I am very new to CakePHP and want to know how to install it. Also, can you tell me if the installation process is similar to Joomla! installation. Does CakePHP have an administration interface?
cakephp has administration options. Please put the whole installation in the apps folder on your web-server. Point your browser to the folder i.e. If using a local server, 127.0.0.1/index.php/
Follow the instructions shown.
If you need a cakephp based cms you can use croogo
On Windows:
In xampp the public directory is httdocs. There you copy the cake directory. In the webbrowser you call it with "http://localhost/[your_cakedirectory]" ...
You have to read the sections of installations in the cookbook.

I am trying to make test environment for my cake project however the migration from php 5.X to 7.1.0 proves to be a nuisance.
I have succesfully installed a new fresh apache2.4 vc14 x64 bit installation.
This apache installation uses a fresh PHP vc14 x64 7.1.0 installation. Both have been checked and are indeed working perfectly.
Now the problem:
I have a cakephp product using a shared created library in the plugins folder, this was working perfectly in CakePHP 2.8.5 using php 5.x. This plugin is loaded in the bootstrap and used the way cakephp intends us to. However the moment i try to run the old project in the fresh installation it is suddenly unable the load the plugin files. Again everything is loaded in the bootstrap and usage has not been changed whilst moving the content to its new location. I have checked a fresh cakephp installation in the new environment and this is also working splenditly.
I am quite baffled at the moment has anyone having experience using cakephp encoutered this particular problem feel free to fire away with some ideas as to what i might have missed.
i will show some code how everything is loaded and used.
CakePlugin::Load('RemFlex');
<?php echo $this->Html->css('RemFlex.flexdetail'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('RemFlex.flexportal'); ?>
the plugin directory looks like this
Cakephp_program
-App
-Plugin
-RemFlex
-webroot
-js
-Css
-Controller
-Vendor
Fixed this problem by enabling the rewrite_module in the httpd.conf file of the apache installation. This enabled my htacces to actually work.
I'm new to CakePHP and my employer asked me to move our CakePHP app from a dedicated server to another server (for testing purposes). I've copied all the files, changed app's database.php config but I'm getting a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when accessing the app on the new server.
I did not work on the app so I don't know much about it, but I have all the files.
LE: So, I've uploaded the app on a fresh install of CakePHP. I now have 3 .htaccess files, CakePHP says it's working, but when I try to upload DebugKit (following the install notes & having the proper version for CakePHP 2.4.3.) I get the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
A look in Chrome's console shows me this. If I delete the DebugKit altogether, the page looks like this & it also has the footer from the app.
The new structure of the app is the standard one.
Please advise!
Best guess is the (apache?) DocumentRoot setting may be clashing with your APP config on the new server and/or the PHP settings. Have you checked your php.ini on the new server? What's the output of phpinfo() ? Once fixed HIGHLY RECOMMEND check other environment variables by turning on the DEBUG flag in config/app.php For your version try pr(Debugger::trace()); or even better for dev. install the Debug kit. Anyway, DocumentRoot should be set to webroot (assuming default install and directory structure).
I'm trying to do some cakePHP development using my existing homestead
installation I use for Laravel.
I can get the application running but it says that
'URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server.'
I tried to use the instructions to configure nginx but did not have much luck.
Has anyone gotten url rewriting to work, or can point me at any sources?
I know their is a vagrant setup for cakephp, but I'd rather continue to use homestead if possible.
SSH into your Homestead VM.
Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/your-site.app and add /webroot to the line that looks like: root "/home/vagrant/your-site"; so that it looks like root "/home/vagrant/your-site/webroot";
Restart nginx with: sudo service nginx restart
Your should find your CakePHP pages can find their static content.
I don't know much about homestead, other than it is a vagrant box. I would suggest using a box that was tailored for cakephp:

This is an article on how to get that set up correctly:

Could someone please explain to me, how do I get Agile Toolkit up and running ? I've cloned atk4 repository to my machine, moved it to my MAMP's webroot. When I access it from my browser http://localhost/my_app I see 403 error.
Does it mean there's no installation file ? And everything has to be setup via some *.cfg file ? Can't find a proper tutorial on how to do so.
Or there's an installation process just like in other frameworks and it's just my MAMP is not configured correctly ?
EDIT:
Sorry, I guess I had a wrong downloaded archive. Solved.
I'm an author of Agile Toolkit and for the convenience of the new users, I'm now packaging 4.3 into an archive with installer.
Go to http://www4.agiletoolkit.org/ and click download.
There seem to be some hiccups with Windows install which I'm trying to address. Please discuss any problems in this group:

I have a drupal installation running on OpenShift. I have been installing all modules and themes using git (commandline). However, I attempted to install the modules directly and the installation worked.
The problem that I now face is that when I attempt a pull request all I get is the modules and themes I had installed using the commandine and not the ones that I installed 'directly'.
Any one with a heads up on this?
OpenShift runs your code form a checkout of the git repository located at ~/app-root/repo within your gear. When you upload files using Drupal (instead of the git repository), the modules and themes are installed in this checked out directory and are not tracked in git.
I you are using a scaled application, I would recommend that copy the modules/themes and check them into git instead of the Drupal install method.
For now, to retrieve all your files you can try the rhc export command.
Thanks to #kraman above I got a hint of what to do.
I ran rhc snapshot save -a appname and got all the files. At least I know where to start off from since I can access the files.
A word of caution though for drupal users on openshift, just use git or sftp for pushing files and save yourself the headache.
