I have CakePHP files in my web root (suppose http://www.example.com/).
Now, I wish to host a phpBB3 installation in a folder called "forum" under my web root. So when somebody accesses (http://www.example.com/forum), they can use phpBB.
How do I achieve this? I've tried looking into CakePHP documentation for routes configuration, but couldn't find anything related to this.
I'm pretty sure this has something to do with .htaccess but not sure exactly what.
Note - I tried creating a folder called forum under app/webroot but this often redirects to http://www.example.com/app/webroot/forum.
In Cake's root .htaccess file you can put:
RewriteRule ^forum/ - [L]
If you insert this just before RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] then it will allow requests to http://www.example.com/forum to go straight to phpBB, bypassing Cake.

I have this site lets say (mydomain.com) that has been running for quite a while, we decided that we would like to build a blog too, naturally we wanted to use wordpress(great for blogs). We wanted to use a subdomain blog.mydomain.com
mydomain.com uses cloudflare and the site itself is build with Laravel, our project is placed in public_html/coolproject because of laravel we had to make these changes to our htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ coolproject/public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
After deciding to create a blog we naturally created A record in cloudflare pointing to our ip just like the main domain. (blog.mydomain.com)
The issue is following: every time we try to access blog.mydomain.com it shows mydomain.com content.
I think that the issue lies in
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ coolproject/public/$1 [L]
because every request is pointed to coolproject/public folder.
I am not very good with htaccess and don't know all of it's possibilities, I am wondering if it's possible to edit this rule so subdomains wouldn't be affected in this scenario and how.
goal is for blog.mydomain.com to show public_html/mycoolblog contents.
I have a problem:
I have to modify an application written in Zend 1 that was deployed to the domain root. now to test it the customer gave me a root subfolder called [domain]/social
When I run it, I have a lot of problem because all paths are like "/resource", but in this case the fiddler show me that the request look for [domain]/resource ad not for [domain]/social/resource.
It happens with script sources, ajax urls, hrefs...all!
Is there a way to fix the problem?
I am not quite familiar with Zend, but is there a main config file that sets the application root folder? (Like joomla) You can modify that if it exists.
Other option would be to preg_match or str_replace all instances of the domain name in the code ( like when moving a Worpress site) but you should definately do that with a sample content not couple hundred pages).
And here is a htaccess snippet as well:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/social/$1 [R=301,L]
Be sure to put the htaccess under the development folder not under the root, oterwise you're facing issues.
I suggest cheking for a config file first. Hope one of this helps!
I'm trying to setup a CakePHP app in a sub-folder but run it from the root domain, eg, user requests domain.co.uk and they get the webroot at {DOCUMENT_ROOT}/version-13/app/webroot.
The hosting setup doesn't allow me to change the document root so I have the following .htaccess in the root:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ version-13/app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) version-13/app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
This appears to do the job. However, Cake detects the sub-folder and adds it to all the URLs it creates (eg, $this->Form->create() actions, etc) so I end up with forms posted to domain.co.uk/version-13/signup instead of domain.co.uk/signup.
I know this is probably going to be something simple but I'm hitting a brick wall. No matter what I try I can't get it to work!
It's hard to understand your setup, you should explain it more. But if I got it right, check /app/Config/core.php:
Configure::write('App.fullBaseUrl', 'http://example.com');
Change your RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /version-13/ (in your .htaccess)and you should be set right up.
I had the exact same issue when I didn't have my local server set up correctly, which forced me to put my applications in a folder of my main domain.
Please note that you can have multiple apps at one core. This could be useful for you "versioning".
Ps. after a quick Google search I found the following. Didn't read it that well, but it looks like it does the same. http://cookingwithcakephp.blogspot.nl/2008/04/installing-cakephp-into-subdirectory.html
I am stuck into a weird problem.
