XF 2.2 API endpoints not accessible after fresh install on debian buster

[Oskar Atkinson]

Howdy,

I am trying to setup a local system to test/play with the API endpoints:

fresh clean install on debian buster, mariadb. The forums are are working fine. Accessible via

http://webdev.mydomain.com/community/

However,

http://webdev.mydomain.com/community/api/[any endpoint]

gives just an 404 - not found

on my production system however, I have no problems using an endpoint. Consequently I think something in my local install is not enabled or not configured.

Thanks for any hints

Oskar

Make sure you have friendly URLs configured.

I have (tried) to compare both systems, on the working system the use of full friendly URLs is not enabled. But API works.

Is there by chance an article describing the configuration as you mentioned ?

Thanks

I figured it out.
Apache 2 on Debian Buster per default in apache2.conf does not use .htaccess - so even with mod_rewrite enabled ... it ain't work. Needs to allow override

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
