Installing CakePHP 1.2 in a Subdirectory

I needed to test some CakePHP code on a client’s 1and1 server today, so I dropped my CakePHP app in a subdirectory (called agents2) on his site.  But, after doing so, I kept getting “Class ‘Configure’ not found”.  Luckily, I stumbled upon this blog post over at kushaura.com which saved me.

The core issue was with my root .htaccess file which needed to be changed to:

      RewriteEngine on
      RewriteBase    /agents2/

      RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]

      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

And that did the trick.

Thanks, Kushaura.com!
