Interesting Take On A Wiki - Testing Now

[JaredBusch]

I opened an issue on their github last night (well this morning) before I went to bed.
https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/708

The built in .htaccess file should have handled the rewrite rules and it is not.

So the quesiton for anyone who knows is why not?

The only thing that is different to me is Options +FollowSymLinks

Weren't there some major changes to Apache's syntax for the Rewrite rules? Could that be part of the issue?

This is what is in the defualt htaccess

[root@bookstack ~]# cat /var/www/html/bookstack/public/.htaccess 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

[JaredBusch]

So it looks to me like their provided file does not follow their own guide....

[JaredBusch]

I added that to the htaccess and change apache confs back and restarted apache and broke again.

Looking at httpd.conf I see some differences between that and the vhost config also. so bah.

So thinking to just go with providing a vhost file.

Btw, I noticed directory browsing is enabled by default. Is it best to make the changes to the /etc/httpd/conf.d/autoindex.conf file to disable this for the server globally?

That would be an apache security setting and not directly related to the install.

Thanks. Disabled it in the vhost file.

[black3dynamite]

I've got it. In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.

Changing <Directory "/var/www/html"> to <Directory "/var/www/html/bookstack/public">
And also changing AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All fixes the not found page.

So from start to finish, running JB's script everything worked for me out of the box, except for one thing. I had to

firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public

But that may be because my install was done with the Server DVD and not a minimal install.

The default zone is FedoraServer.

Yeah. The script JB posted uses --zone=public so that's the reason I had to do that on mine.

Not my problem that you failed to follow instruction.

[Obsolesce]

Dont specify a zone and it will default to the current one in use...

Just tested this and it does resolve the issues.
But, I think it will be cleaner to use the vhost file simply named bookstack.conf

I will clean up the above instructions and make a how to install post today.

Yes, yes, I know. I posted that for others who don't follow your instructions.

Admittedly, I did look for the "Minimal" option, but that must not be available on the 2GB iso.

The WSYWIG editor is pretty cool... You can paste in images and such from the clipboard.

It also integrates with Draw.io for inserting diagrams into your page.
