 rest API required by Legacy before 5.4.3 and 5.3.6 # Uncomment this RewriteRule if you are using 5.4.2 and lower or 5.3.5 and lower # RewriteRule ^api/[^/]+/v1/ /index_rest.php [L] RewriteRule ^var/([^/]+/)?storage/images(-versioned)?/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^var/([^/]+/)?cache/(texttoimage|public)/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript|fonts)/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^share/icons/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|flash|images|lib|javascripts?)/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^var/storage/packages/.* - [L] # Makes it possible to placed your favicon at the root of your # eZ Publish instance.
