Hi 1. The log line you get shows clearly that it's an Apache issue. The message obviously says that you must enable FollowSymLinks in your httpd.conf so that "mod_rewrite" works (see here : https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/1700)... you must put "Options FollowSymLinks" in your httpd.conf (there may be already an "Options" line, in your Directory section - the one that refers to you www root, to which you can add "FollowSymLinks"). See more Apache specific documentation for this issue (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html)
2. I don't know what Uniform Server is, but from your directory structure, it doesn't seem like you actually use "user directories"; you just use a "regular" subdirectory of your document root (www). "user directories" is an Apache module that basically redirects "http://your_server/~your_user_name/"; to a subdirectory of your personal home directory (in Windows, it may be C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\htdocs or C:\.....\public_html). So I think you don't need the "RewriteRule" extra line. Try this, and it *may* work. +++++++ Clément On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 9:57 PM, www.landed.at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have followed all except the last line of that link which is > > # If you are installing CakePHP into a user directory (http:// > example.com/~username), you'll need to modify the .htaccess file in > the base directory of your CakePHP installation.
