TypeError: require.config is not a function[Learn More]

how to solve this????

• Abhishek Tripathi: redeploy your site with the particular language code & theme-name it will load the files & also make sure the directory permission for the pub/static directory & its child directories
• fmsthird: run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
• prabhakaran7: it's not working

Answer 1

Load the URL in browser without any version

http://localhost/equpo/pub/static/frontend/Solwin/kosmic_child/en_US/js/custom/jquery.flexslider.js

If it is works.

For the quick fix

You can disable the static version from admin or directly changed in Mysql database core_config_data table.

From admin:

Admin -> Stores -> Configuration -> Advanced -> Developer -> Static File Settings

From Mysql:

insert into core_config_data (config_id, scope, scope_id, path, value) values (null, 'default', 0, 'dev/static/sign', 0);

Note: Enable static version is always recommended so don't disable the static content versioning in production.

Permanent fix

You need to find the reason why the versioning URL is not accepted, check the below points and make sure evrything configured correctly

1. Check the file pub/static/.htaccess presents or not, if not, you need recreate it from another installation.
2. Make sure apache "rewrite_module" is enabled
3. Check apache2 config file and it should have AllowOverride All properties.

• prabhakaran7: which file - Make sure apache "rewrite_module" is enabled i can change
• Bilal Usean: just run the command it will enable rewrite module. sudo a2enmod rewrite
• prabhakaran7: where the file for 3rd point
• prabhakaran7: it's presented with htaccess file

Answer 2

try to use this terminal command

php bin/magento config:set dev/static/sign 0
