What I'm trying to do:

I've developed a web application with cakephp 2.2.1 on wamp. Now I want to install it on an Apache server (version 2.2.16).

Error:

The requested URL /inetpub/wwwroot/cakephp/app/webroot was not found on this server.

What I did:

That's seemed to me to be a .htaccess error.

I checked that

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

was uncommented.

I made sure that

Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All

was enabled for the wwwroot/cakephp dir. Then I checked that all the .htaccess files were conform to the docs.

Still no luck.

Question:

Does anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: here is app/webroot/index.php:

did you bake the app? Sometimes the path to webroot gets hard coded in app/webroot/index.php, and if you're copying it from a wampp installation the paths may be wrong.Ross
I did bake the app. But it is not the source of the error as it also appear with a clean install of cakephp. I will still add the content of the file in my question.L. Sanna
Does your apache have mod_rewrite installed? Does your apache have read/execute rights on those folders?Bart Vangeneugden
mod_rewrite is installed, it transforms /inetpub/wwwroot/cakephp in /inetpub/wwwroot/cakephp/app/webrootL. Sanna

Problem solved:

First if your website is

http://www.example.info/tmp/

put respectively in the three .htaccess:

RewriteBase /tmp/ 
RewriteBase /tmp/app/ 
RewriteBase /tmp/app/webroot  

and replace

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

by

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
