Installing Application

Assuming you want to install it in a directory/folder called $webroot, and into a base url called $base_url

Configuration

Linux

cd $webroot
cd cake/console
./cake install
./cake createdb
./cake install   # ? why is this needed?

mod_rewrite: If you installed it in a nonroot base url (e.g.  http://localhost/~user/mymeeting/2.0-rc1/), you need to edit two files:

• $docroot/.htaccess
• $docroot/app/webroot/.htaccess

and configure add a RewriteBase? rule to the .htaccess (make sure your mod_rewrite is turned on in your Apache2 config) e.g. ($docroot == ~user/mymeeting/bracnhes/2.0-rc1/)

# .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
   RewriteBase    /~user/mymeeting/branches/2.0-rc1/
</IfModule>

# app/webroot/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
    RewriteBase /~user/mymeeting/branches/2.0-rc1/app/webroot
</IfModule>
