Hi Janis, example.com is a placeholder for the domain name which will host your future application. Just ignore this as long as you application isn't running on your final webserver. If you put your cake folder in the document root ( = htdocs) your application should show up when you request http://localhost/
Later when it is running on your real webserver in the wild you will get it when you type in your own registered domain name like e.g. www.janisrough.org Anja ________________________________ Von: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Janis Rough Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5. November 2008 05:01 An: cake-php@googlegroups.com Betreff: configuring cakePHP, I am using Xampp I put the unpacked cake folders in the htdocs folder. I restarted it after I did the following in httpd.conf: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so AllowOverride All I typed http://localhost/example.com. I didn't get an example page but I did get this message: CakePHP Rapid Development Not found The requested address example.com was not found on this server. I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I noticed that after I opened the .htaccess file and the httpd.conf files in Notepad that the name of the files diappeared next to the picture of the file although the name looks right in the properties. I guess Windows hid the filename. I guess I didn't need to open the httpd.conf files except to try to figure out what mod rewrite is all about. In any case my basic question is why can't I get the example.com to see if the configuration works or not and since I did get some information about CAke does that mean it might be working and what else do I need to do to get it working. thanks, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
