I am new to cakephp and I want to change my project's admin from 'websiteurl/admin' to something unique and different as per client requirement. But the problem is that I cannot do that from routes file as it can create some issues in the project. So I thought to do that using htaccess. But htaccess is not rewriting urls. My project directory is www/html/myproject/

Here's what config I've done- 1. Enabled mod_rewrite using sudo a2enmod rewrite. 2. Added

Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow from all

in file- /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

For testing purpose I created a test.html file in www/html/myproject/webroot/ and here's my htaccess code in webroot

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^testfile$ test.html [NC]
</IfModule>

below code added to increase file upload size

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M

But When I access the projecturl/testfile Cakephp gives error that TestFileController could not be found.

Can you please tell me where I am doing wrong in using htaccess and also will it be good to use htaccess rather than routes file to change admin url? Thank you.

Did you restart Apache after the `a2enmod`? – Greg Schmidt Apr 22 '19 at 19:32
Yes, I tried restarting apache many times after the configuration. – Himanshu Sharma Apr 23 '19 at 09:31
You cannot put stuff after an all catching `[L]`ast rule. – ndm Apr 23 '19 at 10:38
@ndm I added my code above that line but still not working. – Himanshu Sharma Apr 23 '19 at 11:12
