I'm trying to get CakePHP 2 to work on an older laptop with Win2k/IIS
5.1. Previous versions of CakePHP worked fine, 1.2, 1.3 but 2.0 isn't
working. I think I've tried just about every combination (except the
correct one, of course!) Here is the htaccess from my webroot folder,
should be equal to the unmodified distribution file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I would think this is the config I should have in ISAPI_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /cake2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
And the base url is commented out in core.cfg
//Configure::write('App.baseUrl', env('SCRIPT_NAME'));
This doesn't work, I just get some churning and then the Pages view
comes up no matter what url I type in (ex: cake2/widgets/index). I
did some poking around in the core code and it appears it never reads
the url so it defaults to / every time.
The interesting thing is that I can't turn mod rewrite *off* either.
If I un-comment the baseUrl, and delete the 3 htaccess files, I get
the same page but with no css and this message:
URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server. 1) Help me
configure it 2) I don't / can't use URL rewriting
Inspecting the source shows that the link to the css is:
href="/cake2/matt/webroot/css/cake.generic.css"
when it should be:
href="/cake2/css/cake.generic.css"
So, all in all, I'm stuck. Luckily my Win7 computer at work is OK, but
my laptop is still running on Win2k. It appears the new version of
cake wants the url to be 'localhost/cake2/index.php?/widgets/index'
while the previous versions wanted 'localhost/cake2/index.php?url=/
widgets/index' so something doesn't like the new format.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
