Error: The requested address was not found on this server.

Dear all,

I inherited a CakePHP application some weeks ago that I'm supposed to deploy into a web server. I went through the tutorial and got my hands to work. The problem is that I can't pass beyond the home page of the legacy application, all links return the error in subject. I also tried to access some pages directly using /view/action adresses but I always get this error.

I tried an experiment that had an interesting result. I created another application with a simple MVC structure connected to the DB. Into this new application I copied one of the view folders of the legacy application, corresponding to the model User. When I try to access this view in my app:

http://localhost/myApp/Users

I get a Controller not found exception, which is ok since I only copied the views folder. But when I try the same address to the legacy app:

http://localhost/legacyApp/Users

I get the "address was not found on this server" error.

Reading through previous messages to this list I already tried the following:
. deleted the contents of app/tmp/cache/models
. deleted the contents of app/tmp/cache/persistent
. verified that the .htaccess files are present
. verified that www-data has permission over the .htaccess files

But the error remains. What else could be causing this problem?

Thank you for reading.
