Getting CakePHP 2.0 to Bake

Question

I'm having some trouble getting the Bake feature of CakePHP 2.0 working.. I think it is down to the way I've got my folder structure set-up, i.e:

htdocs is the site's root, which contains everything normally found in the 'app' folder. The htdocs/webroot/index.php file has had its CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH set as the following:

define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', '..' . DS . '..' . DS . 'cakephp' . DS . 'lib');

I then navigate into the htdocs folder (via putty, it is hosted on a Debian 6 server), and run the following command:

php ../cakephp/lib/Cake/Console/cake.php bake

but based on the fact that the app path listed is "/srv/www/cakeauth.tld.blue/cakephp/app/" rather than what it should be: "/srv/www/cakeauth.tld.blue/htdocs/", means that it doesn't recognise htdocs as an app.

Can anyone help me set this up to run Bake in the correct place? Thank you :)

Answer 1

After checking the Cookbook, I found that you've got the ability to pass an -app parameter when calling bake, which represents the path to the app...

So in my instance, I would run:

php ../cakephp/lib/Cake/Console/cake.php bake -app /srv/www/cakeauth.tld.local/htdocs/

You need to change the APP_DIR constant as well, to 'htdocs'.

It should also be defined in webroot's index.php

example ( 4 win ):

env vars

D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8\;D:\wamp\bin\php\includes\framework_cakephp\Cake\Console;

php.ini

include_path = ".;D:\wamp\bin\php\includes;D:\wamp\bin\php\includes\framework_cakephp;"

cmd:

cake bake
type path to app ( d:\wamp\www\my_app )
d:
cd wamp\www\my_app\Console
cake bake
