You're not able to bake anything at all, or just this file? Does the directory (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/MusicDB/app/tests/fixtures/) exist? If not, make it. Make sure ownership and permissions are also correct on every directory leading up to that one. When I set up my first CakePHP project, I had trouble with the tmp directory. Since I knew CakePHP would write temporary files there in the course of serving the web site, I changed the ownership of the tmp directory to the web server user, but this turned out not to be the right thing to do since it prevented bake from working, since bake wants to write files there as well and is running as me, not as the web server user. In the end, I changed the tmp directory's ownership back to me, and just set its permissions wide open. Once I publish this site to a production web server, I'll probably set it back the way I had it initially, since I won't need to bake anything on the production server.
