    <p>I've never had a problem with cakePHP before, but something's odd about this server and is causing the redirects in the .htaccess files to behave oddly.</p> <p>CakePHP uses mod_rewrite in .htaccess files to redirect requests to its own webroot folder. The problem is that the redirects are listing the wrong path and causing a 404 error. My CakePHP application, which is stored in the listings directory, has a .htaccess file as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [R=301,L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [R=301,L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>(*note that the R=301 causes an external redirect so we can see what is going on from our end. It should really omit this flag and do the redirect internally, transparent to end-users)</p> <p>This is supposed to redirect any request from <code>http://hostname.com/~username/listings/</code> to <code>http://hostname.com/~username/listings/app/webroot/</code> However, rather than simply adding “<code>app/webroot/</code>” to the end as it is supposed to, it is adding the full server path ( <code>/home/username/public_html/listings/app/webroot/</code> ) resulting in the final URL <code>http://hostname.com/home/username/public_html/listings/app/webroot/</code> which is obviously incorrect and triggers a 404 error.</p> <p>The hosting is on a shared hosting account, so that limits what I can do with the settings. I've never seen this happen before, and I'm thinking it's something wrong from the hosting side of things, but if anyone has some helpful suggestions then I can put them to the hosting company as well.</p>

    1. COI would imagine this would be to do with caged home directories, which is a setting in the core httpd.conf as I'm pretty sure that the ~username format is a symlink

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
