Re: Mod_rewrite and Mac OSX

[Me]

I struggled with the "unformatted black text on a white background" all night last night. I had the same .htaccess problem. Once I put the correct file into the root web folder... wahlah... I open my email today to find that you had the same problem, finding the same answer. We were struggling at the same time... I should have waited until today where I could have just read your answer... lol. Thanks! wbj wrote: I'm very new to CakePHP, but to Mac OS X, PHP or Apache Mod_Rewrite. I had problems getting the initial CakePHP installation to show the styled landing page; instead, I saw unstyled black-on-white text. To install CakePHP, I downloaded the appropriate .dmg file, then Finder-dragged the image file's contents into a directory in my web root. What I finally remembered is that hidden files, such as ".htaccess", are invisible to the Finder. Once I remembered that, I opened the ".htaccess" file with TextEdit and saved it to the directory under webroot. This fixed my problem! Hopefully this will help you too!
