So my problem is kinda weird, it only occurs when I test the application offline (on my PC with WampServer), the same code works 100% correctly online.
Here is how I use the helper (just example):
<a href="<?php
echo $this->url(array('module' => 'admin',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'approve-photo',
'id' => $this->escape($a->id),
'ret' => urlencode('admin/index/photos')),
null,
true);
?>" class="blue">approve</a>
Online, this link works great, it goes to the action which looks similar to this:
public function approvePhotoAction()
{
$request = $this->getRequest();
$photos = $this->_getTable('Photos');
$dbTrans = false;
try {
$db = $this->_getDb();
$dbTrans = $db->beginTransaction();
$photos->edit($request->getParam('id'),
array('status' => 'approved'));
$db->commit();
} catch (Exception $e) {
if (true === $dbTrans) {
$db->rollBack();
}
}
$this->_redirect(urldecode($request->getParam('ret')));
}
So online, it approves the photo and redirects back to the URL that is encoded as "ret" param in the URL ("admin/index/photos").
But offline with WampServer I click on the link and get 404 error like this:
Not Found
The requested URL /public/admin/index/approve-photo/id/1/ret/admin/index/photos was not found on this server.
What the hell?
I'm using the latest version of WampServer (WampServer 2.0i [11/07/09]). Everything else works.
Here is my .htaccess file, just in case:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [NC,L]
# Turn off magic quotes
#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
I'm using virtual hosts to test ZF projects on my local PC. Here is how I add virtual hosts.
httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myproject
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\myproject"
</VirtualHost>
the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 myproject
Any help would be appreciated because this makes testing and debugging projects on my localhost a nightmare and almost impossible task. I have to upload everything online to check if it works :(
UPDATE:
Source code of the _redirect helper (built in ZF helper):
/**
* Set redirect in response object
*
* @return void
*/
protected function _redirect($url)
{
if ($this->getUseAbsoluteUri() && !preg_match('#^(https?|ftp)://#', $url)) {
$host = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])?$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']:'');
$proto = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])&&$_SERVER['HTTPS']!=="off") ? 'https' : 'http';
$port = (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'])?$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']:80);
$uri = $proto . '://' . $host;
if ((('http' == $proto) && (80 != $port)) || (('https' == $proto) && (443 != $port))) {
$uri .= ':' . $port;
}
$url = $uri . '/' . ltrim($url, '/');
}
$this->_redirectUrl = $url;
$this->getResponse()->setRedirect($url, $this->getCode());
}
UPDATE 2:
Output of the helper offline:
/admin/index/approve-photo/id/1/ret/admin%252Findex%252Fphotos
And online (the same):
/admin/index/approve-photo/id/1/ret/admin%252Findex%252Fphotos
UPDATE 3:
OK. The problem was actually with the virtual host configuration. The document root was set to C:\wamp\www\myproject instead of C:\wamp\www\myproject\public.
And I was using this htaccess to redirect to the public folder:
RewriteEngine On
php_value upload_max_filesize 15M
php_value post_max_size 15M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
# Exclude some directories from URI rewriting
#RewriteRule ^(dir1|dir2|dir3) - [L]
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =""
RewriteRule ^.*$ /public/index.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^public/.*$ /public/index.php [NC,L]
Damn it I don't know why I forgot about this, I thought the virtual host was configured correctly to the public folder, I was 100% sure about that, I also double checked it and saw no problem (wtf? am I blind?).
