.htaccess killing 3 hours

Tags

I’m working in cakephp for last two years, I developed and hosted many times, during hosting I got many problem all these are .htaccess related.

Today I tried to host one of my project, I created a server on rackspace cloud and installing all features apache, mysql, phpmyadmin and configure everything, I installed sugarcrm there and it worked, but when I tried to run my cakephp project, its always displaying “PAGE NOT FOUND”. the rewrite mdoule was on and i checked it working for others,

I checked apache error/access log, not clue found, doing some google no result, but I never give-up again trying to do some google got a reference in drupal site and check my apache configuration.

Only one thing I left in apache configuration.

// Open the apache site available
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

The article says that for URL rewriting we need to make “AllowOverride none” to “AllowOverride All”

I open that file and changed it.

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All 
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All 
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
...... 
......
...

Done, went to my site and its working properly, 🙂
