HowTo get rid of .../index.php/... in nextcloud path ( shorter URL)

📑 How to
1

Hi
I’m on a hosted server from Ionos

I think there is a way to get rid of e.g.

mymextcloud.x/index.php/apps/files/?dir=… in the path.

with htaccess and/or config.php

BUT!
I don’t know how! :unamused:

Hope for working exact REAL solution
Not one from looking into a fogged glass ball :face_with_monocle:

When you’re using Apache put this at the bottom of your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options -MultiViews
  RewriteRule ^core/js/oc.js$ index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]
  RewriteRule ^core/preview.png$ index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(css|js|svg|gif|png|html|ttf|woff2?|ico|jpg|jpeg|map|webm|mp4)$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !core/img/favicon.ico$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !core/img/manifest.json$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/remote.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/public.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/cron.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/core/ajax/update.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/status.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/ocs/v1.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/ocs/v2.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/robots.txt
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/updater/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/ocs-provider/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/ocm-provider/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/(acme-challenge|pki-validation)/.*
  RewriteRule . index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]
  RewriteBase /
  <IfModule mod_env.c>
    SetEnv front_controller_active true
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
      DirectorySlash off
    </IfModule>
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>

Or follow the documentation and alter your .htaccess automatically with the occ command described here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#pretty-urls

Is there really nobody who can describe Ho-To achieve this?

Just for the record, I followed this and managed to set it up in five minutes. It works fine for me. If it doesn’t, it’s likely that you are missing some components e.g. the env or rewrite modules. I would double check the log to diagnose.

In case the automatically added .htaccess configuration SetEnv front_controller_active true does not work for your environment:
Edit config/config.php and add 'htaccess.IgnoreFrontController' => true.

See Configuration Parameters — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation for a detailed description.

Hi.
I’m having trouble to run the OCC command to re-generate the .htaccess. Can someone tell me which changes are made when I set

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://example.org/',
'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',

I would like to do it manually.

Also how does it look when I add 'htaccess.IgnoreFrontController' => true, in addition.

thanks
