The URL /test implies /test/index, which means Cake will look for this: app/controllers/test_controller.php (needs to have function index()) app/views/test/index.ctp (or .thtml for Cake 1.1)
app/views/layouts/default.ctp is optional, you don't need it in the beginning. Eventually you will want to customize it of course, but not having it means Cake uses the built in layout which means one less point of failure. The app/views/pages/ directory is for the Pages controller, which comes with Cake, which is supposed to be used for static pages you don't need a controller for. Chrs, Dav PS: It'll get better after a week or two, just don't tear your hair out until then. In a month you'll wonder how you could ever live without Cake. ;o) On 9 Sep 2008, at 01:27, gabriel wrote: > > Hi, I am new to cake and are really frustrated with the basics.
