Installing cakephp on a subdomain on my development server
I apologize for asking, but I can't seem to get this working despite some googling. I just installed cakephp on a subdirectory on my xampp development server, and am attempting to go through the IBM tutorial here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-php-cake1/index.html to give myself a feel for it. However, when I try to process the form at http://127.0.0.1/cakephp/users/register from the third page of the tutorial, I get a 404 error that apache can't find my page at http://127.0.0.1/users/register. I assume this means that there's a trick to installing on a subdomain that I haven't found, though I suppose it's also possible that something about the tutorial is simply outdated. Any help would be appreciated. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Installing cakephp on a subdomain on my development server
Check the web page code that cakephp generates and check the form submit address, maybe its the link or a bad misconfiguration on the core. aad On 9 mar, 18:25, Gillian gillian@gmail.com wrote: I apologize for asking, but I can't seem to get this working despite some googling.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
There are many different server configurations and I too have had problems installing cakephp. I guess the first step would be to see if php is working. You could do that by placing a php file there with the code ?php phpinfo(); ?. That should print out a bunch of your php settings. If you httpdocs is your webroot for the subdomain and you placed the cakephp files directly into the httpdocs folder, then the directory structure would look something like httpdocs/app for the app root. Then, assuming that the mod_rewrite module is enabled in apache, you should be able to just go to http://dev.domain.com and cake should appear. This requires that the .htaccess files be there. If you cannot see them, it may be because files that begin with . are hidden by default in osx so you wouldn't be able to see them in your ftp client unless you adjust your settings. If the apache mod_rewrite module is not enabled (you can check that with the test php file created earlier), then the url should be something like http://dev.domain.com/index.php/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
Sorry to hear you are having problems, but your description of your problem doesn't really help us to help you. Can you be more specific as to what is going on? If you want pretty urls you will have mod_rewrite installed for apache and then upload the .htaccess files if in fact they aren't uploaded, by default *nix based operating systems don't display . (dot) files. More information and we might be able to help. -Erik On May 13, 3:15 pm, jonknee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There is no difference, subdomains aren't special (www or dev, it's all the same code wise). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
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. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
as jonknee said, it's not a cake issue, your web server is not configured properly to run PHP; check the PHP manual for instructions to properly configure PHP in whatever environment you're using for your server On May 14, 8:45 am, onajide [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you but, I thought my explanation was clear.

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.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
there's not really anything to install; getting the Save As... window when you try and access a PHP file has nothing to do with Cake On May 14, 4:23 pm, onajide [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh?

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. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
one thing that happened to someone I know recently on their shared host was a recent upgrade to webmin caused the folder permissions to be wedged in the new virtual host folders that were created, causing all kinds of problems with include and require calls in php Sam D On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 2:47 PM, jonknee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh?

Re: installing cakephp on a subdomain
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.

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. He is incorrect. Correctly configured PHP will never (and I mean never) offer up source code for a .php file. The problem most likely lies in Apache, which is not putting the file through PHP, but it falls under PHP configuration to make sure it's functioning through the server environment. And as has been said before, there is no real installing for CakePHP. It's PHP so by nature is dynamically loaded on requests. You just drop in the files and load the page. At most you have to set a few paths. This method has some pros and cons, but it definitely makes deployment easy. You'll find that out soon enough though, as soon as PHP works for you it should be easy to get CakePHP rolling. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

installing cakephp on a subdomain
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? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.
