Hello all After messing up with the installation of CakePHP 2.0x in a Shared Hosting environement, searching for solutions and playing around with different suggestions, that did not appear as a solution, I tried to catch the real problem.
Ok. That's now my way to ask for a solution 1. I installed both branches : 1.3.13 and 2.01 onto the the Host 2. I put a copy of default home.ctp into my app/view/pages and changed the original a little bit to print out the settings instead of the links given in the original. 3. I changed the three .htaccess adding RewriteBase as suggested by Cake so the only difference between them is the last RewriteRule showing index.php?url=$1 in version 1.3.13 index.php?/$1 in version 2.0.1 4. I set my domainroot in both cases to : mydomain/app/ webroot 5. Starting with 1.3.13 everything works fine calling either www.mydomain or www.mydomain/pages/home Setting WWW_ROOT : path-to-cake13/app/webroot/ Setting ROOT : path-to-cake13 Setting APP_DIR : app Setting WEBROOT_DIR : webroot Setting CORE_PATH : Setting CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH : path-to-cake13 Setting include_path : path-to-cake13:path-to-cake13/app/:.:/usr/ local/lib/php 6. Starting with 2.0.1 it's getting weird www.mydomain is ok showing these settings Setting WWW_ROOT : path-to-cake20/app/webroot/ Setting ROOT : path-to-cake20 Setting APP_DIR : app Setting WEBROOT_DIR : webroot Setting CORE_PATH : path-to-cake20/lib/ Setting CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH : path-to-cake20/lib Setting include_path : path-to-cake20/lib:.:/usr/local/lib/ php www.mydomain/pages/home comes up with Missing Controller Message looking at the source of the generated html, I found this for example <link href="/pages/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="icon" /> <link href="/pages/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/pages/css/ cake.generic.css" /></head> In my opinion the change from Url to Path had some implications that are not yet reflected through all of your code. But you are the one, that can find the real answer. Cake is great. You may help a lot of people, I think, if you can solve this problem. Hope my notes above are helpfull for you.
