cakephp newbie problem
« on: November 03, 2009, 01:39:20 AM »
I have extracted cake_1.2.5.tar.bz2 to /var/www and renamed it to cakephp .
Now how would i start to develop a project with cakephp?
I'm also reading this:http://book.cakephp.org/view/15/Controller-Extensions-Components but can't understand how to start with this.

Can someone guide me to start?

If the directory /var/www is refering to your localhost then I think you should start by setting up a virtual host.

I would start here http://book.cakephp.org/view/32/Installation

If you installed to your root web directory, you should be able to open http://localhost and see the cake welcome screen.
