siwapp :: File does not exists error

We tested siwapp application, which is an opensource invoicing application, but we had some problems, the error log was full of these:



[Sat Mar 30 17:32:55 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /home/invoice/web/invoices

The site seemed to work fine otherwise.

It seemed that there was a problem with the app's .htaccess.

The main problem was here:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$

which matches all files with a dot in the filename, but the rule was ment to match files that start with a dot.

The fix for this is:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /\..+$

After that fix, the app created errors because of a request for favicon.ico.

Well, the fix for that is simple enough

RewriteRule .+/favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L]

So the whole .htaccess looks like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI -MultiViews

AddDefaultCharset utf-8 

 

    Order deny,allow

    Deny  from all

 

 

    Order deny,allow

    Deny  from all

 

  RewriteEngine On

  # Rule to test if rewrite module is available during

  # the install process

  RewriteRule test_rewrite1\.txt test_rewrite2.txt

  

  RewriteRule .+/favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L]

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble

  # getting no_script_name to work

  #RewriteBase /

  # we skip all files with .something

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /\..+$

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$

  RewriteRule .* - [L]

  # we check if the .html version is here (caching)

  RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]

  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  # no, so we redirect to our front web controller

  RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L,QSA]
