Hi, John. Thanks for the reply and I totally agree with you on this one but, the descision was made based on an idiot in Indiana who already signed and payed 2.5 million to Microsoft to come in and revamp our whole communications network from Great Plains accounting servers to all TV channel and newspapers web sites to be transferred to a server farm in the middle of no-where. The requirement is that the site can easily be copied from our directories to thiers lol!
Yes I do need a new job lol! This pays crap especially for California. This company pulls in 175 mil profit a year (this is a subsidary) and I barely make double min wage. It sucks but, it's the only work I can find that deals with computers. The alternative is installing alarm systems for Brinks or something in attics at 120 degrees. Until I finish with my Bachelors, I am stuck. On the error, it seems that once I port over Cake to IIS6, uncomment the correct line in core.php and clean out tmp, it still will not load components and helpers. Some load, some do not. Namely the Session component, Cookie component and the Html helper. Doing some tests in app_controller in the beforeFilter() method, I tried to manually load all sorts of helpers and components. Those in particular stop the site dead in it's tracks. Another peculiar thing, if I uncomment the App.baseUrl config in core.php I get an error about the cake_logger not knowing what LOG_ERROR is, even though it is clearly defined in core.php. (This is from a fresh cake install). I will say this, I am at home right now on my laptop that has Vista and looking at IIS7, I can get a fresh install of cake to work complete with the urls looking like this: index.php?url=/controllers/ controllerMethod/params1 But, when I put my BFS (Big F***** Site) up there, I get the same errors about cake not being able to load components, helpers, models and controllers. Works fine on Apache with mod_rewrite, sucks on IIS with nothing. I am also hoping that since, IIS7 has HttpRedirect module built in to it, I can get something going that is sort of like mod_rewrite. /shrug Here's to hoping I can get something going this weekend.
