Cakephp project not working on server - .htaccess

Currently working on a project and completed. Works fine in local. But when uploaded to server. It Doesnt work as it should be. CSS and JS and images are not linked. I checked all the .htaccess files in project folder and they seem fine. These are the codes in .htaccess files
in root
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
in app
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
in webroot
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
These files were still same since uploaded to server. I also went through some articles and questions to make sure that am not messing with .htaccess files. Then i found this issue.
in local when i tried to open /localhost/project/app/Controller/UsersController.php in local it returns error as it should be
But when i tried the same in server
The page actually seems accessed. Since its controller no output is found but i can be sure the Controller is accessed directly. I cant figure out what kind of issue am going through. Am quite new to this. Any help will be appreciated.

Cake creates tmp files under tmp folder. You must need to give permission read/write to this folder. After making your code live please make 777 permission to your tmp folder and try to delete all those files under sub folders. It may work and please share your results. You will find tmp folder under app folder.

Your problem is in the in root .htaccess it should be like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ projectfolder/app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) projectfolder/app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

The project works now(Have to contact support for enabling the mod_rewrite). I enabled
Configure::write('App.baseUrl', env('SCRIPT_NAME'));
in config/core.php The problem is didnt have the mod_rewrite enabled in server. So enabling that in core supported the project to work without mod rewrite.

I had same problem, it was working on localhost but not on server, it was throwing 404 error.
It is because I had uploaded my website in subdirectory of sever root. I did many things to make it work but as I am using htaccess in root folder I found no solution on root level.
Finally I found a solution, edited existing htaccess of cakephp root folder and added "RewriteBase" after RewriteEngine on.
Full code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /name_of_the_subFolder
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Like if my project appear in 'xyz.com/one/two/cake/' then RewriteBase would be Rewritebase /one/two/cake/.
It worked for me.

Codeigniter and .htaccess file to ignore index.php

So I'm having a weird problem with .htaccess file and codeigniter. I have a wamp server on my local machine and there it works as expected. I have folders like that wamp/www/my_app and in my_app folder i have .htaccess file like that:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my_app/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
And in mine config.php gile i have:
$config['base_url']='';
$config['index_page']='';
$config['uri_protocol']='AUTO';
So i tried uploading that project to debian server on link like apps.myserver.com/my_app. I put my app to folder var/www/my_app. But the trick is that it doesn't work.
I have tried changing uri_protocol to all 5 options but no change. I also tried putting .htaccess file to var/www instead of var/www/my_app but no change either.
I keep getting that stupid 404 Not Found error when i try to access controlers without index.php prefix.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I checked phpinfo on server and found that mod_rewrite is in loaded modules.
The mod_rewrite module can have a couple different extensions. Your Debian server might use mod_rewrite.so instead of mod_rewrite.c.
That said, if you know mod_rewrite is enabled, and your application isn't being widely distributed and needs to check for it, you can safely eliminate the if checks.
You mentioned commenting out everything except lines 3 and 7 -- you commented out the RewriteBase definition, which broke stuff.
Try something simple, and work from there:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my_app/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Also, one variation you can do if an .htaccess is being weird, is to change everything after index.php to a query string. Note the ? here:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
You may or may not to change the uri_protocol config setting in CodeIgniter. My guess is you specifically won't, but it's info for others who are having .htaccess issues.

fuelphp htaccess for multiple app directory not working

I have a directory structure like below.
public_html/
/abc/
/xyz/
/pqr/
there is a index.php in each these directories, abc,xyz,pqr.
now whenever is there any request like domain.com/abc/def/ghi should be rewritten to domain.com/abc/index.php/def/ghi
domain.com/xyz/def/ghi => domain.com/xyz/index.php/def/ghi
domain.com/pqr/def/ghi => domain.com/pqr/index.php/def/ghi
What should be the .htaccess file and where it should be placed?
I have .htaccess file in each directory(abc,xyz,pqr) like below, but it is not working. it is showing 404 page not found. Please guide me to handle all these rewrite conditions.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
But this is not working... If this is right .htaccess then please tell me if there is any other server side problem. I am setting up this on CentOs server.
You will probably need a RewriteBase /abc to deal with the subfolders.
I had problem with my directory access, I was needed to update the access for content directory(domain.com) in apache config file(httpd.conf)

