Restler always returns 404: Not found

Question

I have installed Restler on my local server to test and make some APIs for my project. Api requests are handled via `http://localhost/myproject/api/`. The problem is that everytime i try to make a request i get the following error: ``` { "error": { "code": 404, "message": "Not Found" }, "debug": { "source": "Routes.php:383 at route stage", "stages": { "success": [ "get" ], "failure": [ "route", "negotiate", "message" ] } } } ``` Also this is my `.htaccess`: ``` RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^api(.*)$ /myproject/api/api.php [QSA,L] ``` And this is what the `api.php` looks like: ``` namespace myproject; use Luracast\Restler\Restler; require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/myproject/resources/engine/settings.php"); require_once(Settings\Path\Absolute::$library."/restler/vendor/restler.php"); $restler = new Restler(); $restler->addAPIClass("myproject\User"); $restler->handle(); ``` I guess there's some…

Accepted Answer

Here is how you can debug and find whats wrong,

Remove the namespace in api.php. It is not required and will cause issues.

Copy explorer folder to `/myproject/api` folder and add Resources class as an api class

```
$restler->addApiClass('Resources'); //this produces the needed resources.json
```

If you are adding User class with a namespace, make sure it defined under that namespace and made available with your include statements or autoloader.

You can create `/myproject/api/cache` folder and make it writable. When you instantiate restler in production mode with cache refresh as shown below, it will create routes.php in cache folder which lists all the routes information

```
$restler = new Restler(true,true); //production_mode, refresh
```

Hope you find whats wrong with the above
