htaccess file in xampp

Are you running apache? And is your index.php page in htdocs files?

You're solution is probably like this one:

Check it and tell me if this solution worked.

I have tried this earlier. I am following the steps shown in the Hampton's video.

1. First I created .json file.
2. Then, I installed monolog/monolog
3. After installing slim, when I use $app->run(); it is throwing the 404 error
4. Since I cannot create .htaccess file from txt file, I copied the file that was in \Slim\Slim.htaccess and pasted it in htdocs where I have my index.php

Basically, routing is not working in my case I guess

try this then

require('/vendor/autoload.php');

Note: I added (...) to your code

Still having the same problem

In your result page, check the element inspector for errors. ( CTRL + Shift + I )

See if in the network the connection to your index.php is established and the erros in the console.

Past here the errors after please.

No, The connection ain't established. If I echo any statement without using Slim commands, then I can get the output. But if I use following code, then it ain't working

<?php 
require('/vendor/autoload.php');
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) {
    echo "Hello, " . $name;
});
$app->run();

If I use the following code then it is working

<?php 
require '/vendor/autoload.php';

echo "Hello World!";
?>

Let's try this. On the console, see how many works you've received.

However, I think that the problem is the syntax in new\Slim\Slim();

Try this first:

$app = new slim slim();

If it now work, do the following in order to get more information

<?php 

require('/vendor/autoload.php');

console.log("work-1");

$app = new \Slim\Slim(); 

console.log("work-2");

$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) { 

console.log("work-3");
     echo "Hello, " . $name; 
console.log("work-4");
}); 

$app->run();

console.log("work-5");
?>

No it ain't working yet. I think the problem is in creating the htaccess file. It can't link the slim library files and hence it is not establishing connection.

I've read some docs ( http://docs.slimframework.com/ ) and have you instaled Slim like it is in the instructions ( via composer )?

If you have, i can only assume that the problem is in the autoload.php file. ( See if the path is correct... try putting all the path, from the beggining to the end e.g.: C:\.....\autoload.php )

Yes I have installed slim framework using composer. Also, autoload.php is working because when I put log files, it is displaying. I cannot figure out the problem

Thanks a lot @Bruno. I have figured it out and it is all working fine now

I was going to instaled and test by myself to try a thing.

So, what was the solution?

It will sound funny but I put the .htaccess file in vendor folder. On changing the file location to index.php location, It started working

I thought that they were together.

Still, it's ok. Every programer have already had this type of problem.

Continue the good work!

Yeah Thank You. I just have one more doubt. Is the content of every .htaccess file same for every project?

I think so. You can change it but you shouln't. Read more about it in those two posts:
