Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain

2008-05-14 Thread onajide

Thank you but, I thought my explanation was clear. What do I type
here, my exact steps?

Anyway, I decided to delete the install and start from scratch. A
friend said the files are supposed to be installed in httpdocs. They
were (still are until I delete everything). When you go to the web
page you're asked to download it instead of view it. 
http://dev.miamiwebservers.com

I'll be back here later today after my attempted reinstall I'm sure.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain

Huh? If there has been Cake running on that (shared) box how is it not
configured properly? There was a Cake install on one of my other
domains when we (a friend and myself) decided Cake would solve the
issues set out in front of us. Of course, he installed it as he's the
developer. I'm trying to do this without just asking him to do it
again. I'm trying to be somewhat self-sufficient although, I'm asking
lots of questions, to you and him. Sorry for my indulgence here but, I
need to learn for myself and, if I don't stumble and fall, I won't
know what issues I'll encounter along the way in the future. Thanks
very much.

 You don't have your server properly configured. It's not a CakePHP
 issue. Once you get PHP working, try rolling through the install
 instructions again. You should be able to follow the instructions
 exactly. You are doing a very basic setup and it's definitely covered
 in the manual.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain

2008-05-14 Thread onajide

Thanks but, this is my friend's server and I just talked to him on the
phone. He said that he didn't want to give me total access (to Apache)
because he didn't want me to break his server. I respect that and,
will have to wait a couple of day to have all my domains and client's
domains get transferred to my new box. In the meantime, he says the
box IS configured for PHP correctly but, that I need to hack on it
to get Cake to work properly.

I told him that I would ALWAYS ask before doing something remotely
dangerous to his server and he knows that. I'm always afraid I'll
break something being an ignorant non-programmer. Therefore, I'm just
trying to UNDERSTAND what I'm doing before doing it. Then, when I take
action I'll do the right thing. So far, I haven't broken anything
other than some minor issues, easily resolved.

I don't make any claims about being a developer or programmer but, I
have guided a few people through some install and server issues for
those people that make that claims about themselves being developers
or programmers. If I am doing that then, I figure I can figure out
how to install Cake... with some assistance, of course. And, I thank
every single person that has given me help. Thank you very much.

 Each virtual host on a server can have its own configuration. Because
 PHP is working on one VH does not mean it's a sure bet on another. In
 your case it's definitely not working. If PHP was working and CakePHP
 was not, you would in the very worst case get an error message of some
 kind or a blank screen. If PHP is working there is no way for it to
 send out the source file unless you wrote a program to do do that
 (that would be a huge security issue).

 If you'd like to confirm this, remove the CakePHP stuff and replace
 the index.php contents with ?php phpinfo(); ?. When PHP is working
 you'll see a list of all its options and variables. Until you see that
 page working, you will not be able to use CakePHP or any other PHP
 code/library/framework.

installing cakephp on a subdomain

2008-05-13 Thread onajide

I'm attempting to install cake on the subdomain: http://dev.domain.com.
I'm reading too many contradictory things about what I've done wrong
and what I need to do.

Let's assume I've done nothing except upload the files to the server
(mysql  php5) from my Mac. I did create a DB and changed that in the
indicated file. There are no .htaccess files uploaded that I can see.

I followed the instructions from the Cake manual up to the point of
page 6,7 and have not changed the dir layout. I understand this thing
needs to be hacked in order to work but, I see no models of a dir
layout for a subdomain install. Maybe none exists but, the intall
instructions apparently make assumptions that I'm not familiar with.

Can anyone give a bit of guidance here, please?
