I'm in the process of trying to figure out some issues with Magento 2.4.2 installation on a Cpanel server. I installed 2.4.1 to see if that would work and it still does. I moved it into a subdirectory to make sure I could do that and I got the usual error that the CSS/JS broke.

I logged into the admin and set the base url from:

http://www.fieldhockey.co/

too:

http://www.fieldhockey.co/store/

And saved the form, I got redirected to the new location but its obviously broken. I go to the root folder and drag all the Magento code and directories into my new sub-directory and the CSS/JS is still broken (not loading).

Now I read in an article that you should delete or rename the /pub/static/ directory so the Cache is regenerated using the new path. I tried this and the directory was created but it did not fix the issue.

I wasn't sure how to solve this?

On comparing the 2 directories (I renamed it) I noticed the /var/static2/ directory contained a .htaccess file which my newly created directory did not. Upon moving the .htaccess to the new static directory my issue was fixed.

Hopefully this will help someone else who has this issue - as the .htaccess file does not seem to be regenerated with the directory automatically?

Copy of the .htaccess (version 2.4.1)

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag engine 0
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php7.c>
php_flag engine 0
</IfModule>

# To avoid situation when web server automatically adds extension to path
Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    ## you can put here your pub/static folder path relative to web root
    #RewriteBase /magento/pub/static/

    # Remove signature of the static files that is used to overcome the browser cache
    RewriteRule ^version.+?/(.+)$ $1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

    RewriteRule .* ../static.php?resource=$0 [L]
    # Detects if moxieplayer request with uri params and redirects to uri without params
    <Files moxieplayer.swf>
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L]
     </Files>
</IfModule>
