cakePHP and wampserver

[tweak50]

Has anyone managed to get a cakePHP app working with wampserver? No matter what tutorial I follow, I can never get it to work. Every page I go to produces a 404 error.

Sounds like you haven't updated the AllowOverride setting for Apache.

CakePHP uses .htaccess files with mod rewrite rules to direct the request to the appropriate files. The default setting doesn't allow you to do this.

Google has lots of tutorials for updating this stuff...

I don't think my issue is with Windows. As stated above it is an Apache config issue(which I still need to explore). Windows, Linux, my kitchen toaster etc. would have the same problem.

Where did you set the DocumentRoot to?

Your gonna need to have mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache config. If you have it enabled and its still not working, follow iisbum's suggestion of adding the AllowOverride command to your htaccess config/httpd.conf (Unless your using Virtual Hosts, then it will be in the <virtualhost> block for that vhost)


EDDDDDDIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Here's the <Directory> block with the AllowOverride command in it.. Once you put that line in, restart your Apache server...

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories). 
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of 
# features.

<Directory />
