title: Running a CakePHP project on Localhost
body: <p>I have downloaded a CakePHP project from an online server and need to make it work locally, to do some changes.
  I'm facing a problem similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3341422/cakephp-css-and-images-problem-at-localhost">this one</a> and have tried all possible solutions, with no luck. </p>
  
  <p>Here's the situations:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Site home is in localhost/xpto (c:\xampp\htdocs\xpto) -> here, the site appears unformatted (no CSS) and too slow.</li>
  <li>If I access localhost/xpto/something, I get the site with the CSS, but some links wont work.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have mod_rewrite loaded (phpinfo()) together with the 3 .htaccess files, but still experience this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any known issue that I can explore to fix my site?
  Please redirect me to any guides or tutorials that you may feel relevant to my issue</p>
