I have been trying to set up cake 1.3.8 with an "advanced installation" configuration on a subdomain of a shared host, without success. I got very close, with everything working except that some pages would not open when clicking the link. This was especially the case when switching from https pages to http pages and vice versa. Reloading the page or directly inputting the url loads the pages properly.
After a lot of searching, I found one link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5382293/cakephp-trying-to-install-an-application-in-a-subdomain which mirrors my situation and states that you need a virtual host to create an advanced installation on a subdomain. My question is: is this true, is this only for subdomains or also true for domains, and is there any workaround? I cannot create a virtual host on my shared hosting setup (is it done automatically?), but I want an staging area to test things out. Is there any way out, other than going for a dedicated server? Here is my desired setup: Shared hosting using cPanel /home /domain /staging /app /cake… /production /app /cake… /public_html /staging (i.e. cake webroot) /css /files... /production (i.e. cake webroot) /css /files... -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
