Restler 3: 404 on all routes

Question

I am trying to use Restler in a PHP app api, but I am getting a 404 object returned on all requests. I have reviewed the following similar questions:

I am almost certain that the problem lies in the server configuration. I can run the example files in my local environment, but as soon as I push it to the live server, this problem persists.

For example, when I copy the folder _001_helloworld, which works locally, to my server, I get 404 response body:

{
error: {
code: 404,
message: "Not Found"
},
debug: {
source: "Routes.php:431 at route stage",
stages: {
success: [
"get"
],
failure: [
"route",
"negotiate",
"message"
]
}
}
}

Here is my PHPInfo

How can I fix all routes returning 404 in the response body in Restler.

Ik spent an entire day solving this exact same problem but finally managed to do so. On localhost everything was running smoothly but on the server I got the same 404 error ("Routes.php:431 at route stage") as you did.

This is what solved it for me:

I had to move the .htaccess to the root of the website and then changed the RewriteRule to have [location of your api]/index.php instead of just index.php.

My .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews
DirectoryIndex api/helloworld/index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^$ api/helloworld/index.php [QSA,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api/helloworld/index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    php_flag display_errors Off
</IfModule>

Basic hello world example can now be called like this: GET [servername]/say/hello
