I have been searching for a solution for 2 hours but nothing seems to work... here is my problem:

I have WordPress installed in the root (var/www). So by going to http://www.geekderek.com, I see my wordpress site.

I put CakePHP in a subdirectory var/www/cakephp. I want to be able to see my CakePHP app by going to: www.geekderek.com/cakephp.

However, currently this url just returns a Wordpress page saying "Content not found."

I believe this problem can be solved by modifying .htaccess in my root directory. So here is my .htaccess: http://pastebin.com/sXJTRstB

As you can see, I added this line to the default WP .htaccess file:

RewriteRule    ^cakephp(/(.*))?$ cakephp/app/webroot/$1    [QSA,L]

However, for some reason this doesn't seem to work.

Could anyone please tell me what is wrong?? Thank you so much!
