   1. Apache users
      in /api folder rename file template.htaccess to .htaccess 

   2. Nginx (including HostBill enterprise) users .
      If you are using SEO URL rewrites described here, modify block "@seohburl" in /etc/nginx/locations/hostbill.conf to look like:

      Code Block
      location @seohburl { rewrite ^/api/(.+)$ /api/index.php?/$1 last; rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?/$1 last; }

      
      
      If you are not using SEO urls, edit your location file (in server section, for HostBill enterprise it is /etc/nginx/locations/hostbill.conf, add 

      Code Block
      location @userapi { rewrite ^/api/(.+)$ /api/index.php?/$1 last; }

      Next, to main location add try files line:

      Code Block
      try_files $uri $uri/ @userapi;
