Hi, I installed Mautic into a folder just into the WWW document root. I think, the application (e.g. the campaigns) should be accessible via Code: http://.../mautic/s/campaigns/view/5 but that does not work. I have to make the URL look like Code: http://.../mautic/index.php/s/campaigns/view/5 to be able to use the application. That would not be a real issue but it becomes one when I get to the landing page functionality. When I create a landing page and insert it into an email, the generated link looks like Code: http://.../mautic/landing-page-part?ct=...tracking...code... This URL generates a 404, because the application expects the _.../index.php/..._ part which is there when I work with the frontend but is missing in the generated landing page URL. My very limited technical skills tell me that something is wrong with the URL rewrite - maybe it is not. ![:-)]( ":-)") Any ideas? Peter ---

Hey guys, I created a hosted Mautic account and there is indeed a difference between this application and the one I installed on my server. The Mautic hosted application dashboard URL is ```auto https://....mautic.com/s/dashboard ``` where mine is ```auto http://.../mautic/index.php/s/dashboard ``` I am pretty sure now that something goes wrong with the URL rewrite, the /index.php should not be there. And I guess when it is not in the URL, both landing page and and tracking will work fine. Any idea what is configured wrong in my web server? Peter ---

Hi Peter This is definitely related to a configuration mod\_rewrite issue. Couple questions: - Can you confirm your web engine? Is it apache? - Confirm if mod\_rewrite is enabled? - Confirm the .htaccess file sent with mautic is on the server? Its possible Apache may need to be configured to allow overrides in your web root: [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride) ---

Hi Chad, please find my answers inline: > [@](#): > > - Can you confirm your web engine? Is it apache? I am running Apache version 2.4.7 on a Linux server. > [@](#): > > - Confirm if mod\_rewrite is enabled? In the Loaded Modules section of phpinfo(), mod\_rewrite is listed. > [@](#): > > - Confirm the .htaccess file sent with mautic is on the server? Yes, the .htaccess file is on the server. [quote]Its possible Apache may need to be configured to allow overrides in your web root: [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride[/quote]](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride%5B/quote%5D) I inserted the following into apache2.conf and restarted the Apache service: ` Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted ` Unfortunately after inserting and restarting, the Mautic application (via http://…/mautic) produces a redirection to http://…/mautic/s/dashboard and results in a 404 (β€œThe requested URL /mautic/s/dashboard was not found on this server.”). This is the point where it gets intransparent for me. Is the apache2.conf the correct place to put the code or does it have to be the .htaccess file for the /mautic directory? Peter ---

I just found the solution - and it is rather strange/stupid. I checked the (delivered) .htaccess file and the first line was ```auto e the front controller as index file. It serves as a fallback solution when ``` although it should have been ```auto #Use the front controller as index file. It serves as a fallback solution when ``` Somehow the first three characters went missing. Strange thing, however: solved. ---
