Re: how to run simple cake php program using xampp

Hi,

1. Point a virtual host to your web folder in xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ##ServerAdmin postmaster@dummy-host2.localhost

    DocumentRoot "PATH/TO/YOUR/CAKEPHP/ROOT"

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    AccessFileName .htaccess

    ServerName #MYDOMAIN#

    ServerAlias #MYDOMAIN#

    <Directory " PATH/TO/YOUR/CAKEPHP/ROOT ">

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "logs/#SOMETHING#/error.log"

    CustomLog "logs/ #SOMETHING# /custom.log" combined

</VirtualHost>

2. Create a copy of app\Config\database.php.default and rename it to database.php then set up your DB configuration. For instance:

<?php

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

public $default = array(

'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',

'persistent' => false,

'host' => 'localhost',

'login' => 'root',

'password' => 'securepassword',

'database' => 'myhugedatabase',

);

}

3. Then start xampp and open localhost in a browser. You should see the cake php default start page.

If you rather use some custom domain name instead of localhost you can define it in your local DNS file which is located in:

c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts 

You must edit this as system administrator and the syntax is as follows:

127.0.0.1    #MYDOMAIN#

Now you can enter  #MYDOMAIN# to your brower and you should see the same default start page as I mentioned above.

Hope this will solve your problem.
