DISQUS

Hi. Is the solution for problem 2 complete? I can't seem to find the edited versions of the 3 .htaccess files? Can I have the link if it's posted someplace else? Thanks! =)

Yes, the solution to problem 2 is complete. You shouldn't have to edit the .htaccess files. The only one you might have to edit is the first one:

First: in the core cakephp directory
/cake

contents of .htaccess (unedited)

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

This tells cakePHP where you webroot is. If you have a basic install, then this shouldn't need to change. If you have a different directory for your apps, then you'll need to change the directories accordingly.

HTH.

Thanks for this post. Part 2 should be included into cake manual! :-)

Nice article. Very helpful. Can you attach your htaccess per your article? Since you moved your webroot dir you can't be using:

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

I am a newbie to working with rewrite rules and I can't figure out how to path it properly.

hey thanks alot for the help to start, i have made some modifications that might help alot of people ..

these small modifications will save you lots of works!!

what they do are the following :
generate on-the-fly the ROOT-location and more!!!

i have tested it and i loved it myself :)

===========================

so what you need to do is, open the original /app/webroot/index.php
go to line 41 and replace the following lines with the original!


chdir("../../");
$root = getcwd();

if (!defined('ROOT')) {
//define('ROOT', 'FULL PATH TO DIRECTORY WHERE APP DIRECTORY IS LOCATED DO NOT ADD A TRAILING DIRECTORY SEPARATOR';
//You should also use the DS define to seperate your directories
define('ROOT', $root.DS.'apps');
}
if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
//define('APP_DIR', 'DIRECTORY NAME OF APPLICATION';
define('APP_DIR', basename(dirname(__FILE__)));
}
/**
* This only needs to be changed if the cake installed libs are located
* outside of the distributed directory structure.
*/
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
//define ('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', FULL PATH TO DIRECTORY WHERE CAKE CORE IS INSTALLED DO NOT ADD A TRAILING DIRECTORY SEPARATOR';
//You should also use the DS define to seperate your directories
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', $root);

Thanks, Joren! It looks great!

addition :
due to posting the ’ needs to be changed to ' (the single apos next to enter)

The locations of the three files are

root/
root/app
root/app/webroot

not cake as you suggested above ;)

Thanks for the articel though it's helped me sort my problem out. I had to add RewriteBase / to each .htaccess and it all works great now :)

I changed my setup to match this configuration and ALMOST everything was working. I couldn't get the bake console script to work. It wouldn't copy files when creating a project or write the models files.

I moved the app files below the webroot and bake starting working again.

Any idea why?

NinjaVsPenguin · 1 year ago

Hi Scott,

I never actually got Bake to work, not even in the "normal" configuration. So, unfortunately, I can't be of any help.

Good luck with your projects!

Thanks for the tips. I ended up just sticking the entire cake directory into ~/public_html, and named it for my application. Then I took Alun's advice and added RewriteBase /~user/application to each of the .htaccess files. Then I just stuck a redirect from ~user to ~user/applicaiton an I was good to go.

Hi rollins,

That's some nice .htaccess ninja you got going. I'm glad you were able to find a solution that works for you :)

Damn, I wish I had found this post two weeks ago. I would have saved so much configuration time. My .htaccess files had all disappeared, so copying and pasting the Apache code from this post still saved the day.

Awesome job.

Hey there,

Just a short note for CakePHP 1.2: If you want to solve the 500 Error with least changes possible just add the appropriate RewriteBase command to the app/webroot/.htaccess file. This is where any request lands somewhere during the "bootstrap process" anyway and it is easy to remove once an application goes live on a single domain.

Cheers
