Thanks Will But I still cannot get it to work.
There is a .htaccess file in both the project folder of the project and one in the \app folder. Neither is hidden. here is content of the one in project folder == 8< ==== <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule> == >8 ==== I know nothing about mod_rewrite so do not know what it is trying to do. This is running on a WinXP virtual PC with latest WAMP installer. Also I am using PHPStorm. So far everything works as expected. I can insert view and change data. But I cannot see a good screen as the css is not being found. I have un-commented the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/ mod_rewrite.so line in httpd.conf and restarted Apache Should I rename the .htaccess files or should they stay like that on a windows system ? Still confused here. 8-( John On Nov 21, 1:56 pm, "#2Will" <[email protected]> wrote: > this is normally because the .htaccess file is missing from the site > root. because it is a hidden file or whatever... > > w > > On Nov 20, 7:43 pm, johng <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > I have followed a tutorial for my first try using the scaffold, and I > > can connect to db and produce the output.
