Re: Pretty URLs don't work without .htaccess ?

Right, I was referring to mod_rewrite and not .htaccess in
particular.

I see the links generated by HtmlHelper are wrong too. They point to
"/app/webroot/filename" when Apache's root is already set to "/app/
webroot/", so they ought to therefore point to "/filename". At this
point I am only guessing the bug is related to not using
mod_rewrite?! I see nothing in the docs about reconfiguring
HtmlHelper's base directory, and I followed the instructions in the
core app config file to no avail.

I'm going to re-enable mod_rewrite and just pray all these problems
disappear.
