CakePHP 1.3.0 RC4 Installation

Question

I have been using 1.2.6 and downloaded 1.3 to try it out. I am using wampserver with Apache 2.2.11. I have mod rewrite enabled. When I bake a new application using the cake 1.3 console, after I verify that the webroot/index.php of the application CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH is set to the Cake1.3 Installation folder. The result is a page thats missing CSS, missing a method. Typing in localhost/app/index.php will enable the program to find the app. Therefore I have to assume the rewrite module isnt functioning properly for v1.3. Is there something I have to add to the cake installation or app folder to make this function as it should?

Answer 1

No, Cake is set up properly from the start. The thing that always trips me up is that I forget to set my Apache virtual host's AllowOverride value to All. This allows the .htaccess file to be read.

Answer 2

Are there any error messages in your apache error logs?

Did you replace the previous application's directory with the new one? If not, you may need to add a tag with the appropriate AllowOverride permissions set inside your httpd.conf file, to allow mod rewrite to execute.

Can you load /css/style.css in your browser or does it give a 404?

Answer 3

This may sound like a silly question, but after you made your changes to AllowOverride in your Apache configuration, did you restart Apache?
