I am really new to CAKEPhP so need some assistance. I used to work in Codeigniter before where i used to set the base_url and it set up all the paths. Recently i downloaded a website that is made in cakephp. Placed it in folder in htdocs named as abc. Configured all the database stuff. Now when i try run it on localhost, it seems that everything is pointing to the root folder. Here is the snapshot of the missing file errors i receive in console.
Any idea where i can set the base_url thing in cakephp so that it can start pointing to right folder?
Thanks.
App.imageBaseUrl
Web path to the public images directory under webroot. If you are using a CDN you should set this value to the CDN’s location.

Hi I have my website which its my resume and now I want to show the project that I have done one of my project is laravel and I move it to: public_html/laravel
and also move my DB to there but I get this error:
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /laravel/ on this server.
I don't understand is it because of I didn't put files on main public_html and move it to folder or other stuff I also changes(i don't know if its right) change config/database.php mysql part to database configuration but I keep getting this error
Laravel server files from the public/ directory. So try a URL like this instead:
http://example.com/laravel/public
If that works, you'll need to move some files around a bit. This should help with moving things around:
How to change public folder to public_html in laravel 5
If you use shared hosting then please do not uplaod whole laravel application to the publitc_html folder. You have to upload your all application at global document root for your domain like home/yourdomainand you have to rename existing public_html folder to any name and rename laravel public folder to public_html and try again. See the image below:
Can anyone help me,
i developed my application with Cakephp 2.1, and it works fine on my development server running Centos 5.7. My challenge came when i transfer my application to the lice server to be accessed by on LAN. It states that a missing controller which is not available in my whole application, for example, i named my folder which contains my application and uploaded to the correct folder in Centos, e.g /var/www/html/students and every time i need to access the application states that students controller is missing. I tried to rename my folder to 'mysite' and the errors still remain with mysite controller is missing.
So everytime i changed the name of the folder it states a missing controller for that named folder. I tried to figure out in core.php but cant find the solution.
To change the base directory to say /mysite you will have to modify your 3 .htaccess of cakephp i.e one in installlation folder , second inside the app folder,third inside the webroot folder
try adding:-
RewriteBase /mysite/
Hope this helps!
If you setup your document root as C:\xampp\htdocs\ and you create a project folder named "ProjectX" where you include all your project files and folders and subfolders, how are you going to make your project runnable with url "http://localhost/projectx" ? I would like to learn how your config and routes files you included in your projects are changed ?
you can refer below link
http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/view/912/Installation
cheers
I would not run them as "localhost".
If you link css/js/img absolute to the / root, you will run into problems later on your life server.
it is always best to use virtual hosts and simulate the "real life" on your system:
http://www.dereuromark.de/2011/05/29/working-with-domains-locally/
You can create a folder projectx in C:\xampp\htdocs\
Then copy all the CakePHP files in C:\xampp\htdocs\projectx\ (including .htaccess, app\, lib\ and all. Setup the salt, cypher, db files and you should be able to access it through http://localhost/projectx/
On my local setup I have a load of different CakePHP websites. I'm using a Mac so the folder structure is something like ~/Users/cameron/Sites/sample-website and then within each of these websites I will have the typical Cake folder and App folder.
What I would like to do is have just a core cake folder and then have ALL the sites pull from that one cake core so I don't have the same stuff several times over. I have been reading some tutorials on the web: http://rickguyer.com/cakephp-one-core-many-apps/
So I have my cake folder here: ~/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/ and then my site here: ~/Users/cameron/Sites/sample-site/ and in this folder I have the usual app folder and htaccess to tell it where to find webroot etc.
Now I have edited the index.php file inside webroot like the tutorial BUT have only changed one line because I haven't moved my files OUTSIDE of the App folder like he does. So the only like I have changed is as follows:
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH'))
{
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', '..'.DS.'..'.DS.'cake-1.3');
}
As far as I can tell that is correctly looking two directories up and finding a folder called cake-1.3 however it just gives a error 500?
Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks
EDIT:
Even doing this doesn't work???
Which If I echo: echo CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH; gives /Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3 and if I paste that in the address bar it loads up the cake folder so it's definitely the correct folder structure JUST it doesn't like looking at cake outside of the main url?
