I have already created a REST-API with SlimFramework which is hosted on XAMPP local on my PC. It is working perfect on my PC but when i want to put it on my “Live System” Synology NAS (Synology DS216+II) it always gives me an Error 404 and i have no clue why.

On my Synology NAS (Synology DS216+II) there is a Apache Server running (Version 2.2)  
Since i know that my API does not work on the Synology i tried to implement the “demo” example at [https://www.slimframework.com/](https://www.slimframework.com/)

The url should not contain the string `index.php`.

The src/\* folder is only for PHP class files reserved and should be “private”.  
Better put the `index.php` file into the `public` folder and define it as your DocumentRoot directory in apache.

`DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public`

Do you have a .htaccess in the `public` folder?

Content of `public/.htaccess`:

```auto
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

```
