CakePHP: Configuration

CakePHP uses the /app/tmp directory for a number of different operations. Model descriptions, cached views, and session information are just a few examples.

Make sure the /app/tmp directory and all subdirectories in the Cake installation are writable by the web server user (apache).

chown -R apache /app/tmp

The Security seeds need to be set for uniqueness. Edit /app/config/core.php Comment out the following lines, duplicate them and change their values:

Configure::write('Security.salt', 'DYhG93b0qyJfIxfs2guVoUubWwvniR2G0FgaC9mi');
Configure::write('Security.cipherSeed', '76859309657453542496749683645');

Upload file.

Create site database in MySQL.

Copy /app/config/database.php.default to /app/config/database.php

Edit /app/config/database.php Change values for 'host', 'login', 'password', and 'database' to match your database configuration.

Save and upload the file and test by browsing to the root page.