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH'))
{
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'Users'.DS.'cameron'.DS.'Sites'.DS.'cake-1.3'); echo CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH;
}
You are right on the money with:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'Users'.DS.'cameron'.DS.'Sites'.DS.'cake-1.3');
Just make sure that Users sits in root. In other words, when you go to terminal you can get to this directory by typing: cd /Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3
It looks like you may be on a MAC. If so, your linking is correct. Most of the time what I find is you have done a copy paste of the app directory and it does not get the .htaccess files. I would check those first. But here is a comprehensive list of what you should verify:
Make sure the host is pointing to
the correct directory
(/Users/cameron/Sites/sample-site/)
Verify mod_rewrite is in fact on.
Verify you have copied the .htaccess
file in both the
/Users/cameron/Sites/sample-site/
and the
/Users/cameron/Sites/sample-site/webroot
directories.
Confirm that the
/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/
directory has a directory called
cake in it that contains the core.
Once all of this is confirmed, you will be good as gold!
Happy Coding!
UPDATE:
When the index.php file looks for the cake core, it will look for a directory inside the location you are pointing to for another directory called cake. So in your case:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'Users'.DS.'cameron'.DS.'Sites'.DS.'cake-1.3');
You must have the cake directory inside /Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3. Your directory structure will look like:
/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/cake
/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/cake/libs
/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/cake/config
/Users/cameron/Sites/cake-1.3/cake/console
etc.
CakePHP 3.0+
In CakePHP 3.0+ this configuration is moved out of webroot/index.php to App/Config/paths.php
If you have access to your php.ini, you can add the path to Cake core there. Doing it this way means you don't have to change webroot/index.php at all. Example in php.ini:
include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/something/phpinc/cakephp2/lib"
According to the CakePHP 2.x docs, this is the recommended way to share the Cake core (assuming you have access to your php.ini).
You can have only one cake core but you must have one app folder (containing MVC) by site.
Is this a misunderstanding of the folder structure of CakePHP?
From the docs (CakePHP folder structure):
The app folder will be where you work your magic: it’s where your application’s files will be placed.
The cake folder is where we’ve worked our magic. Make a personal commitment not to edit files in this folder. We can’t help you if you’ve modified the core.
So the cake folder shouldn't change between all of your uses, therefore you have 1 copy. You can always change some of the functionality of the core by making your own changes in the app folder i.e. extending.
There is no need to edit index.php.
Just put an alias (or link in UNIX) to your cake folder in each of your sites folder. Works perfectly. Same goes for plugins and vendors folder.
I have installed zend framework on my local machine. I have configured a vhost in httpd.conf and have added a line in my hosts file (127.0.0.1 mysite). I am running windows 7. Everything works perfect. The problem is when i upload on a hosting server the paths get mixed up.
I am uploading on a remote dir called zf-framework. To access the index page i need to type this url: http://mysite/zf-framework/public. It displays the index page but when i press any links on the page they get mixed up and end up being something like http://mysite/controller/action when in fact it should be http://mysite/zf-framework/public/controller/action. I have found a work-around for this situation...to use echo $this->baseUrl(link) for any links i have in the layout.phtml. The problem is more serious when it comes to submitting forms. I can't use baseUrl there....or i don't know how to use it. Is there a way to write some general config stuff so that this could be automatically resolved by the framework. Let's say to write something in index.php or bootstrap.php that will fix the paths automatically?
If you're using Zend_Application, then add the following to your configs/application.ini file.
resources.frontController.baseUrl = "/your-path-here"
If you're not using Zend_Application, then do this in your bootstrap, or index.php file.
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->setBaseUrl('/your-path-here');
You won't have to use $this->baseUrl() when submitting a form to the same action and controller (just leave out the action attribute in the form tag), or when using the Redirector action helper. However, links in your view scripts will require you to $this->baseUrl('/url-without-base'), which doesn't seem too bad to me.
I am not 100% on this, but if you specify the route in your routes.ini as zf-framework/public/Controller/Action etc this should fix your issue.
I would see this as a bandaid, but I am not 100% sure on how to properly fix your issue other then you modifying the vhosts file on the remote server to set a document root to the public folder. If that is not an option, well the above should work, but know that all of your files are potentially accessible from everyone (at least your folder structure). I am not sure what harm this can do (if any) other then if your database schema is in the /data directory.
It is better to try and get the public set as the web root, if possible.
