I am working on Yii2. My main URL is http://ip/backend/web/. Whenever a user opens this link he will be redirected towards a home page
But if a user changes the URL from http://ip/backend/web/ to http://ip/backend/ the below screen will be shown
I want all users not to access it. Like if anyone hit the http://ip/backend/ it will not allow any user to see that page
I searched for the solution and found out the following link Prevent users from accessing a url directly Yii 2 but still, I am unable to perform the task
How can I do this?
create a .htaccess file at backend folder in your project.
# prevent directory listings
Options -Indexes
IndexIgnore */*
# follow symbolic links
Options FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+)?$ web/$1
or Options -Indexes
But this is not perfect
You have to do this through the root of the project. And configure access to the frontend and backend folders. And prevent indexing all folders and files.
create a .htaccess file at root folder in your project.
For content depending on your project and folders, get help through the links below
Link 1 , Link 2, Link 3 , link 4
create a .htaccess file manually in Windows:
start Notepad and then File->Save As. And Write .htaccess and choose "All Files" as the type. Save at the end.
I have seen some websites have their own File not found pages with their logos.
I want such a page for my website.
Please tell me how to make a such type of page that shows the user if the file is not found.
First of all you need an HTML or PHP file to show when the 404 is occurs. Let's do a simple HTML file like this:
<h2> 404 Not Found! </h2>
<pre> Seems like the resource you're looking for is not found </pre>
Let's call this file 404.html.
Now you have to configure your webserver to redirect the not found request to your new HTML document.
If you're using Apache:
You can do it in different ways, the most common and recommended would be using .htaccess file, which allows you to override Apache configuration of a virtual host. However, to be able to use the .htaccess file in your virtual hosts you need to add allowOverride all inside your apache configuration.
Example of apache config:
<Directory /path/to/your/project>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All # This is the needed option
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
So now you're able to put a .htaccess file in your project, so just create it and put this inside:
ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/404.html/document
In case you're using Nginx:
You must add the error page inside the nginx configuration. Follow this guide in order to achieve it:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-to-use-custom-error-pages-on-ubuntu-14-04
if you are using Apache server
in your project folder
consider your project is in
/mySampleProject
create .htaccess file in /mySampleProject if you don't have one.
simply add this line in your .htaccess
ErrorDocument 404 /yourCustom404Template.html
I will suggest you, use a framework of whatever programming language you want to build this application. They have in-built custom arrangements for such requirement e.g.
if( file_not_found Logic ){
show 404_page
}
I have a situation to which I cannot seem to have a fix for !
The thing is I'm hosting a website on localhost (LAMP).
The website is created using Joomla Framework. The home page loads successfully when I navigate to the website on the localhost.
As soon as I click on any navigation links, a 404 error is displayed.
eg. homepage URL -
http://localhost/PortalSources/
Nav link -
http://localhost/PortalSources/tools/safety-assessment-tool.html
As soon as I manually add 'index.php' to the nav link
http://localhost/PortalSources/index.php/tools/safety-assessment-tool.html
the link starts to work and page loads successfully.
What could possibly cause this behavior ? How do I fix it so that I don't have to manually type in for every page on the website ?
You can probably find your answer here: https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search_Engine_Friendly_(SEF)_URLs
Verify .htaccess is Enabled
Check that your Apache config file allows .htaccess overrides. You must make sure overrides are enabled or the .htaccess file in your Joomla! root directory will be ignored or cause an error. In the section of your virtual host configuration file or in the main (httpd.conf) configuration file you must have something similar to the example below enabling overrides:
<Directory "/home/user/public_html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory "/path/to/htdocs">
AllowOverride All Options=[an option],[an option],...
</Directory>
There are other ways to test if .htaccess is enabled if you do not have access to your site's configuration files. Please refer to the .htaccess tutorial found on The Apache Software Foundation website for additional information.
Step by Step
These are step-by-step instructions. Please follow them in the order they are presented here. If a step fails, do not continue until you have solved the problem.
Rename the file "htaccess.txt" in your Joomla!'s base folder to ".htaccess".
This step may not be necessary. Open .htaccess in a text editor. Uncomment RewriteBase / (remove the first character, #). If Joomla is installed in its own folder, the enter the Joomla folder name after the backslash. e.g. RewriteBase /yourjoomlafolder.
Log on to your Back-end and open the Global Configuration.
Enable the Use Apache mod_rewrite/URL rewriting option and Save. This option uses the Apache mod_rewrite function to eliminate the "index.php" portion of the URL.
Check if your site works correctly. Your URLs should now look like:
http://www.example.com/the-news/1-latest-news/1-welcome-to-joomla
If this option causes errors, please see How to check if mod rewrite is enabled on your server.
If it is not enabled and you have access to the file apache/conf/httpd.conf, open that file and check if the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is uncommented. If necessary, uncomment the line and restart the Apache web server.
If mod_rewrite cannot be enabled, leave this option off. It does not matter if you leave the .htaccess file renamed.
If you think this necessary, enable Add suffix to URLs and Save. This option adds .html to the end of URLs. There are different opinions on whether this is necessary or even useful. Search engines do not seem to care if your URLs end in .html or not.
Open the Plugin Manager and enable the System - SEF plugin. This plugin adds SEF support to links in your Joomla articles. It operates directly on the HTML and does not require a special tag.
How do I download an htaccess file from another website?
How do I view my own htaccess in my browser?
I have tried to go to www.website.com/.htaccess but no success for example.
I know that there is a command that can be added to the htaccess file to disable viewing but I'm talking about htaccess files that do not include this code.
By default, Apache config has
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<Files ".ht*">
Require all denied
</Files>
So you can't, or you shouldn't be able to. It would be a security problem otherwise.
How do I download an htaccess file from another website?
That's not possible, .htaccess can contain sensitive information, that's why the default configuration prevents access to this file.
How do I view my own htaccess in my browser?
You can modify the server configuration (see how to configure apache to view hidden (.) files?) to unblock access to this file. But if you have access to this configuration, you probably have an access to the file, so you should be able to view it with another tool than your browser.
I have a website thats live and another (for amends/approval) that is in a subdirectory called 'approval'. The idea being that once its approved I replace the live site. Is there a way to restrict access to this directory unless you have a direct link - maybe through .htaccess? Any other suggestions regarding protocol for this scenario? Thanks!
I've tried something with .htacces.
You can make a 403 error page. You can't go to a directory unless you have a link.
Make a .htacces file with the following code:
## Error Page
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html
Options -Indexes
the ## means that the line is hidden, for text
ErrorDocument 403 gives the place of the 403 error file. You can also type this: /errors/403.html
Options -Indexes blocks the directory's
I hope that it works for you
