I was hoping to make a couple of directories under the webroot, e.g. www.mysite.com/nonCakeDir1/ www.mysite.com/nonCakeDir2/
so I could then make calls to php files within those. (e.g. www.mysite.com/nonCakeDir2/hello.php) But as soon as there is a directory within the webroot, cake wants to use it's structure (looking for controllers and views). How do I set things up to use these directories?
