Answer 2

I have two project one main project which is running fine but now i want to run another cakephp project on the same domain.

So you are in the write place this tutorial will help you to run a cakephp on a sub domain

1. First you have change the .htaccess on /httpdocs/

   
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule    ^$ cake_sub_project/app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) cake_sub_project/app/webroot/$1 [L]
   
   

   This two new line needs to add on your main .htaccess file. Here "cake_sub_project" is the sub project

   RewriteRule    ^$ cake_sub_project/app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) cake_sub_project/app/webroot/$1 [L]
   

Now goto your sub folder and make sure you have changed the .htacces on the following directory.

    cake_sub_project/
    cake_sub_project/app
    cake_sub_project/webroot
    

2. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project as following

    
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/
    RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
    
    

3. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project/app as following

      
   
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/app/
   RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
   
   

4. Need to edit the .htaccess from /httpdocs/cake_sub_project/app/webroot as following

      
   
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /cake_sub_project/app/webroot/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
