Re: Sad Question
A colleague of mine a couple of years ago ran into problems with 2003
web edition, found that it really tried to lock everything down in an
attempt to be a secure internet server. Since the server was slotted
for intranet only (behind firewall), he switched to 2003 standard and
found things worked better; he claimed that doing the post-config from
the service pack was still a bit tricky, though, as again, the SP was
attempting to lock things down.
Sorry I can't be more specific, I wasn't involved at the time, was
just something I remember him talking about.
On another note, I feel your pain as I know what it's like to have
Management make retarded decisions after they play golf with a
Microsoft Sales Rep or whatever...

Hey Chris, Looks like we're in a similar boat. I don't have a massive application, but have to deal with deadly decisions from above.

Re: Sad Question
I tried WAMP and XAMPP, neither work and give me the same errors about not being able to load the Session component in app_controller.php. Check this out though! I am using the most current version of everything and it did not work, so, I downgraded everything and it still does not work. In the end I started to write a new framework of my own. Here's the kicker, I started developing in Eclipse and testing on a Gentoo Linux Apache server. Everything was great. I get home and load up the files off my thumb drive onto my laptop with IIS. Low and behold, errors! Specifically with the require_once directive. So, I change it to include and it started working again. Did some more coding and it was working fine on IIS on Windows Vista. I get back to work and upload my changes to the Apache Linux server and the same errors started coming up about not being able to find files. So, I changed the include to require_once and it worked. I cleared my browser cache and restarted the apache server and changed the require_once to include and it worked fine either way now. Went back to IIS and had to change include to require_once! LOL, wtf!? I can only assume it is now the way the OS's deal with php. Wierd! Bottom line, once you start developing in PHP on Linux or Windows, you have to stick with that OS for production. Keep in mind that this may be a bug and change later but, for now, that's all I can figure out. Also, keep in mind that everything I wrote was straight up php. Another wierd example is, my co-worker made a simple index.php with some includes and a session_start() at the very top. He got an error saying that output headers already started. He told me that he was developing this on his IIS machine at home. So, he got to work, copied his index.php file to the linux server and bam! Errors. He copied and pasted the entire contents into test.php and test.php ran flawlessly. We made sure there were not extra lines at the end of index.php. In the end, we couldn't figure it out so, we just renamed test.php to index.php and it was still fine. Can this be a problem with some type of codepaging? UTF-8 and ASCII or iso-whatever?

Re: Sad Question
How did you port the code over? Did you copy the whole web folder over in one go? This doesn't work (unless both systems are 100% identical). You will get error all over the place because you copied over the cache from the old system and cake (quite rightly) gets confused (files are no- longer where the cache thinks they are). Best way to do it (in my experience) is to install cake on the target machine, copy over your app directory and then delete the cache directory (in app/temp).

Re: Sad Question
To be honest, I just copied everything over the first time and forgot about the tmp dir. After seeing that the Session component was not being loaded from my copy of app_controller, I deleted the cache in the tmp dir and double checked my core.php to make sure I had the Env thing uncommented.

Re: Sad Question
Hi, John. Thanks for the reply and I totally agree with you on this one but, the descision was made based on an idiot in Indiana who already signed and payed 2.5 million to Microsoft to come in and revamp our whole communications network from Great Plains accounting servers to all TV channel and newspapers web sites to be transferred to a server farm in the middle of no-where. The requirement is that the site can easily be copied from our directories to thiers lol! Yes I do need a new job lol! This pays crap especially for California. This company pulls in 175 mil profit a year (this is a subsidary) and I barely make double min wage. It sucks but, it's the only work I can find that deals with computers. The alternative is installing alarm systems for Brinks or something in attics at 120 degrees. Until I finish with my Bachelors, I am stuck. On the error, it seems that once I port over Cake to IIS6, uncomment the correct line in core.php and clean out tmp, it still will not load components and helpers. Some load, some do not. Namely the Session component, Cookie component and the Html helper. Doing some tests in app_controller in the beforeFilter() method, I tried to manually load all sorts of helpers and components. Those in particular stop the site dead in it's tracks. Another peculiar thing, if I uncomment the App.baseUrl config in core.php I get an error about the cake_logger not knowing what LOG_ERROR is, even though it is clearly defined in core.php. (This is from a fresh cake install). I will say this, I am at home right now on my laptop that has Vista and looking at IIS7, I can get a fresh install of cake to work complete with the urls looking like this: index.php?url=/controllers/ controllerMethod/params1 But, when I put my BFS (Big F* Site) up there, I get the same errors about cake not being able to load components, helpers, models and controllers. Works fine on Apache with mod_rewrite, sucks on IIS with nothing. I am also hoping that since, IIS7 has HttpRedirect module built in to it, I can get something going that is sort of like mod_rewrite. /shrug Here's to hoping I can get something going this weekend.

Re: Sad Question
I run Apache plus Cake and Mysql on Windows all the time. And servers are generally Apache on Linux. I change the config file at the start of a new project, sync the rest over during development, and everything just works.
