To enable mod_rewrite in Ubuntu, you just need to write this command in terminal     sudo a2enmod rewrite Restart your your apache.     sudo service apache2 restart After enabling mod_rewrite you can write .htaccess file for your web application.

IIS7 does not natively support .htaccess files. While there are add-ons that can add this support, you can also import htaccess rules into IIS to use CakePHP’s native rewrites. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Create a new file in your CakePHP root folder, called Web.config.      /site/wwwroot/    or  /site/wwwroot/cakefolder/ or outside of your app   directory 2. Paste this rule to your Web.config. <? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?> < configuration > < system . webServer > < rewrite > < rules > < clear /> < rule name = "Imported Rule 0" stopProcessing = "true" > < match url = "^(img|css|files|js)(.*)$" ></ match > < action type = "Rewrite" url = "app/webroot/{R:1}{R:2}" appendQueryString = "false" ></ act
