CakePHP does not work on shared hosting (Godaddy)

Question

I tried using an internal rewrite, but only the main page shows. Any access to, for example, http://www.example.com/logins/ will just return a 404 Not Found error.

How can I enable the mod_rewrite in a shared hosting environment (Godaddy in my case)?

Answer 1

Have a look at the following article: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/mod-rewrite-on-godaddy-shared-hosting

Answer 2

Unfortunately, even if you fix that problem you're likely to run into others due to overzealous (and probably misguided) security lockdowns on PHP.

Specifically, I currently can't get it working because the following PHP methods have "been disabled for security reasons:"

• ini_get()
• fopen()
• readdir()
