Question

What I’m trying to do:

I’ve developed a web application with cakephp 2.2.1 on wamp. Now I want to install it on an Apache server (version 2.2.16).

Error:

The requested URL /inetpub/wwwroot/cakephp/app/webroot was not found
on this server.

What I did:

That’s seemed to me to be a .htaccess error.

I checked that

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

was uncommented.

I made sure that

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

was enabled for the wwwroot/cakephp dir. Then I checked that all the .htaccess files were conform to the docs.

Still no luck.

Question:

Does anyone know what’s going on?

Problem solved:

First if your website is

http://www.example.info/tmp/

put respectively in the three .htaccess:

RewriteBase /tmp/ 
RewriteBase /tmp/app/ 
RewriteBase /tmp/app/webroot  

and replace

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

by

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
