Re: Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
Get the hell off GoDaddy - some of the worst, more incompetent hosting you can buy. I remember when I spent a week debating their staff over what version of PHP was installed on a particular server. phpinfo() reported PHP 4, but they continually insisted it was PHP 5. It took a week before they finally moved us to a box with PHP 5 installed. Then once we finally got things running, the site would be down almost every single day for a minute or two. ...and slow... so, so slow. I think they must run these servers under their desks on old Pentium 3 boxes or something. Save yourself the headaches and just move over to a competent host.

Re: Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
I'm running godaddy hosting for all my domains, several cakephp apps. What issues are you having? If it is redirect issues than I know the fix. in the files .htaccess in cake/, cake/app/, and cake/app/webroot/ i think. You need to edit them to add the magic words, RewriteBase / Add this before any rewrite rules, e.g. RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule^$ app/webroot/[L] RewriteRule(.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] And this will prevent the need to add / in all the rules. :) After you upload all three with the changes give it about 20 minutes to be 'picked up.' I am pretty sure that was the only major change I had to make. Good luck! BTW I highly do not recommend their hosting plans, cheap domains though.

Re: Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
If GoDaddy is anything like anything like 1and1 mod_rewrite may work with a minor change see http://www.klevo.sk/cakephp/cakephp-and-some-web-hosts/ I have found that 1and1 uk requires adding a few / (in the following example my app is installed in a directory named v6) AddType x-mapp-php5 .php RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /v6$ /v6/ [L] RewriteRule^$/v6/webroot/[L] RewriteRule(.*) /v6/webroot/$1[L] this works on business pro accounts (not below) that might help - S 2008/10/13 mehodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I tried setting one up on go daddy once, but ran into a lot of > issues.

Re: Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
I tried setting one up on go daddy once, but ran into a lot of issues. The main one being it is not possible to use MOD_REWRITE, so you have to use the cakephp url rewriting alternative. I was able to get things working once I did that, but not having the clean urls possible with MOD_REWRITE is a big disadvantage with go daddy.

Re: Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
I can't offer any GoDaddy specific advice, but I am running Cake apps in a shared hosting environment. If GoDaddy runs Apache, you need to change the DocumentRoot for your virtual host. In the httpd.conf (or more likely an httpd.include or vhost.conf file for your virtual host) add something like this: DocumentRoot /path/to/cake_app/app/webroot In my setup, I also needed to set some Directory configuration: php_admin_flag engine on php_admin_flag safe_mode off php_admin_value open_basedir "/path/to/cake_app:/tmp" php_admin_flag engine on php_admin_flag safe_mode off php_admin_value open_basedir "/path/to/cake_app:/tmp" Options -Includes -ExecCGI AceStudio-2 wrote: > > > A client of mine purchased a web hosting package on GoDaddy but after > i uploaded the application on it... it wasn't working. i have been > racking my head on how to make it work but all to no avail. > > I need to know who has successfully hosted on a GoDaddy server, so the > person could tell me how he tweaked the server. > > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Hosting-A-Cake-App-On-GoDaddy%21-tp19954617p19959977.html Sent from the CakePHP mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Hosting A Cake App On GoDaddy!
A client of mine purchased a web hosting package on GoDaddy but after i uploaded the application on it... it wasn't working. i have been racking my head on how to make it work but all to no avail. I need to know who has successfully hosted on a GoDaddy server, so the person could tell me how he tweaked the server. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
