Hi @Bart-Jan

The reason you’re seeing a 404 for https://www.vps13.org/rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/email is not because there’s supposed to be a physical email file or folder on your server. Instead, the system uses an .htaccess file, which works with Apache’s mod_rewrite module to route any request (like /email, /form, etc.) to a single index.php file behind the scenes.

Think of it like this: you’re making a request to /api/email, and .htaccess says “no matter what the path is, send it to index.php, and let PHP figure out what to do.”

So, if you’re getting a 404, it usually means that the .htaccess file isn’t being read or isn’t working properly (often due to missing server configuration, like AllowOverride All or mod_rewrite not being enabled).

To fix this:

  • Make sure the .htaccess file inside the https://www.vps13.org/rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/ folder is published to the server.
  • Confirm with your hosting provider that .htaccess overrides are allowed, and that mod_rewrite is enabled.

Let me know how you get on, or if you need further explanation as to what’s happening here! :slight_smile:
