Re: Very Frustrated - No help for newbies !!!!
Hi Everyone, Thanks for the responses and sorry for delay in getting back. I certainly didn't mean to rock the boat and apologies if I came over as being a bit heavy... Larry, I certainly was NOT the person who was abusive in the IRC. I will get back to things in the next day or so and work more closely through the suggestions as I have time. And I will certainly document my findings and contribute them if they are of any help to future newbies... I'll be back with my findings. regards, Dave Porter --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Also, if you want to look at a hosting setup that supports PHP, MySQL, Rails (if you choose), and various other things http://dreamhost.com is a great host that allows for commad line SSH access. I am doing my development and most of my deployment on their servers and have had 0 problems with Cake.Something like this would allow you to not have to worry about apache configuration on your local machine.

Re: Very Frustrated - No help for newbies !!!!
Another wiki page that references configuration for XAMPPhttp://wiki.cakephp.org/faq:how_do_i_set_up_mod_rewriteIt relates to virtual hosts but the configuration suggestions there might help you key in on the root of the problem.

Re: Very Frustrated - No help for newbies !!!!
Dave, I'm relatively new to cake and had a difficult time setting it up as well. As you said, irc is undoubtedly useless for in depth questions or serious help. Your best bet for help is this group. If you can outline your webserver directory structure relevant to cake and any changes you've made to configuration files, I'll try to help you out.

Re: Very Frustrated - No help for newbies !!!!
Dave,If you are one of the people who come to IRC and expect everyone to drop what there doing and answer your question in 30 seconds, good luck. I am personally on the IRC almost 24 hrs a day, today I have not been since I have been trying to get a wireless network running. So my advice be patient first.And if you are the same person that came online and asked a question, did not get a reply right away then said F*** it and left the IRC, and I sent you a PM telling you that help is there in the IRC you have to be patient, I would prefer not to help you for your attitude and lack of respect for my time, and others who offer help to people in IRC for free. -- /*** @author Larry E.

Re: Very Frustrated - No help for newbies !!!!
I'm using XAMPP on Windows XP Pro. It's in c:\web\xampp. Here's part of my httpd.conf file: # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # Directory C:/web/xampp/htdocs # # Possible values for the Options directive are None, All, # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI Multiviews # # Note that MultiViews must be named *explicitly* --- Options All # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl # ReadmeName footer.html # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be All, None, or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Also, make sure to uncomment this line: #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so After doing that, restart apache. That should do it for you. If not, post back and I'll try to get you more information tomorrow.
