I have apache2 installed on ubuntu 10.4
inside my var/www/
directory [amung others] I have a cakephp
and a dvdcatalog
directories. Each of which have CakePHP 1.3 installed.
I can access them both via localhost/cakephp
and localhost/dvdcatalog
But the dvdcatalog
shows up with no css styling.
They both have these files:
/var/www/cakephp/app/webroot/css/cake.generic.css /var/www/dvdcatalog/app/webroot/css/cake.generic.css
But when I go to http://localhost/cakephp/css/cake.generic.css
it sees the file but it does not see the file when I go to http://localhost/dvdcatalog/css/cake.generic.css
I think this means the cakephp
folder is able to use .htaccess
and the dvdcatalog
is not.
I setup the cakephp
directory last month when I was following in the blog tutorial. I am setting up the dvdcatalog
directory now for a different tutorial. So I am not sure if I am missing a step.
in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
file I have this:
<Directory "/var/www/*">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Which I thought gave .htaccesss
to all.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?
