I have just created a simple REST Api following this small video using Slim Framework 3.x. I was just getting started and I followed the instructions in the video and created a simple route like this
$app->get('/', function($request, $response)
{
return 'Home';
});
This works on localserver (XAMP) when I open the link `
localserver/project_name/public/
` I get "Home" returned on the page. After that I simply Zipped the project folder and uploaded it to my Web Hosting, htdocs folder. I extracted the zipped project, which included the "composer.phar" and "vendor" folder. I try the same thing again, i.e., I run the url
www.mysite.com/project_name/public/
All I've done is change "localserver" with www.mysite.com but the browser tells me that my domain
is currently unable to handle this request.
I know this might be something very obvious but I am a novice in php and REST Api's. So any help is appreciated. Also some things I think might matter are, The web hosting that I am using is Plesk based. I have a mysql database Running on the hosting and simple php files run when run individually. For example if I run simple call a test.php file with some database query in it and some echo, it will run successfully. Even if you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Oh, and I don't have access to php.ini on the hosting. I was only provided with one login that lets me login to the hosting and I can see htdocs folder among some others. I have attached an
image of the view I get after logging in, to give you more perspective of the type of hosting I have. I am hosting a website in the httpdocs directory as well. ASP.NET developed
I just need some direction as to what I need to do to be able to publish my REST api to my hosting and be able to access it through this android app that I am building. What do i need to do on my server? What settings to change to make the api work?
