1. xampp is up and running so I have apache and myql running services 2. I still struggling to make any sense of CAKE's arcane installation directions
I jave gone back to the CAKE manual: "3.2.2 Permissions: /app/tmp directory for a number of different operations. Model descriptions, cached views, and session information are just a few examples.As such, make sure the /app/tmp directory in your cake installation is writable by the web server user." I looked at permissions on xampp and all subdirectories and see it is "read only." Assuming this is source of my installation issues, I attempted to uncheck the read only and apply. Nothing changes. Ditto for CAKE directory and its subdirectories. Going to "advanced" properties doesn't help. I get warnings about some sort of Wizard that will be jeopardized if I allow sharing and went ahead anyway. Apparently these files are attached to a domain and XP will not allow me to change the security and remove the read only status. Any suggestions?
