Re: Using Cake amongst existing non-cake site

Huh? I may be missing something but why couldn't you just put your
cake install in a subfolder on the site and then do some htaccess
RewriteRule magic? Something like:

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

That's what we are doing over here. In Georgia. It's all the rage!
