    copied!<p>I have to run my CakePHP 2.1 application in an environment with CGI-PHP and without the ability to declare apache aliases. I want to redirect requests to a subdomain to CakePHP with mod_rewrite, but this doesn't work out.</p> <p><strong>Current setup</strong></p> <ul> <li>Webroot is <code>~/user/public_html</code></li> <li>CakePHP is in <code>~/user/public_html/cakephp/</code></li> <li>CakePHP should be requested at <code>dev.mydomain.tld</code></li> </ul> <p>What I have until now is this (all paths relative to webroot):</p> <ul> <li><p><code>~/user/public_html/.htaccess</code></p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dev\.mydomain.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cakephp/app/webroot/ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cakephp/app/webroot%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dev\.mydomain.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cakephp/app/webroot/ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cakephp/app/webroot/$1 [L] </code></pre></li> <li><p><code>~/user/public_html/cakephp/app/webroot/.htaccess</code></p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L] </code></pre></li> </ul> <p><strong>The Problem</strong></p> <p>Requests are somehow not routed correctly (the application runs without problems in my development environment with PHP as a module and an Virtual Host at the <code>/cakephp/app/webroot/</code> level). When I request the home page at <code>dev.mydomain.tld</code> I only get an Error, Cake is telling me, that the CakephpController is missing.</p> <p><strong>Debug information</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>the interesting parts of <code>$_SERVER</code> debugged as the first line in <code>/cakephp/app/webroot/index.php</code></p> <pre><code> [REDIRECT_REDIRECT_REDIRECT_STATUS] =&gt; 200 [REDIRECT_REDIRECT_STATUS] =&gt; 200 [REDIRECT_HANDLER] =&gt; php-script [REDIRECT_STATUS] =&gt; On [HTTP_HOST] =&gt; dev.mydomain.tld [HTTP_CONNECTION] =&gt; keep-alive [SERVER_SOFTWARE] =&gt; Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) [SERVER_NAME] =&gt; dev.mydomain.tld [SERVER_ADDR] =&gt; 192.0.43.10 [SERVER_PORT] =&gt; 80 [DOCUMENT_ROOT] =&gt; /home/user/public_html [SCRIPT_FILENAME] =&gt; /home/user/public_html/cakephp/app/webroot/index.php [REDIRECT_URL] =&gt; /cakephp/app/webroot/index.php [GATEWAY_INTERFACE] =&gt; CGI/1.1 [SERVER_PROTOCOL] =&gt; HTTP/1.1 [REQUEST_METHOD] =&gt; GET [QUERY_STRING] =&gt; [REQUEST_URI] =&gt; / [SCRIPT_NAME] =&gt; /cakephp/app/webroot/index.php [_PHP5_WORK_DIR] =&gt; /home/user/public_html/cakephp/app/webroot [PHP_SELF] =&gt; / [ORIG_PATH_INFO] =&gt; [ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED] =&gt; /home/user/public_html/cakephp/app/webroot/index.php [PATH_INFO] =&gt; /cakephp/app/webroot/index.php </code></pre></li> <li><p>the interesting parts of the <code>CakeRequest</code> object passed to the dispatcher:</p> <pre><code> url =&gt; 'cakephp/app/webroot/index.php' base =&gt; '/cakephp' webroot =&gt; '/app/webroot/' here =&gt; '/cakephp/cakephp/app/webroot/index.php' </code></pre></li> </ul> <p><strong>The question</strong></p> <p>So, what I don't get here, is why the CakeRequest object has references to my folder structure while <code>$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/'</code>. What would I have to do, to get this right? And in the first place, where should I look for the problem: in the mod_rewrite directives or in CakePHP itself? I tried some things, including setting the RewriteBase in alle the .htaccess files and different settings for <code>App.baseUrl</code> in the Configuration object, but nothing seemed to help here.</p> <p>I would be really thankful if somebody could give me a pointer on how to solve this problem.</p>
