Re: cakephp app as part of static site

Thanks a lot. Seems like it might work :)

There seems to be a missing mysql db driver, which my search online says is because of missing PDO driver for mysql.

I'll update once the (slow) web-hosting team updates the driver settings

Thx a lot :)

Hi

There's nothing particularly clever needs doing for this. I did exactly the same thing recently where we built a mini site to sit in a sub folder of the customer's existing site.

The only 'issue' I had was I had to edit the standard .htaccess files slightly to set the RewriteBase path properly (which I got help from on this list) you might not even need to do this but what I ended up with was..

mysite.com/webapp/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /webapp
 RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
 RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

mysite.com/webapp/app/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /webapp/app/
  RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
  RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
</IfModule>

mysite.com/webapp/app/webroot/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /webapp/app/webroot/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Cheers

Paul
