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

Well, I prefer using WAMP 1.5 than XAMPP. In WAMP, it is just dropping CAKE in the document root. Give it a try... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group. To post to this group, send ema

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
