.htaccess / mod_rewrite.c : CakePHP application in

Question

I'd like to deploy my CakePHP-app from localhost to the webserver, but I get Error 500.

My Folder structure looks like this (note: the Cake-app is not in the root...). The .htaccess-files (0) - (3) are according to this post [SO]:, and as this is a CakePHP&Wordpress server, I tried this advice here, too [SO]. The app is obviously located in the CAKEAPP-Folder, where a subdomain cakeapp.mydomain.com points at.

Answer 1

I have two project one main project which is running fine but now i want to run another cakephp project on the same domain.

So you are in the write place this tutorial will help you to run a cakephp on a sub domain

1. First you have change the .htaccess on /httpdocs/

   
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule    ^$ cake_sub_project/app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) cake_sub_project/app/webroot/$1 [L]
   
   

   This two new line needs to add on your main .htaccess file. Here "cake_sub_project" is the sub project

   RewriteRule    ^$ cake_sub_project/app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) cake_sub_project/app/webroot/$1 [L]
   

Now goto your sub folder and make sure you have changed the .htacces on the following directory.

    cake_sub_project/
    cake_sub_project/app
    cake_sub_project/webroot
    

2. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project as following

    
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/
    RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
    
    

3. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project/app as following

      
   
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/app/
   RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
   
   

4. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project/app/webroot as following

      
   
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/app/webroot/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
   
   

Answer 2

The following works for mydomain.com/cakeapp:

(0) .htaccess in ROOT FOLDER

#Action php /cgi-php52/php
#AddHandler php52 .php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^cakeapp/(.*)$ /cakeapp/$1 [L,QSA]
 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

(1) .htaccess in the CAKEAPP-Folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /cakeapp
 RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

(2) .htaccess in the ROOT/CAKEAPP/APP-Folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /cakeapp
 RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

(3) .htaccess in the ROOT/CAKEAPP/APP/WEBROOT-Folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /cakeapp
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
