Question

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

Answer 1

Possible missconfiguration:

Check if File http://your_domain_name/css/cake.generic.css is rechable from your Browser. If not you will get the warning in the Default-Homepage

If you have a {HOME}/css Directory at the root level, UrlRewriting will not redirect http://your_domain_name/css/cake.generic.css to {HOME}/app/webroot/css/cake.generic.css.

Thus the css-File will not be found, causing the Message that URL-rewriting is not properly configured. (Look at File app/View/Pages/home.cpt)

Solution: Completly remove {HOME}/css Directory at root-level. Put your css-File at {HOME}/app/webroot/css.
