Receive 404 after uncomment enablePrettyUrl YII2

Question

After uncomment enablePrettyUrl get 404 error

For example:

The requested URL /site/index was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at yiibasic.com Port 80

When I comment it again, everything is working

'components' => [
    'urlManager' => [
        'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'rules' => [
        ],
    ],
]

Can't understand what the problem is.
.htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . index.php

Please add Apache configuration and logs.

The (Yii2) URL manager supports two URL formats:

the default URL format; the pretty URL format.

By default 'enablePrettyUrl' is set to false this mean that the url have the format

your/index.php?r=post%2Fview&id=100

If you uncomment 'enablePrettyUrl' => true,

 'components' => [
  'urlManager' => [
    //'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'rules' => [
    ],
  ],
]

you enable the format for prettyUrl like:

/index.php/post/100

like as you easy see the two format are different so an explict call based on a format return a 404 error .. when you change the urlManager format enabling or disabling pretty url ..

you can call the url avoiding this problem using urlHelper

 use yii\helpers\Url;
 echo Url::to(['post/view', 'id' => 100]);

with this helper Yii2 create the proper url according on the pretty url enabling state in use

You can find a brief guide on yii2 routing here http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-runtime-routing.html

Where I should use this helper? In config or in each file, clarify please

ScaisEdge Over a year ago

The Url::to(9 must be used in each call for avoid the error if you change the prettyUrl status .. i have added a link in answer for a brief guide to yii2 routing

After adding .htaccess file in your ./web folder (if using basic template ), you must then add some rules in the urlManager section of your web.php config file...see below

'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'enableStrictParsing' => false,
            'rules' => array(
                '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
            ),
        ],
