I'm working on a project which only a few packages of cake 3 :
cakephp/orm
cakephp/validation
cakephp/i18n
cakephp/cache
I just installed the last one (cache).
I uploaded my project to a production server, and was surprised to see that my queries using the ORM are extremely slow (a query that lasts about 100ms on my local machine can take up to 5 or 10 seconds on the production server).
It seems that there are queries on the information_schema table that take much time and resources. So I've went on the web and saw that I needed the enable cacheMetaData param in my config.
My config looks like this :
ConnectionManager::config('default', [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
'host' => 'my-host',
'database' => 'my-database',
'username' => 'my-username',
'password' => 'my-password',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetaData' => true // If set to `true` you need to install the optional "cakephp/cache" package.
]);
I followed the instruction above and installed the cakephp/cache package. But I'm guessing I need to enable it somehow (or somewhere), but can't figure out how (or where).
Here is what I tried :
\Cake\Cache\Cache::config('_cake_model_', [
'className' => 'File',
'prefix' => 'myapp_cake_model_',
'path' => '/cache/models/',
'serialize' => true,
'duration' => '+2 minutes',
]);
But it's still not working, my cache or cache/models/ folder is still empty and the requests are taking a long time.
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your time

Upgraded CakePHP from 3.5 -> 3.6 -> 3.7. The error message, Property _transportConfig does not exist, is displayed as soon as the application starts in the browser.
Email Transport config in app.php
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Smtp',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'username' => '*******#gmail.com',
'password' => '********************',
'log' => true,
'tls' => true
],
],
I've found some information in the migration guide, here is a solution that may work;
First, you need to add this to your bootstrap file
use Cake\Mailer\TransportFactory;
then replace
Email::setConfigTransport(Configure::consume('EmailTransport'));
by
TransportFactory::setConfig(Configure::consume('EmailTransport'));
finally you might consider updating the debugger via composer :
λ composer require --update-with-dependencies "cakephp/debug_kit"
Might not be the best way to, but it worked for me!
I have two database connections. One for my application and another for testing.
In my ..\config\database.php
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
'testing' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_TEST_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_TEST_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_TEST_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_TEST_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
I am able to change the database connection in seeding using
php artisan db:seed --database=testing
I wanted to use tinker for the connection 'testing' but unable to change it. Is there any way to change the database connection for tinker similar with database seeding?
As your question starts with using one database for testing/development and one for production, you should look into using different environments, this will allow you to have no change in your code between deployment & local testing.
This task can easily be achieved by specifying your environment:
php artisan tinker --env=local
By default, if you specify no --env, you will be using /your-app/.env
When using local you read variables from /your-app/.env.local
For your specific use case:
php artisan db:seed --env=local
Further reading for Laravel 5.1: https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/configuration
Latest version: https://laravel.com/docs/configuration
NB: You should avoid checking in the ".env" file to VCS, the .env.local should be OK to share, but it is best practice to not bundle production credentials with your VCS.
To set the default database connection to 'mysql_test' from within tinker I use this command:
>>> use DB
>>> DB::setDefaultConnection('mysql_test');
It is especially useful when you want to test your migrations and seeders without messing up your existing (working) local database.
Change default connection
$model_instance = new App\YourModel();
$model_instance->setConnection('new_connection');
$data = $model_instance->find(1);
I am using Cakephp 3 and MSSQLSRV 2014. I made all the necessary changes to connect to MSSQL server. In GUI, I can see that cakephp can connect to MSSQL. Please see the below screenshot.
So now when I go to bin directory to bake the application, I get below error unable to load MSSQL driver, which is already installed:
Here are my datasource settings in app.php file:
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Sqlserver',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost\SQLEXPRESS',
/**
* CakePHP will use the default DB port based on the driver selected
* MySQL on MAMP uses port 8889, MAMP users will want to uncomment
* the following line and set the port accordingly
*/
'port' => '1433',
'username' => 'sa',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'ServerMatrix',
'encoding' => 65001,
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'log' => false,
I am thinking its probably a bug that should be reported to CakePHP community, but wanted to get some help from stack-overflow community to see if they have encountered such issue.
