.htaccess / mod_rewrite.c : CakePHP application in a subfolder where the root folder hosts a WordPress installation

1 Views

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.

  1. 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>

  2. 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]

    1. 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]

    2. 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]
