API not working: <p>The requested URL /api/v0 was not found on this server.</p>

When trying to access the API from another server I get 404 not found.

Example:

#curl -H 'X-Auth-Token: MYTOKEN' 'https://librenms.myurl.se/api/v0'
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /api/v0 was not found on this server.</p>
</body></html>

Here’s my Apache2 config:

check https://docs.librenms.org/Installation/Installation-Ubuntu-1804-Apache/

make sure you enabled rewrite mod for apache

a2enmod rewrite
systemctl restart apache2

API url is a rewrite rule in the .htaccess

Thank you for the answer but the problem remains. Rewrite is enabled.

root@librenms:/opt/librenms# a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled
root@librenms:/opt/librenms# systemctl restart apache2
root@librenms:/opt/librenms#

hmm check your .htaccess exists in /opt/librenms/html

Otherwise it might be something else interferring in your apache config, i don’t use it but for example this isn’t in the guide:
<FilesMatch “.+.php$”>
SetHandler “proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm-librenms.sock|fcgi://localhost”

Try to get your apache and php settings to match exactly here first https://docs.librenms.org/Installation/Installation-Ubuntu-1804-Apache/

Those lines are for enabling PHP-FPM per: https://docs.librenms.org/Installation/Install-LibreNMS/
I want PHP-FPM as the WebUI seems much snappier with it. I can’t see how that would affect apache2 ignoring the .htaccess.

root@librenms:/opt/librenms# cat /opt/librenms/html/.htaccess

Dont want to upgrade mariadb atm as it will make holes in my graphs but this shouldn’t affect Apache2 ignoring the .htaccess either.

Ah ok, not sure then but pretty sure its just something to do with the apache config, do you have another default conf file like /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default if yes, double check the AllowOverride setting is set like this

AllowOverride All

Also as another test change the order in your libre conf file to

<Directory "/opt/librenms/html/">
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  </Directory>

Doesn’t look like you are listening on port 80 in that config file either, do you have another?

Sadly, changing the order didn’t help. No we don’t listen on Port 80, only HTTPS.

000-default is removed

root@librenms:/opt/librenms# ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Feb  9  2018 librenms.myurl.se.conf -> ../sites-available/librenms.myurl.se.conf

The workaround here is to just access the API via the hosts IPnumber instead of hostname.

Then everything works as intended.
