I'm currently trying to set up the Uniform Server as lightweight server for baking cakes (aka programming with CakePHP). Since it uses beautified URLs, and mod_rewrite, I got a problem. At first I got a 403 Error for the folder where I have placed Cake, but that was corrected using some Google-Fu and this forum and Options +FollowSymLinks Now I'm getting a 500 Error. I tried following .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
and
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Neither works. For reference, I'm using vanilla Uniform Server 3.5 and Cake PHP 1.2.0.7296 RC2, currently on Vista.
