I have been searching for a solution for 2 hours but nothing seems to work... here is my problem:
I have WordPress installed in the root (var/www). So by going to http://www.geekderek.com, I see my wordpress site.
I put CakePHP in a subdirectory var/www/cakephp. I want to be able to see my CakePHP app by going to: www.geekderek.com/cakephp.
However, currently this url just returns a Wordpress page saying "Content not found."
I believe this problem can be solved by modifying .htaccess in my root directory. So here is my .htaccess: http://pastebin.com/sXJTRstB
As you can see, I added this line to the default WP .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^cakephp(/(.*))?$ cakephp/app/webroot/$1 [QSA,L]
However, for some reason this doesn't seem to work.
Could anyone please tell me what is wrong?? Thank you so much!
I have simmilar setup, that my cake app is in subdirectory, my root .htaccess has this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^cakephp/(.*)$ /cakephp/$1 [L,QSA]
All the rest is handled with the regular cakephp setup.
my /cakephp/app/webroot/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
hope this works for you too :)
thanat's answer almost worked for me. i just had to edit the RewriteBase to read
RewriteBase /cakephp
and make sure apache conf allowed my root directory to override its previous options
<Directory "/my/root/dir">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
but then again, my app dir lies outside the DocumentRoot set by apache. and the cakephp dir is actually the webroot itself. so my dir structure is as follows
/my/root
/my/root/app #cake's app dir without webroot
/my/root/dir #apache DocumentRoot (your wordpress is here)
/my/root/dir/cakephp #cake's webroot
also make sure to edit /my/root/dir/cakephp/index.php so it knows where the app and cake's library dirs are.
