Silverstripe Version:
4.4.1
Question:
I am in the process of changing to using the public folder and having followed the directions in the changelog for ss4.1.0 am having problems. Although the website looks fine when I try and go into admin mysite.com/admin is redirected to mysite.com/public/admin and I get a Page not found error.

Here are some questions that may shed some light on the issue :slight_smile:

  • What happens if you try to open admin/pages?
  • What are the redirect headers? (is it 301 or 302)
  • Do you have CDN / proxy or does it happen on your localhost?
  • What’s your public/.htaccess?

I have found that it only happens when I access using http: it is OK with https:
public/.htaccess below

# force https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
