Re: CakePHP configuration or .htaccess?
A solution was found! (Thanks Martin) By moving the cake core (cake/) and the application files (appname/) to my home directory ~user/ and only have the files from appname/ webroot in ~user/public_html/ I got what I wanted. But to make it work with the new file locations, I had to update index.php (now located in ~user/public_html/) since that file defines ROOT, APP_DIR and CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH. Finally I had to revert back to the original .htaccess files. A positive side effect - besides solving my link issue - the site security has been improved since the cake core and the application files now are located in a place where they are not exposed as they would be in the directory ~user/public_html Again, thanks Martin.

Re: CakePHP configuration or .htaccess?
Did I get this right? You are serving the website as www.mydomain.com not sharedhost.com/ ~user/appname/ ? If so, then you should do things slightly differently as the RewriteBase will be / (root of mydomain.com). I haven't installed in this way... ever (I think), so I don't want to give any further advice on what tweaks to do but the difference between hosting under the usename alias or the "real" domain is significant.

Re: CakePHP configuration or .htaccess?
By adding RewriteBase /~user/ I do get into some circular reference and the server responds with a server configuration error. Cannot set DebugLog-level on server since the application resides on a shared hosted environment. - Jim On 27 Apr, 02:54, Marcelo Andrade wrote: > On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Jimson wrote: > > > (..) > > On the server, I have the directory > > ~user/public_html/ > > To use CakePHP with the mod_rewrite, you need to > edit your (3) .htaccess files, including something as > > RewriteBase /~user/ > > just after the line with "RewriteEngine on" > > Best regards. > > -- > MARCELO DE F.

CakePHP configuration or .htaccess?
I have developed a Cake-application for the first time and now I am
about to put it up in a shared environment running FreeBSB with
apache2 as web server.
On the server, I have the directory
~user/public_html/
I have uploaded the cake application to the public_html-directory so
now do my file structure look like:
~user/public_html/cake /* The cake core */
~user/public_html/appname
|-config
|-controllers
|-...
\-webroot
After some work with .htaccess, I have been able to access my
application directly via
http://www.mydomain.com/
(~user/public_html is pointing to appname/webroot via a RewriteRule
in .htaccess)
So far so good!
Now to my problem. In any link generated by cake the URL includes the
"appname", e.g. I have a link to "about" which says
http://www.mydomain.com/appname/about
and the same information is accessable via
http://www.mydomain.com/about
>From an estetical point of view, the latter is preferred. I would like
to remove the appname from all links generated in my application since
there is no benefit having that information in there.
I have tried some RewriteRules and I have also tried to solve it in
the application configuration by setting App.baseUrl to '/'. The
latter is removing the appname from the links and everything seems to
work, but then login is not working any longer. (I am using the Auth-
component for authentication, no rocket-science there...).
The .htaccess file in ~user/public_html looks like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule^$ appname/webroot/[L]
RewriteRule(.*) appname/webroot/$1 [L]
The .htaccess file in ~user/public_html/appname looks like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule^$webroot/[L]
RewriteRule(.*) webroot/$1[L]
and the .htaccess file in ~user/public_html/appname looks like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /appname/webroot
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
My question now, is my problem a cake-configuration problem or could I
solve my problem via .htaccess-instructions? Any suggestion in the
right direction is very much appreciated.
TIA,
Jim
