Re: Is this a mod_rewrite issue?

I had similar issue.

You can try enter this into app/.htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteEngine on

   RewriteBase /

   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]

   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

And check if there is on your Auth component allowed to display home page.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Hi

I can't get a brand new CakePHP installation working on a customer's server. The details of what is going on are below, including everything I've tried, but my conclusion is that it is probably something as simple as AllowOverride isn't set to 'all'. The guys who run the server only take instructions from the customer via a ticket system (fair enough) so it is a slow operation to get changes made or details of configs out of them etc. I'd like to have some facts to approach them with rather than go fishing. Is there something I can do to test this?

The details….

We are creating a mini site within a subfolder on a customer's Apache/2.2.16 server. Their main website runs on...

domain.com/

We have been given access to a subfolder...

domain.com/oursite/

I dropped a basic phpinfo() index.php into the subfolder, surfed in and it displays fine. PHP 5.3.3 is installed and processes the page.

phpinfo() suggests that the actual path to our folder is…

/var/www/oursite

I then dropped a cake php installation into the subfolder all contained in a directory called 'caketest'. This is basically an unstuffed download of CakePHP 2.2.2 but when I go in my browser to...

domain.com/oursite/caketest/

I get the main website's 'page not found'

If I go to...

domain.com/oursite/caketest/app/webroot/

I see a Cake error page (with no CSS)…

        Missing Method in AppController
        Error: The action webroot is not defined in controller AppController

Following the advanced installation suggestions on http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/installation/advanced-installation.html

I've tried uncommenting the line…

        define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT . DS . 'lib');

..in app/webroot/index.php

I've tried defining the paths manually in app/webroot/index.php…

        define('ROOT', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . 'oursite');
        define('APP_DIR', 'caketest');
        define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . 'oursite' . DS . 'caketest' . DS . 'lib');

I've tried adding…

RewriteBase /var/www/oursite/caketest

...to each of the three .htaccess files with no change in the results.

Nothing makes any difference to my results so any suggestions gratefully received

Cheers

Paul
