Can work in any sub-directory, with little or no need to change any Apache configuration

(2) configuration Development

Download CakePHP from http://cakephp.org/. the latest version is 1.2.3.8166.

Download and decompress the package to the root directory of the server, for example,/wwwroot/first_app. You can change the root directory to direct to first_app \ app \ webroot, for example, DocumentRoot "D: \ PHP \ wwwroot \ first_app \ app \ webroot"
Restart the apache service. Browse: http: // localhost/

If you see the same page, your Apache service configuration is correct. At the same time, you can see the four prompts on the page, yellow is what you must configure.
The configuration is as follows:
1. Find configure: Write ('Security. salt', 'dyhg93b0qyjfixfs2guvouubwwvnir21_fgac9mi ') in first_app \ app \ config \ core. php ');
You can change the subsequent keys to about 40 strings.
2. Change the file name first_app \ app \ config \ database. php. Default to database. php. Change the database connection to delete the test configuration. The final configuration is as follows:
Class database_config {

VaR $ default = array (
'Driver '=> 'mysql ',
'Persistent' => false,
'Host' => 'localhost ',
'Login' => 'root ',
'Password' => 'sa ',
'Database' => 'test ',
'Prefix' => '',
);
}

3. If first_app \ app \ TMP is not writable, you must change it to writable.

Save the changes and browse http: // localhost/again. You will find that the above yellow prompt turns green.

 

4. Route configuration. This is the key to ensuring the correct configuration.
Routing is used to map URL and controller action
Default URL style route:
Http://example.com/controller/action/param1/param2/param3

Modify httpd. conf to enable mod_rewrite

1 remove # Before loadmodule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

2. Change AllowOverride none to AllowOverride all.

For example:

<Directory/>
Options followsymlinks
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
In the preceding example, the directory of all websites is set to AllowOverride all. If it is set to all, the apache service controls the route by using. htaccess and sets it to none. routes in the directory. htaccess are not processed.

You can specify a separate directory for routing. You must add the directory to be specified in <directory>. For example:

<Directory "D:/PHP/wwwroot/first_app">
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

Restart the apache service after changing httpd. conf.
