I have to take over an internal Web server that has been configured by a colleague who is no longer there. Our developpers team asks me to convert applications URLs from an Alias to a Virtualhosts (subdomain naming) system. For instance:
should become
Environment specifications:

Issue description: I can connect to https://basecolldev.mydomain.fr despite some 404 errors showing in access_log file (see at the end of the post). I have then a 404 error page when clicking the login button that redirects to https://basecolldev.mydomain.fr/login. The login page is found and displayed properly when I manually modify the URL to https://basecolldev.mydomain.fr/index.php/login. This means that /index.php is not required for home page connection but is for browsing the website. I need to permanently prevent the /index.php suffix to show up in URL.
I describe below what I have configured so far and what remains unfunctionnal.
I have first created a new vhost file /etc/apache2/vhost.d/basecolldev-ssl.conf :
<VirtualHost basecolldev.mydomain.fr:443>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/BaseCollDev/public"
ServerName basecolldev.mydomain.fr
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/basecolldev-error_log
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/basecolldev-access_log
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace8
<Directory /var/www/BaseCollDev/public>
#Order allow,deny
#allow from all
#AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI -FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have then commented the lines related to the application Directory tag in file /etc/apache2/default-server.conf :
DocumentRoot "/var/www"
<Directory "/var/www">
Options FollowSymLinks

I see no logs in /var/log/apache2/basecolldev-error_log file.
I enclose .htaccess files contents if necessary.

CodePudding user response：
You have AllowOverride None in your <Directory "/var/www">. This means your .htaccess file and therefore your mod_rewrite configuration is not being read. The simplest option is AllowOverride All (you can specify specific overrides too if you want).
You will also need to allow following symlinks (remove -FollowSymlinks, possibly add FollowSymlinks).
CodePudding user response：
I eventually managed to make it functional, by following:
File /etc/apache2/default-server.conf > changed Allow Override to All:
<Directory "/var/www">
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
File /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/basecoll-ssl.conf > removed -FollowSymlinks option:
<VirtualHost basecolldev.mydomain.fr:443>
...
<Directory /var/www/BaseCollDev/public>
...
Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Thanks for help that put me on the right way!