I have a file at the location /public_html/academics/courses.php
I want .htaccess to mod_rewrite the URLs as below:
Original URL: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
After mod_rewrite: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/index.php?inc=/academics/courses/
What I want, basically, is to mod_rewrite all URLs to index.php and pass the URL as a parameter named "inc". Then, in the index.php I include the file by doing include($_GET['inc']);
mod_rewrite is working for some pages on the website. and I am getting the URL in $inc. But, it is not working at all for other pages.
For example, consider the two files that exist on the server:
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses.php
http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library.php
mod_rewrite is working for the first, the file gets included in index.php
But for the second I get the plain existing file. not the one included in index.php
I hope you understand the problem that I am facing. Please provide me with the solution.
.htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?inc=$1&%1 [L]
Page working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/
Page not working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library/
*EDIT*
There is no other .htaccess anywhere. Although, I have found a clue about what is happening. The problem is happening only in Linux server. The code is working correctly in Windows server.I have a Linux server with PHP 5.2.16.
Also, regarding some pages working and some not. I have found that only those pages are working which have a folder with identical name in the same directory. For example, The academics directory is as below:
academics/
|_ courses/
| |_ mba.php
| |_ mca.php
|_ courses.php
|_ library.php
Now, Since courses.php has a folder with identical name in same directory. It gets mod_rewrite fine. But library.php is not getting mod_rewrite.
Linux server is skipping the mod_rewrite for the files that actually exist. Why so ??
My only guess is that there is another .htaccess somewhere in your structure (most obviously inside /academics/ ) that is overriding the rule for "library".
Could there be another mod_rewriting rule inside that folder that is kicking in for the word LIBRARY and probably messing up your rewriting.
Note that it might also be a native apache issue. For example, in ubuntu, by default in version 10.10 (i think thats it) if you had a /javascript/ folder, it would be short circuited to /usr/lib/javascript or something like that...
Check all possible instances of mod rewrite in httpd.conf, all dynamicaly loaded .conf files, your vhost file and finaly the path of your document root...
A site has an existing system (lets call it mysite)
and the client asks to put in magento.
My directory structure goes something like this:
ROOT
-index.php (this is the app's main controller)
-.htaccess
/blog (runs wordpress)
/assets (current system's media folder)
/magento (this is where all magento files go)
Problem is if I set up magento and specify in the installation that base URL is http://example.com, magento loads up mysite.
Leaves me no choice but to setup magento with base URL set to http://example.com/magento/ and it runs perfectly.
However the client wants me to feel hell and asks me to hide magento in the URL.
I’m not really versed in .htaccess and I know only simple rewrite codes so I tried forwarding any HTTP requests that start with /magento to the magento folder and came up with:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/magento(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) /magento/$1 [L]
Just when I thought it was working, mysite links all became unaccessible and forwards to the magento system displaying it's 404 page.
So, uhm, can I ask for help how to construct the .htaccess to hide the /magento/ on the URLs without affecting the current system aka mysite?
Because you have existing applications off the webroot, you cannot get away with using nothing instead:
### webroot/.htaccess
RewriteRule ^whatiwanttouseinsteadofmagento/(.*)$ magento/$1 [L]
From how I see the problem you will not be able to hide magento completely and use your site as well in the same time.
If you want Magento in the root of the public folder you should just point the virtualHost to your magento installation but this will let your blog and your main controller out of the public view. This is more or less the same with what you did by redirecting all calls in the .htaccess to magento folder.
What I suggest is to change the magento name to something more anonymous like "shopping" or "cart", and remember that a folder rename is preferable to a .htaccess file in terms of security and performance.
Let's look at it:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/magento(.*)
So we're saying the condition is anything that is not /magento(.*), so everything but that directory? This would redirect everything, including your blog, assets, and any other directories.
Without specifying each and every file that needs to be redirected to the magento directory, there really is no easy way of doing it. I suppose you could redirect any file that does not contain a "/" in it and ends with the extension .php to the magento directory. That way only files in the root web directory will redirect to magento, but if you used other directories inside the magento directory you'd still need to add separate rules for them.
this answer comes very late but I guess you wanted something like
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(blog|assets|magento)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /magento$1 [L]
