I had a working cake application that I tar’d up and sent to someone

  • 0

I had a working cake application that I tar’d up and sent to someone to do some development work on, and now they’ve sent it back to me. I’ve put the files under the root folder of my webserver. I can successfully get to the root level index.php page (http://localhost/newcake/index.php) but when I try to access the user information (http://localhost/newcake/users) I get a 404 error. That url worked in my old cake instance. I’m wondering if the developer remapped the url paths somehow in the cake app and if so, where do I go to find that?

Note: I’d ask the developer this question but they’re not available right now and I’d like to get this resolved as soon as possible.

Update: I did a search for .htaccess files under the new application and found the following:

./.htaccess
./app/.htaccess
./app/webroot/.htaccess
./cake/console/templates/skel/.htaccess
./cake/console/templates/skel/webroot/.htaccess

I checked the locations and the contents with the original application and it all appears to match.

    Check the file permissions. Check also that you have the .htaccess files in the right places. Some operating systems – Ubuntu in particular – will copy files in a folder but omit the dot files.

    If they’re missing, transplant them from a clean install.

    Also, see here for the .htaccess files and where to put them: http://book.cakephp.org/view/917/Apache-and-mod_rewrite-and-htaccess
