Re: CakePhp with cgi php conundrum

In your app/Config/core.php try setting setting config var 'App.baseUrl' to '/mysite/'. There is already a commented line for it, so un comment and modify. Don't remove your htaccess files like the comment says :)

CakePhp worked perfectly in my dev environment, but my host (a
university) uses cgi Php, and it seems to be causing an interesting
issue.

All urls written by Cake are prepended by "/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/
w3u_mysite/". My CakePhp app is located at www.university.edu/mysite/
and I have the RewriteBase set as /mysite/ in my .htaccess file.

It appears to be the same issue experienced here (
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/ef0d18910fd0e6f/cf587ec5b3240db1
), but I'm assuming a lot has changed since 2007, and there was no
definitive answer in that discussion.

My current workaround is to avoid using any of Cake's link writing
functions, and to hardcode links in my views. This is obviously not
ideal.

As in the 2007 question, I've searched through Cake looking for a
variable definition where the "/cgi-bin/cgiwrap" is set, but have had
no luck. Anyone have any clue as to what's happening, or a cleaner
workaround?

It may also be of importance that my app directory has AllowOverride
set to certain options instead of All. I have FollowSymLinks enabled,
as well as rewrite capabilities. They don't allow a blanket "All"
configuration, and it is unclear which, if any, other features Cake
needs.

Thank you!
