Set up CakePHP in a subdirectory; Wordpress is installed in the root

Question

I have been searching for a solution for 2 hours but nothing seems to work... here is my problem:

I have WordPress installed in the root (var/www). So by going to http:

Answer 1

thanat's answer almost worked for me. i just had to edit the RewriteBase to read

RewriteBase /cakephp

and make sure apache conf allowed my root directory to override its previous options

<Directory "/my/root/dir">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

but then again, my app dir lies outside the DocumentRoot set by apache. and the cakephp dir is actually the webroot itself. so my dir structure is as follows

/my/root
/my/root/app  #cake's app dir without webroot
/my/root/dir  #apache DocumentRoot (your wordpress is here)
/my/root/dir/cakephp  #cake's webroot

also make sure to edit /my/root/dir/cakephp/index.php so it knows where the app and cake's library dirs are.

Answer 2

This is my case, with laravel but they are the same.

Just need to change

AllowOverride None => AllowOverride All

Answer 3

I have simmilar setup, that my cake app is in subdirectory, my root .htaccess has this rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^cakephp/(.*)$ /cakephp/$1 [L,QSA]

All the rest is handled with the regular cakephp setup.

my /cakephp/app/webroot/.htaccess:

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

hope this works for you too :)
