The current configuration and driver for TYPO3 does not work with version 11 of the CMS

[Konafets]

Description

With version 11 TYPO3 changed the URL rewriting which breaks Valet. Valet routes always to the frontend even if you open the backend at https://example.com/typo3. The error is: "The page did not exist or was inaccessible. Reason: No site configuration found."

I got it running by adjusting the Nginx configuration and the TYPO3ValetDriver. I added a LocalValetDriver and made the changes there. Here are the two files:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Valet\Drivers\LaravelValetDriver;

class LocalValetDriver extends Typo3ValetDriver
{
    protected $documentRoot = '/public';

    /**
     * Determine if the driver serves the request.
     */
    public function serves($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the fully resolved path to the application's front controller.
     */
    public function frontControllerPath($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        // without modifying the URI, redirect if necessary
        $this->handleRedirectBackendShorthandUris($uri);

        // from now on, remove trailing / for convenience for all the following join operations
        $uri = rtrim($uri, '/');

        if (file_exists($absoluteFilePath = $sitePath.$this->documentRoot.$uri)) {
            if (is_dir($absoluteFilePath)) {
                if (file_exists($absoluteFilePath.'/index.php')) {
                    // this folder can be served by index.php
                    return $this->serveScript($sitePath, $siteName, $uri.'/index.php');
                }

                if (file_exists($absoluteFilePath.'/index.html')) {
                    // this folder can be served by index.html
                    return $absoluteFilePath.'/index.html';
                }
            } elseif (pathinfo($absoluteFilePath, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) === 'php') {
                // this file can be served directly
                return $this->serveScript($sitePath, $siteName, $uri);
            }
        } elseif(str_contains($uri, '/typo3/')) {
            return $this->serveScript($sitePath, $siteName, '/typo3/index.php'); // basically added this line to route requests to the backend to the right file.
        }

        return $this->serveScript($sitePath, $siteName, '/index.php');
    }

    private function handleRedirectBackendShorthandUris($uri)
    {
        if (rtrim($uri, '/') === '/typo3/install') {
            header('Location: /typo3/sysext/install/Start/Install.php');
            exit();
        }
    }

    private function serveScript($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        $docroot = $sitePath.$this->documentRoot;
        $abspath = $docroot.$uri;

        $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = $siteName.'.dev';
        $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = $docroot;
        $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_URI'] = $uri;
        $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = $abspath;
        $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = $uri;
        $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = $uri;

        return $abspath;
    }
}

and change the corresponding Nginx file for the domain to:

Steps To Reproduce

Install a new TYPO3

composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution:"^11" example

Link Valet

cd example && valet link example && valet secure

Add a FIRST_INSTALL file

touch example/public/FIRST_INSTALL

Go through the installation process and open the backend (https://example.com/typo3) or the frontend (https://example.com).

Hi there, I'm sorry but I'm going to close this as we only have received one report for this so far. We'd welcome a PR to solve this one, thanks.

Hi @driesvints,

when I have some time, I will try to add an PR.
