Re: Installing Cake on 1 subdomain with .htaccess, not multiple instances of apps
Hoo boy. This is a big one for Mac users to look out for! Macs are Unix and like Unix systems, hidden files are hidden (i.e. .htaccess files) If you download the Cake distro and then upload it to your server in the GUI, you may not copy all of the .htaccess files and that will lead to all the hairpulling nonsense just recently posted here.

Re: Installing Cake on 1 subdomain with .htaccess, not multiple instances of apps
WAITAMINUTE!!! Ok. Now I'm totally baffled--not your fault at all, hydra12. I did everything we discussed and it all worked like a charm, sort of. I could add controller files and models and see them, but still no css. And still no direct URL calls to the controllers. So since you kindly established for me already that putting the cake core files in my main web directory won't bother wordpress, I decided to scrap the whole subdomain junk and just build a development directory like in the manual. I mean, c'mon, all I wanna do is play with cake, not repeatedly try to install it in different ways for a week now. So, I set up the development directory, *exactly* as specified in the manual. i.e. this: /wwwroot /cake /app /cake /vendors .htaccess index.php No more subdomain, so no more problem, right? Guess what? After I add my controller and my model and get a note that the database config is fine, STILL no css, STILL no direct calls to the models. WTF!? Clearly something is missing from the manual.

Re: Installing Cake on 1 subdomain with .htaccess, not multiple instances of apps
Sorry if I wasn't quite clear. Sometimes things are really obvious to
me, and I just assume everyone else will understand :-)

Yes, I mean the place where all of your html files live. For me, it's
c:\web\projects. For you, it looks like it's public_html.

Put the whole app folder in your public_html folder. I use bake.php a
lot of times, and I just tell it to bake my project in the right
place. For me, I use: c:\web\projects>php bake.php -project c:\web
\projects\dev (or whatever the project name is). This is essentially
the same as copying the app folder from cake and pasting it into c:\web
\projects and then changing the name to dev.

dev should also have controllers, config, models, views, etc.

Now it should work. My guess is, you just copied the webroot folder
and not the whole app folder.
I hope that helps!

Re: Installing Cake on 1 subdomain with .htaccess, not multiple instances of apps
Thanks a lot for your help! I've been frustrated with this all week!
Unfortunately, this didn't work. I assume its because I followed one
of these instructions wrong, so to clarify:
> Try this - first, make a cake folder inside your root folder and put cake in
> it (app, cake, etc).
When you say 'root' here you mean the root for all web activities
right? ('public_html' as opposed to /root?)
> Now put your app in it's own folder in the root (dev, in your case).
When you say put my app in it's own folder, does this mean the 'app/'
folder or just the webroot folder? Wouldn't the first option create a
duplicate app folder different from the one in the first step?
> Now your root should have something like the following:wp-admin, wp-content,
> wp-includes, cake, dev.
OK! This is definitely the case.
In fact the whole thing, just to be clear looks like this
public_html/
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
cake
app/
cake/
docs/
vendors/
dev/
webroot/
Does that look right?
> In your dev folder, in webroot, edit your index.php file. Change this line:

Yup. Did this.

At this point I'm just getting this:
Warning: main(cake/basics.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /home/tropedc/public_html/dev/index.php on line 54

Re: Installing Cake on 1 subdomain with .htaccess, not multiple instances of apps
Try this - first, make a cake folder inside your root folder and put
cake in it (app, cake, etc). Now put your app in it's own folder in
the root (dev, in your case). Now your root should have something
like the following:wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, cake, dev.
In your dev folder, in webroot, edit your index.php file. Change this
line:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT.DS);
to look like this:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE PATH', ROOT.DS.'cake');
Now you can browse to http://yourdomain/dev and see your app without
having to alter your .htaccess rules. If you want to add a new app,
make a new folder in your root, put your app in, and edit it's webroot/
index.php file.
I hope that helps!
