can not install in sub directory

Hi,

 

I was trying to install magento 2.4.2 in a sub directory. Installation completes successfully however I am unable to load front end as well as admin panel.

 

When I install it in a root directory it's working fine.

 

Is magento can not be installed in sub directory since 2.4.2 ?

Re: can not install in sub directory

Hi @jameswilliam 

 

Can you provide following information?

1) Which operating system are you using.

2) Which server are you using Nginx or Apache

3) Your virtual host configuration file.

It may help to debug.

Re: can not install in sub directory

Hi,

 

1) I am using Linux kernel version 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64

2) Apache 2.4

3) I am on a shared hosting environment hence I don't have virtual host file.

 

 

Re: can not install in sub directory

Also I wanted to add Magento 2.4.0 version worked well on the same server on which I am trying to install Magento 2.4.2

Re: can not install in sub directory

I just wanted to follow up on this.

 

Can anyone from Magento team reply here ?

Re: can not install in sub directory

I am having the same problem as above.

 

My setup is quite different.
Cent OS 7.9 (v92.0.10),
PHP 7.3.27
Apache 2.4.46

The previous poster didn't mention this so I don't know if the issue was the same but I can see there is no index.php file in the subdirectory and the .htaccess file has not been updated to match the sample and is still the default:

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/pub/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/setup/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/update/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dev/
RewriteRule .* /pub/$0 [L]
DirectoryIndex index.php

The env.php file etc is all populated, the database is complete and I got a successful install message.

Thanks in advance,

Si

 

Re: can not install in sub directory

Hi,

 

To make it work in subdirectory, you can use it in this way:

Add the pub/ in the baseurl in database table core_config_data .

For example: if your URL is http://example.com/abc/ , then you can update it to http://example.com/abc/pub/ .
Then it will be open on browser by hitting the URL: http://example.com/abc/pub/

Re: can not install in sub directory

Hi @areeb_ali1 

 

but wouldn't the point be you want it to load hitting http://example.com/abc/

rather than http://example.com/abc/pub/ ?

Re: can not install in sub directory

Yes,

 

But admin panel won't load.

 

when you try to access http://example.com/abc/pub/[[admin_folder]] it redirects to http://example.com/abc/[[admin_folder]]/admin and gives opps!! page not fouund.

Re: can not install in sub directory

I have managed to get a 2.4.1 in on the same domain/configuration which would not accept 2.4.2. -  are there any obvious differences between the 2 versions that could cause it?
