Yii2 restful not working - rest

Question

By using this link I tried to have a restful app, but it's not working and always returned this:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please > > check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost
Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.1
I call it like this: localhost/restful/web/users
Edit:
This kind of call is not working either: localhost/restful/web/?r=users
It returned this:
Not Found (#404)
Page not found.
The above error occurred while the Web server was processing your request.
Please contact us if you think this is a server error. Thank you.

Answer 1

Have the same error (stil getting 404 Not found on each request) have solve it adding .htaccess to (my yii path)/web folder (the same where you have index.php):
# use mod_rewrite for pretty URL support
RewriteEngine on
# If a directory or a file exists, use the request directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Otherwise forward the request to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
This is because when you create an clean instance of Yii2 you don't have the .htaccess file (in my opinion probably the security reason).
for me the: (enabling curl and using it in my controller) installed via composer
composer require --prefer-dist linslin/yii2-curl "*"
use in controller
<?php
namespace app\controllers;
use yii\rest\ActiveController;
use linslin\yii2\curl;//this was added
class UserController extends ActiveController
{
Don't work.
Maybe this helps someone :)

This is my config/web.php:
<?php
$params = require(__DIR__ . '/params.php');
$config = [
'id' => 'basic',
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
'bootstrap' => ['log'],
'components' => [
'urlManager'=>[
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'user'],
],
],
'request' => [
// !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
'cookieValidationKey' => 'a',
'parsers' => [
'application/json' => 'yii\web\JsonParser',
],
],
'cache' => [
'class' => 'yii\caching\FileCache',
],
'user' => [
'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
'enableAutoLogin' => true,
],
'errorHandler' => [
'errorAction' => 'site/error',
],
'mailer' => [
'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
// send all mails to a file by default. You have to set
// 'useFileTransport' to false and configure a transport
// for the mailer to send real emails.
'useFileTransport' => true,
],
'log' => [
'traceLevel' => YII_DEBUG ? 3 : 0,
'targets' => [
[
'class' => 'yii\log\FileTarget',
'levels' => ['error', 'warning'],
],
],
],
'db' => require(__DIR__ . '/db.php'),
],
'params' => $params,
];
if (YII_ENV_DEV) {
// configuration adjustments for 'dev' environment
$config['bootstrap'][] = 'debug';
$config['modules']['debug'] = 'yii\debug\Module';
$config['bootstrap'][] = 'gii';
$config['modules']['gii'] = 'yii\gii\Module';
}
return $config;
And the controller:
<?php
namespace app\controllers;
use yii\rest\ActiveController;
class UserController extends ActiveController{
public $modelClass = 'app\models\User';
}
Also a created my model by gii.
The problem solved by enabling curl and using it in my controller.
