regex - How to configure htaccess file for Cake 2.3.x on 1and1 shared hosting

itemprop="text">

Using the default cakephp
htaccess file setup will not work on my domain when I want to install my Cakephp app in
a subfolder, while everything works on localhost
(xampp)

target => href="http://example.com/mycakeapp" rel="nofollow
noreferrer">http://example.com/mycakeapp

Install
needs 3 htaccess files:

root
.htaccess

 #.htaccess in root

            

 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /mycakeapp

            RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.) app/webroot/$1
            [L]
 
 

in app
.htaccess

 
 RewriteEngine
            on

 RewriteBase /mycakeapp
 RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/
            [L]
 RewriteRule (.) app/ webroot/$1 [L]
 

            

in webroot .htaccess

 
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase
            /mycakeapp

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php
            [QSA,L]
 
 

Following
cakephp documentation, and Using these htaccess files, I get error500
results.
Using RewriteBase / instead of /mycakeapp will throw 404 error
page.

php is in 5.4
version

How can I solve this?

Answer

Setup your rules like
this:

.htaccess in
DOCUMENT_ROOT

RewriteEngine
            on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) mycakeapp/$1
            [L]

.htaccess
in
DOCUMENT_ROOT/mycakeapp

RewriteEngine
            on
RewriteBase /mycakeapp/
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1
            [L]

.htaccess
in
DOCUMENT_ROOT/mycakeapp/app

RewriteEngine
            on
RewriteBase /mycakeapp/app/
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1
            [L]

.htaccess
in
DOCUMENT_ROOT/mycakeapp/app/webroot

RewriteEngine
            On
RewriteBase
            /mycakeapp/app/webroot/


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
            !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php
            [L]
