Hi everyone, It seems like I kind of solved this problem. Thanks to everyone's help, I learned a lot through the process.
Just in case anybody is having similar issue, here is what I did, I'm really a novice, so I can't explain why every step is necessary, but it works for me: 1) I followed a youtube tutorial talking about the configuration on shared hosting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GobWo1rIkE&tracker=False 2) After I've done that, it worked for my homepage, but the rest pages are still 404 error. So I finally found a tutorial here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1214658/cakephp-shared-hosting-dilemma/5262323#5262323 The reason I failed was because my domain looks like www.example.com/~username, So in the .htaccess file located in your public_html folder, you need to add the rewriteBase /~username/. So this is really a special case for me, isn't necessary for everyone. And later if I change to a more standard domain, I should remove this line. That's it. Happy Baking. -David On Mar 10, 8:46 am, Tan Cheng <davidtan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the article, I'm reading it. > > On Mar 10, 3:49 am, rethab <rethab...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Find more information about the advanced setup > > here:http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/915/Advanced-Installation > > > cheers > > > On 10 Mrz., 09:31, thatsgreat2345 <thatsgreat2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > You said you wanted to have the website be example.com/exceltv so what > > > you can do is put webroot in public_html then just rename it to > > > exceltv > > > > (the files inside webroot will now be in a folder called exceltv in > > > public_html) > > > > On Mar 9, 8:19 pm, Tan Cheng <davidtan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Thanks for your help. > > > > > I have a question, when you say "put your webroot in your public_html > > > > ", do you mean put the "webroot" folder in public_html, or you mean > > > > put the files in the webroot in the "public_html"? > > > > > Thanks!! > > > > > -David > > > > > On Mar 9, 9:42 pm, thatsgreat2345 <thatsgreat2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > I guess I should have used your example folder > > > > > > where I said folder_you_want_to_access_your_site_through, name that > > > > > exceltv > > > > > and you can call your app folder whatever you want > > > > > > This way, if you want to run multiple cake sites on your shared host > > > > > you will have all the apps inside your cake folder > > > > > Then make a new folder in public_html, and change that path properties > > > > > to what i posted there and you only have to have one cake core, but > > > > > multiple apps > > > > > > On Mar 9, 6:39 pm, thatsgreat2345 <thatsgreat2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > You need to put your webroot in your public_html and then change > > > > > > your > > > > > > index.php file in webroot to point to your cake root and your app > > > > > > path > > > > > > > This is how I have it setup. > > > > > > > /cake > > > > > > /appnamehere > > > > > > /controllers > > > > > > /models > > > > > > /other stuff > > > > > > /cake > > > > > > /vendors > > > > > > /tests > > > > > > /other folders and files that come with cake > > > > > > > /public_html > > > > > > /folder_you_want_to_access_your_site_through (example.com/ > > > > > > folder_you_want_to_access_your_site_through) > > > > > > > Inside index.php that is in your > > > > > > webroot(folder_you_want_to_access_your_site_through/index.php) > > > > > > > Change to root to > > > > > > if (!defined('ROOT')) { > > > > > > define('ROOT', dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))) > > > > > > .
