Re: Loading cake app as subdirectory of non-cake app

I have done this with Apache aliases and based off of
http://book.cakephp.org/view/35/Advanced-Installation
This solution has the cake code outside of the website.

1) I physically put the Cake into /var/www/cakeapps/mycakeapp
Where /app and /webroot are under this structure
2) In the Apache configuration I create an aliase so
http://www.example.com/some_dir/my_cake_app
maps to
/var/www/cakeapps/mycakeapp/webroot

for example
Alias /some_dir/my_cake_app "/var/www/cakeapps/mycakeapp/webroot"
<Directory "/var/www/cakeapps/mycakeapp/webroot">
Options All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

3) Modify webroot/.htaccess by adding a RewriteBase

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Add the following line
RewriteBase /some_dir/my_cake_app
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

4) Modify webroot/index.php so the following lines are (mileage may
vary)

define('ROOT', '/var/www/cakeapps/mycakeapp/webroot');

define('APP_DIR', 'app');

define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', '/where/I/store/my/cakes/
cake_1.2.0.7296-rc2'); // Since it is out side

That should do it with a restart of Apache.
