Thank you for your response. However, I am confused. How is my directory structure different than the suggested one here: http://book.cakephp.org/view/34/Production?
This is my first deployment to a production server, so please excuse my desire to come close to being able to understand what I am doing. I tried to follow these instructions for the .htaccess files: http://book.cakephp.org/view/37/Apache-and-mod_rewrite-and-htaccess. Should the directory structure be like this? / [root] /cake [moved up to root level of shared hosting account] /reporting /reporting/.htaccess /reporting/app /reporting/app/[plus everything else app related] /reporting/app/.htaccess /reporting/app/webroot/.htaccess /reporting/index.php /reporting/README /reporting/vendors With a structure like this wouldn't I need to change some more of the Cake values as found in this article: http://book.cakephp.org/view/35/Advanced-Installation? Thanks in advance for your help. This is a little bit confusing since there is conflicting advice in other articles outside of the CookBook. Maybe someone could create an overview document that lists known shared hosting servers (like fatCow, 1and1, goDaddy, etc.) and what experienced developers have found to the optimal structure for production deployment. That would be a terrific tool for everyone. Thanks again!
