I've created my first Akelos project, following the tutorial, but using one table which I added with script/migrate. I also created a Scaffold for this table. There were no error messages.
I added these 2 lines to config.php:

define('AK_DEBUG', true);
define('AK_LOG_EVENTS', true);

When I run http://localhost/project, I get the "Welcome aboard" screen, which I expected. When I added the controller name, I get a 404. Because I put no action, I assume that I would execute the "index" function. Same result. I specify an action of "listing". Same result. 404. I get no log, nor any information.

How may I fix this bug? Thanx.

Because I've never gotten an Akelos program to run, I can't go back and see what I might have changed to cause the problem. I have a virtual host set up and a non-Akelos PHP program (that I am converting to Akelos) does run. So I don't think I have a problem in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost alan.lakeinfoworks.com>
  ServerName alan.lakeinfoworks.com
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm index.shtml 
  ServerAdmin alan.lake@lakeinfoworks.com
  DocumentRoot /home/alan/www/html
  <Directory "/home/alan/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I don't see a problem in .htaccess either as it was generated as it is here.  (It was not acceptable as an attachment.)
DirectoryIndex index.php

ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Apache server error</h2>Akelos application failed to start properly"

I've been trying to trace the problem since before my original post, but am no closer to a solution. Any help will be appreciated.

I've solved this problem, but would like to close this thread by documenting what happened.

In the previous post, I had the question (No. 2) "Can I..." I tried and the answer is "yes".

Akelos documentation speaks of the necessity of changing the group name for each file in a project (including ./.htaccess and public/.htaccess) to that of the web server, which, in my case, is "apache". There is also the need to make group permissions read and write for these files. What I failed to realize is that processing sometimes resets these things to undesirable values and they must be set again. Because I work on a machine on which I have exclusive access, I may change my user group to "apache" and see if that keeps my permissions straight.

Anyhow, I can now begin to program with Akelos.
