Hello,  
I’m new to php and slim too.  
I installed on my W10 laptop xampp, vs code and slim(using composer)  
I wrote code and tested locally … it works fine.

Then I copy on my shared linux server via filezilla and it doesn’t work (I got http error 500)  
I follow then suggestions in documentation and modify files as follow…,

**.htaccess**

\< IfModule mod\_rewrite.c\>  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteBase /MYSUBDOMAIN  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]  
\< /IfModule\>

**index.php**

\< ?php  
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;  
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;  
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

require **DIR**. ‘/vendor/autoload.php’;

$app = AppFactory::create();

$app-\>setBasePath(’/MYSUBDOMAIN’);

$app-\>get(’/’, function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {

```
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
{
  $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
{
  $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else
{
  $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}

```

$yourip= file\_get\_contents(“[http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}/json](http://ipinfo.io/%7B%24ip%7D/json)”);

$response-\>getBody()-\>write($yourip);  
return $response-\>withHeader(‘Content-Type’, ‘application/json’);

});

$app-\>run();  
?\>

**the skeleton of subdomain folders into linux web server is:**

\MYDOMAIN  
------\MYSUBDOMAIN  
-------------\VENDOR (as on my laptop with all subfolder)  
------------ .HTACCESS  
------------ COMPOSER.JSON  
------------ COMPOSER.LOCK  
------------ INDEX.PHP

When I enter mysubdomain into chrome url I got error 500 and inside Plesk Log of my server I see 8 Apache errors refering to a non-existent subfolders e.g.:

Error: Unable to find the directory /var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN/MYSUBDOMAIN/var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN/MYSUBDOMAIN/vendor/slim/slim/Slim: filemng failed: filemng: stat failed: No such file or directory System error 2: No such file or directory

and much more similar to this one.

I suppose I make a mistake somewhere… Anybody can tell me where?  
thanks a lot.  
Adrian

Usually you don’t need `RewriteBase /MYSUBDOMAIN` when you configure the correct apache `DocumentRoot` path.

`/var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN/MYSUBDOMAIN/var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN/MYSUBDOMAIN/vendor/s`

This path is not correct. You should point the document root to your `public/` directory of the Slim project.

Thank you very much Odan.  
I removed RewriteBase and now it works.

Have a nice day.
