What does your directory structure look like? Is your front controller (index.php) running inside a `mylocalhost` folder within your `public` or `public_html` folder? It looks like you might be trying to run Slim from within a subdirectory of your document root.

Okay. I’m not sure why you are trying to access `mylocalhost/hello` when the route is `'/hello'` instead of the URL `/hello`. Since you haven’t defined a route that begins with `/mylocalhost`, any URLs that try to go there will not be found.

No, you should not create a subdirectory in your project.

```php
$app->get('/', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://example.com/
}
$app->get('/home', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://example.com/home
}
$app->get('/home/{name}', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://example.com/home/mangel
    // or would also respond to http://example.com/home/tflight
}

```

Or if using something like MAMP

```php
$app->get('/', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://localhost:8080/
}
$app->get('/home', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://localhost:8080/home
}
$app->get('/home/{name}', function () {
    // would respond to something like http://localhost:8080/home/mangel
    // or would also respond to http://localhost:8080/home/tflight
}

```

Have you turned on `AllowOverride All` in Apache? Can you be certain your `.htaccess` file is being loaded?

One way to check quickly would be to change your `.htaccess` file to say anything invalid. For example just put the word hello in and save. If you load [http://matteo.local](http://matteo.local) and it _doesn’t_ fail, then your .htaccess file is not being properly loaded.

If you intentionally broke your .htaccess like I suggested and you still get the same result (working for the / route but not for /hello) then that leads me to believe your .htaccess file is not being loaded. How did you install Apache?

Something isn’t correct with your Apache setup. I noticed the config you put in your `.htaccess` is different from what is recommended. Try this, exactly.

```auto
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

```

Otherwise, it might be a good idea to reinstall Apache with a known good config.

I do it and dosn’t work, i try again to modyfy .htaccess and write “hello” and anything cange,  
my apache dosn’t load .htaccess  
now it work with MyLocalHost/index.php/hello/matteo  
probably because i change in apache2.conf  
AllowOverride All  
but .htaccess dosn’t load  
but  
MyLocalHost/hello/matteo dosn’t work

Ok i’ll try to reinstall apache
