Restful URLs on OJS3

Software Support

To enable RESTful URLs on OJS3, and change localhost/index.php/journal to localhost/journal I did:

Change restful_urls to “On” in the config.inc.php file.

; Generate RESTful URLs using mod_rewrite.  This requires the
; rewrite directive to be enabled in your .htaccess or httpd.conf.
; See FAQ for more details.
;restful_urls = Off
restful_urls = On

Add the rewrite rules on ssl.conf or httpd.conf inside de virtualhost configuration:

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/api
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cache
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/classes
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/controllers
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dbscripts
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/docs
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/js
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/lib
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/locale
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/node_modules
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/pages
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/registry
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/styles
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/templates
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/tests
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/tools
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/index.php/.*$
   RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

I decided to post this configuration because I did not find these rules in other topics.
Without the RewriteCond some functionality as the journals logos in the “public” folder did not work.
Does anyone see any problems in them?

The suggested method in the FAQ is:

I personally use a set of directives which is cross-compatible with Apache earlier than 2.4 and after 2.4:

(note that the example here is journal-specific)

I saw this suggestion, but it didn’t work. Public images weren’t shown. The upload pages didn’t work, too.
So, I include the RewriteCond above to create exceptions for all folders.
