cakephp doesn't work url-rewriting on Ubuntu
apache, cakephp, cakephp-2.1, mod-rewrite
Solution
I had this problem as well. Turns out the .htaccess file was not getting copied alongside the cakePHP source. This is a common issue when using the cp command or not having hidden files visible in a file browser, unless you copy the top-level directory.
Doing a direct copy of the file to my project folder fixed it for me without having to mess with my apache settings.
cp ~/git/cakePHP/.htaccess ~/project/folder/
Problem
all. This time I try cakephp, but I have got "URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server. 1) Help me configure it 2) I don't / can't use URL rewriting". I could know this is apache and .htaccess issues such as /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable/default and each directory .htaccess. My development environment... - Ubuntu12.04 on vmware fusion4 - apache2.2.22 - mysql5.5 - php5.3.10 - cakephp2.1 My process is followed... 1)/etc/apache2/httpd.conf ``` <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> ``` 2)enabling mod_rewrite ``` sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo service apache2 reload ``` 3)editing /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable/default (AllOverride None to AllOverride All) ``` <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /var/www> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> prompt: sudo service apache2 reload ``` 4)editing or checking each .htaccess file ->cake root directory ``` <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule> ``` ->app root directory ``` <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule> ``` ->webroot directory ``` <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule> ``` This issue is solved, thank you.
