Mark, I've installed three different CakePHP sites on Dreamhost and haven't had problems. All three are on shared servers (not dedicated) and CakePHP installed just fine without asking Dreamhost to change any settings. Things to check: 1) You edited the domain under "Manage Domains", "Web Directory:" to be /home/username/cake/app/webroot (or else point to the app/webroot of your CakePHP install) 2) Make sure your copy of CakePHP has all the .htaccess files intact 3) Check if the .htaccess file in webroot has the basic rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] Otherwise, it should work. I have my three domains with CakePHP apps running PHP 5.1.2, but that shouldn't make a difference in your case. Hope that helps... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
