I would like to install api-platform on a shared hosting with apache & php. For development purpose, I simulate this hosting via docker (so I don't want to relie on "docker" installation of apiplatform because this is not the target environment).

I simply created my project with symfony: composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"6.1.*" my_project_directory

I then installed apache-pack: composer require symfony/apache-pack

And finally api-platform: composer require api

When I run docker-compose up, Symfony is ready and avalaible at http://localhost/public but api-platform is not. (I tried http://localhost/api and http://localhost/public/api)

I created a repo to let you see: https://github.com/Niolak/api-platform-apache/tree/main/php

Could you help me to make it work please?

After a small research I found this solution:

Enable the a2enmod on your Dockerfile,

// Dockerfile

FROM php:8.1-apache

RUN apt update
RUN apt install -y git

RUN a2enmod rewrite && service apache2 restart

Move the .htaccess from public/ to the src/. Afterwards rewrite it with:

// ./src/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /public/([^\s?]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,NE,R=302]

RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*)$ public/$1 [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]

P.S: As I mentioned, this was found after a small research. I dont know if it is a good practise or not.
