Well, I tried this weekend to get cake running on Windows IIS7, MySQL
and PHP. It works fine with a fresh install and making a new
controller, model and view. Works fine with Apache on Windows too
but, I am seeing a recurring pattern here.
If I extend the AppController by placing another app_controller.php
file into the app directory and put var $components =
array('Session'); then in function beforeRender(){ $this->Session-
>check('some_key'); } I get this error:
[Mon Nov 19 10:36:34 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.100] PHP Fatal
error: Call to a member function check() on a non-object in C:\\apache
\\htdocs\\app\\app_controller.php on line 82
Doesn't matter if it's apache or iis, that's the error that persists.
Apache on Windows, I have mod_rewrite enabled in httpd.conf and I have
the AllowOverride settings to All.
Now, I also set up another Linux box with apache mysql and php, just
copied over the site and voila. Works fine!
The only difference is that one is on Windows and the other is on
Linux.
I am going to paste what's in my app controller.php here so, this post
may get a little long.