In command line interface typed php --ini and opened loaded php.ini file and added SQLSrv extensions. That solved the problem for baking an application.
Thanks to #ndm.
I'm confused about all the requirements to get cakephp 2.x to talk to MSSQL (2k8R2). I'm running debian squeeze and installed php5-sybase.
I'd be using this as a second datasource defined as
public $qadb = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Sqlserver',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',
'login' => 'myuser',
'password' => 'mypass',
'database' => 'mydb',
'prefix' => '',
//'encoding' => 'utf8',
);
When I'm trying to run cake bake with this datasource I get
Error: Database connection "Sqlserver" is missing, or could not be created.
I looked at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlsrv.php which references installing ODBC for linux, but I thought the sybase package would take care of what I need. Any further info anyone has on this would be appreciated.
I'm developing a CakePHP 2.2 site locally with MAMP. Every so often, I get one or more warnings similar to this, about not being able to write to one or more cache files:
Warning: SplFileInfo::openFile(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite/www/app/tmp/cache/persistent/myapp_cake_core_cake_console_en-au): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite/www/lib/Cake/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php on line 313
The weird thing is, /tmp is 777, tmp/cache is 777, and tmp/cache/persistent is 777 (don't worry... it won't be 777 on the server!). The file itself inside tmp/cache/persistent is 644 - but I assume Cake is creating and managing that file, and does so with the permissions it needs.
If I just refresh the page, the error goes away (and then re-appears sometime later). I'm not doing any explicit caching, so this stuff is just Cake doing whatever it automatically does.
So my question is:
a) How does this automatic caching of Cake's work? Is it trying to write to that file on every page refresh, and failing only once in a while? Or is it only trying to write to that file once in a while, but failing every time it tries?
b) If it's only failing only once in a while, can I safely just ignore it? And if it's failing every time it tries, how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help!
This happens probably when a process different from Apache create files in the cache. This can be the case for instance when you run shell commands as you probably do it as a different user than apache.
By default the File cache creates files with permissions allowing only the user that has created the files to modify them, but this can be fixed by setting a mask in the Cache config in core.php:
Cache::config('_cake_core_', array(
'engine' => $engine,
'prefix' => 'cake_core_',
'path' => CACHE . 'persistent' . DS,
'serialize' => ($engine === 'File'),
'duration' => $duration,
'mask' => 0666
));
Cache::config('_cake_model_', array(
'engine' => $engine,
'prefix' => 'cake_model_',
'path' => CACHE . 'models' . DS,
'serialize' => ($engine === 'File'),
'duration' => $duration,
'mask' => 0666
));
If you want to avoid giving read/write access to the "other" group, check out my other solution here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/18703956/385979
Simple really, assuming and you are a sudoer and your user name is martinlutherking
sudo adduser martinlutherking www-data
This way cake console commands can read cache files created by apache2, however you may need to do the inverse group add to ensure that www-data can read cache files created by martinlutherking
Just in case anybody is seeing this and wonders how it works in cakePHP 3.x:
modify /config/app.php and add 'mask' => 0666 to
/**
* Configure the cache adapters.
*/
'Cache' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'File',
'path' => CACHE,
'url' => env('CACHE_DEFAULT_URL', null),
'mask' => 0666
],
and probably you also want to add it to the log files:
/**
* Configures logging options
*/
'Log' => [
'debug' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog',
'path' => LOGS,
'file' => 'debug',
'levels' => ['notice', 'info', 'debug'],
'url' => env('LOG_DEBUG_URL', null),
'mask' => 0666
],
'error' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog',
'path' => LOGS,
'file' => 'error',
'levels' => ['warning', 'error', 'critical', 'alert', 'emergency'],
'url' => env('LOG_ERROR_URL', null),
'mask' => 0666
],
],
