Apache

Set AllowEncodedSlashes in the server config (globally) or in the virtual host configurations to avoid decoding the encoded slashes that may cause issues for URLs. For instance, when retrieving products with a slash in the SKU via the API, you do not want that converted. The sample block is not complete and other directives are required.

<VirtualHost *:443>
  # Allow encoded slashes
  AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
</VirtualHost>

Enable the Apache rewrite module:

a2enmod rewrite

To enable the application to use the distributed .htaccess configuration file, see the guidelines in the Apache 2.4 documentation.

TIP

In Apache 2.4, the server’s default site configuration file is /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf.

For example, you can add the following to the end of 000-default.conf:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

NOTE

Sometimes, additional parameters might be required. For more information, see the Apache 2.4 documentation.

If you changed Apache settings, restart Apache:

service apache2 restart

NOTE

• If you upgraded from an earlier Apache version, first look for <Directory "/var/www/html"> or <Directory "/var/www"> in 000-default.conf.
• You must change the value of AllowOverride in the directive for the directory to which you expect to install the Adobe Commerce software. For example, to install in the web server docroot, edit the directive in <Directory /var/www>.
