I'm with kabturek on this one. I'd stick with the initial download setup until you learn the ins and outs of cake and its structure. It's simple, just drop the whole download into a folder accessible by your browser, make sure mod_rewrite is on, set up your database.php file in /app/config/ and you're ready to go!
If you don't have a development server on your computer a great one with EASY setup set up is xampp. Xampp and xampp lite have everything you need to get started with cake. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html On Aug 4, 1:24 am, kabturek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >From what you've written you seem to want to develop an app - woudn't > > it be wiser to use the *developement* setup ? ;) probably on your home > machine ?
