I have slim 3.0 installed and working, so long as I don’t change the default routing pattern in routing.php. I have read the website and looked several examples, no joy!

Routes.php:

```
<?php

// Routes

$app->get('/test', function ($request, $response, $args) {

// Sample log message

$this->logger->info("Slminfo '/' route");

// Render index view
return $this->renderer->render($response, 'index.phtml', array('name' => 'SLMINFO'));
});

$app->get('/[{name}]', function ($request, $response, $args) {
// Sample log message
$this->logger->info("Slminfo '/' route");

// Render index view
return $this->renderer->render($response, 'index.phtml', $args);
});

```

Then I run from the browser

{mydomain}/slminfo/public/index.php - works  
{mydomain}/slminfo/public/ - works  
and then  
{mydomain}/slminfo/public/test - 404 not found

What am I doing wrong?

I’m in no way an expert as I’m just trying to get Slim to work myself but if I understand the routes correctly, the first parameter is the route pattern. Currently you have `/test` but you are trying to access it using `{mydomain}/slminfo/public/test`. Maybe your route should be something like this:

```
$app->get('/slminfo/public/test', function ($request, $response, $args) {

// Sample log message

$this->logger->info("Slminfo '/' route");

// Render index view
return $this->renderer->render($response, 'index.phtml', array('name' => 'SLMINFO'));
});

```

Using the route pattern `/slminfo/public/test` instead. Unless you are using a `group` for `/slminfo/public`?

Just a thought.

Thank you so much for your reply. The bad news is no it didn’t work.

$app-\>get(’/test’ - no  
$app-\>get(’/public/test’ - no  
$app-\>get(’/slminfo/public/test’ - no

It turned out to be an ID10T issue! I was playing around with some rewrite rules and commented the following lines in .htaccess. See below:

RewriteEngine On  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
#RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

Everything works fine now.
