Still working on CAKE install uner xampp
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?

Re: Need help on Install
Also, replying to RichardAtHome, CAKE's installation instructions tell us to: 3.3.1 Development a.. Just place your cake install inside your web server's document root. For example, assuming your web server's document root is /var/www/html, a development setup would look like this on the filesystem: a.. /var/www/html Also, what is this? It is totally meaningless to me. My web server is apache and has nothing that looks like this on XP. a.. /cake_1_2 a.. /app b.. /cake c.. /docs d.. /index.php e.. /vendors To see your CakePHP application, point your web browser to http://www.example.com/cake_1_2/ If we cannot use http://www.example.com why are they telling us to use it?

Re: Need help on Install
Ooopps! It was a false positive. What I actually accidentally got up and running was http://myexample.com http://www.example.com and http://www.example.com/cake_1.1.19.6305/ are still not working. However, on the positive side, http://localhost/cake_1.1.19.6305/ is working and I have a CAKE RAPID DEVELOPMENT screen telling me It found my database config file and that cake is able to connect to my database. But can someone tell me what I am supposed to see when http://www.example.com starts to work?
