I have to disagree with Brennen about one thing. For security reasons, it is recommended to have most of CakePHPs file (the core) *above* the webroot.
Your servers (site's) document root should point to cake/app/webroot. That is where you should drop Joomla. visiting localhost/ would then show cake localhost/about_us would show your static page visiting localhost/joomla would then show Joomla. Just mixing joomla files into the webroot directory (as your second example above) would be troublesome because both the cake index and the joomla index will be competing. In your case it looks like you completing wrote over the cake index, which would explain the trouble. On Mar 13, 4:28 pm, Robin <madsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Anybody can help please?
