I'm using Boost on:

Drupal 7.54
Shared hosting
Apache 2.2.31

I installed the Boost module and confirmed that clean urls are on and Drupal's caching is off. I then added the required text to the .htaccess file.

The caching is working but I'm no longer able to access any of the admin pages (e.g. Status Report, Modules,... ) all the pages that include in the URL admin/ or admin_menu/. The error message I get is:

******************************************************
******************************************************
The requested URL /admin/reports/status was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
******************************************************
******************************************************

I've used Boost before and I've not run into this problem. If I remove the .htaccess lines required by Boost, the admin pages work again but I'd like to be able to up the sites performance using Boost.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Rob

Today I run into a similar issue (although I have good experiences with Boost on other sites) and I had to uncomment the following lines in the .htaccess to make the admin functionality work

  # Caching for anonymous users
  # Skip boost IF not get request OR uri has wrong dir OR cookie is set OR request came from this server OR https request
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ [OR]
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^/(admin|cache|misc|modules|sites|system|openid|themes|node/add|comment/reply))|(/(edit|user|user/(login|password|register))$) [OR]
  #RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [OR]
  #RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} DRUPAL_UID [OR]
  #RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
  #RewriteRule .* - [S=2]

And I updated my .htaccess to work for anonyms like this:

  # NORMAL
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD)$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !DRUPAL_UID
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html -s
  RewriteRule .* cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html [L,T=text/html]

I spent many hours with debugging, I know this is not an optimal solutions (I wasn't able to figure out what's wrong here), but this was my workaround.
