routes - cakephp routing retrieve parameter from url to redirect -

i using cakephp v2.3.8 , struggle bit routing.

the old url www.domain.com/properties.aspx?prop=1999
want route properties controller id = 1999 url like: www.domain.com/properties/view/1999

in routes.php strip .aspx out of url struggle last bit.

router::parseextensions('htm','html','aspx'); 

this how close am:

router::connect('/properties', array('controller' => 'properties', 'action' => 'view', ??? ')); 

this view function in propertiescontroller.php

public function view($id = null) {     if (!$this->property->exists($id)) {         throw new notfoundexception(__('sorry, couldn\'t find looking for...'));     }     $options = array('conditions' => array('property.' . $this->property->primarykey => $id));     $propdata = $this->property->find('first', $options);             $this->set('property', $propdata); } 

this works perfect within website, not mentioned, redirected www.domain.com/properties

this .htaccess file in public_html folder.

rewriteengine on rewritebase /  rewritecond %{http_host} !^www\. [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{http_host}/$1 [r=301,l]  rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php [qsa,l] 

thanks looking this.

file structure:

.htaccess [1]   /app/.htaccess [2]   /lib/cake/   /public_html/.htaccess [3]     /plugins/   /vendors/   

[1]

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> rewriteengine on rewriterule    ^$ app/webroot/    [l] rewriterule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [l] </ifmodule> 

[2]

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> rewriteengine on rewriterule    ^$    webroot/    [l] rewriterule    (.*) webroot/$1    [l] </ifmodule> 

[3]

rewriteengine on rewritebase / rewritecond %{http_host} !^www\. [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{http_host}/$1 [r=301,l] rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php [qsa,l]  /public_html/index.php  if (!defined('root')) { define('root', ds.'home'.ds. 'user'); }  /** * actual directory name "app". * */ if (!defined('app_dir')) { define('app_dir', 'app'); }   

nick think problem due .htaccess file

you have setup cakephp in public_html think have replaced .htaccess file of cakephp contains code like:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>    rewriteengine on    rewriterule    ^$ app/webroot/    [l]    rewriterule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [l] </ifmodule> 

place .htaccess file @ out side app folder,means in publich_html folder
