Dear support,

I just can't get it. I am trying to access an API in my "https://mywebsite.com/MyApi" directory where an index.php lives.

However I get the 404 message from 4SEO. Any idea what's going wrong and how to fix?. I can't find any false "/MyApi" page or 4SEF entry.

With kind regards, Nico

Any idea what's going wrong and how to fix

The fix is not in Joomla or in 4SEO.

Your server is misconfigured, likely your .htaccess directs any request for a file that does not exist to Joomla, which is why you see a Joomla 404 (whether it's 4SEO showing the 404 content or Joomla does not matter, it's still a Joomla 404).

Looking at your URL, are you sure the MyApi case is right? this is a bit unusual.

And then of course, there's file access permission: the webserver process must be able to access that folder and file.

Lastly, web server block for /MyApi must be configured to use index.php as index file.

Best regards

Hi Yannick,

Ah yes, it must be something in that .htaccess monster. Grr. why didn't I figure that out myself ;-) I just rebuilt it with an AdminTools option and now it works fine.

Thanks a lot for your great and fast support,

Nico
