Which part did you not understand? Basically, i installed cakephp on a folder. Which is /cakewww/. Configured Apache <Directory /www/cakewww/> and set AllowOverride to All.
If you type it on a url: www.example.com/cakewww/. The page is saying 404. I edited /www/cakewww/.htaccess and add this RewriteBase /cakewww/ before RewriteEngine on. And the frontpage shows (working css). Now to check if controllers works, i visited www.example.com/cakewww/profile and it gives me Apache 400 error. This is just basic configuration and installation. Any ideas how to make cakephp work on a subfolder/apache alias?
