Hey all,
I am trying to migrate an existing cake php site to a new hosting provider and am running into a problem (probably due to my own inexperience). I took a zip of the site sent to me by the original developer and plopped it into the html directory of the new host (where html is the webroot). I setup and populated a mySQL database and changed the files to correctly point to this database. The homepage comes up fine....BUT none of the links work! 3 other symptoms that may be associated: 1) at first the site gave an error 500 which according to the hosting support team was due to the contents of the htaccess file... "Thank you for contacting technical support regarding your issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. An .htacess file in your FTP root directory contained some mod_rewrite rules that were causing a redirect loop: [Tue Jan 16 16:56:44 2007] [error] [client 66.223.59.30] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary. [Tue Jan 16 16:56:44 2007] [error] [client 66.223.59.30] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. I have renamed the .htaccess file to .htaccess.old and your site and admin page are accessible now. Please note that the document root directory of your web site is the /html directory under your FTP account. At this time, it appears your web files have been uploaded to your FTP root directory instead, where they will not be accessible via a browser. Please re-upload your web contents to the /html directory under your FTP site. This may be why your mod_rewrite rules are not functioning properly, but as we cannot provide technical support for custom code like mod_rewrite rules, we recommend having your web developer or programmer check them before re-enabling your .htaccess file." 2) After the .htaccess was removed the home page still had problems in that it could not access the images referenced on the page. I moved the rest of the app/webroot files to the html directory and viola! 3) I am even a little stumped as to how the site is working at all. I have made several changes to the thtml files and cannot see any update to the page at all Thanks for any help you can give! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
