According to the error it looks like it is looking for cake inside of your app. Because you have control of apache you can change what it considers your webroot or since security isn't a huge issue in a flash drive I would just toss your cake folder inside your htdocs, leave your app folder inside the cake folder, and then move your apps webroot outside into htdocs as well. Then modify your index.php file inside your webroot file to point to your cake folder. That way you can just reference localhost/myapp and it should work(or add whatever port it runs on). It would look like this -htdocs --myappwebroot --cake ---lib ---myapp
--myappwebroot ---index.php index.php if (!defined('ROOT')) { define('ROOT', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . DS . 'cake'); } /** * The actual directory name for the "app". * */ if (!defined('APP_DIR')) { define('APP_DIR', 'myapp'); } On Saturday, March 10, 2012 12:26:53 PM UTC-8, gaz wrote: > > Hi! > > I have been trying to install cakephp on USB.