.htaccess help shortening a url

i have been working on setting up a url shortener with codeigniter i have everything working great and it works now with shortened urls like below.
http://example.com/shorten/i/znAS
ok what am looking to do is shorten it just to the i with my .htaccess access i am a complete newbie with .htaccess and have no idea how to do this is have been following this example here. http://briancray.com/posts/free-php-url-shortener-script/
which uses
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shorten/(.*)$ shorten.php?longurl=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]{1,6})$ redirect.php?url=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Above is not really relevant for mine as its code igniter based. ok so shorten is my controller and i have a function within called i,
i have tried various combinations but nothing has worked for me yet below is my .htaccess.
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^shorten/(.*)$ shorten/i/=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
<Files "index.php">
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>
whats there is currently breaking the website at the moment just looking and google at the mo but thought i would also add a post here as well thanks
With CI (or any framework for that matter), it is best to never touch the .htaccess file, unless you really need to. Take a look at the documentation with regard to working with the routes.php file in your application/config directory.
Try this route setting in the array:
'shorten/(.+)' => 'shorten/i/$1'
Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

CakePHP HTAccess 500 Internal Server Error, 404 Page Not Found errors

I'm using CakePHP 1.2 Version and When I upload my site on Live Server, it gives me 500 Internal Server Error
When I check mod_rewrite in phpinfo function, its not visible, but on same server another Joomla site is running perfectly fine without any problem of htaccess or path rewrite issue with AceSEF Component of Joomla for htaccess page / paths, so I believe as this is Shared server it must be that way.
I have tried different options like adding 'RewriteBase /' in root .htaccess file or trying the same in app/webroot/.htaccess files as well but no solution works for me.
Even when I write, 'RewriteBase /' in root .htaccess and app/.htaccess file, error changes to 400 Page Not Found. I don't know why.
Below is the .htaccess code:
root .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
app/.htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
app/webroot/.htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I have read through some links like: Apache-and-mod_rewrite-and-htaccess though not much helpful
Any answer or solution for this error? Much appreciated !!
Thanks
Check if the rewrite module is linked in the enabled modules of apache. Like you said it isnt listed in phpinfo() so the module maybe isnt enabled and joomla has some workarounds.
(use following commands at your own risk, you need root access)
under debian/ubuntu; apache2 enable the module like that
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load
you have to restart apache2
service apache2 restart
Then the module should be enabled! So try again.
Alternatively, tell the url you try to open!

Path caused incorrect display in cakephp

I am new to cakephp. This problem is my key development issue. I was trying to avoid asking this question on stack overflow because i have past experience of marks being deducted for noob questions. I researched solution for almost two days now on google, however, all the solutions are either not really useful or so unclear to a newbie like me. I need professionals from stack overflow to help me.
Basically, i installed xampp on mac, the path to my xampp in httpd.conf is
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
now i created a subfolder in htdocs named as cake, the installed cakephp in it. cakephp is working, but the problem is the image files and css are not displaying . I searched online and many suggested solution to change .htaccess . Here are my three .htaccess changes
.htaccess under cake
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /cake/
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
.htaccess under cake>app
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /cake/app/
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
.htaccess under cake>app>webroot
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cake/app/webroot/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
However image and css is still not working. Please help. Thank you very much
Have you enabled Apache's mod_rewrite?
Have you allowed individual folders to override server settings with .htaccess?
In your system conf file, make sure you have the following:
AllowOverride All
In the directory directive that covers your webroot.
