Just wanted to drop a note to the group and cakePHP team. I have been reading up on Ruby on Rails and have been really enticed by the "programming pain" it promised to lessen, but I have not had the time or energy to learn Ruby enough to be comfortable using the framework.
Along comes cakePHP and I was stoked. I jumped right in, have been able to IMMEDIATELY leverage my PHP experience and enjoy the MVC framework. I just deployed my first cakePHP site and it was so much fun to develop in. When I was done developing it locally, I literally uploaded it to the host and was done. Then I started wondering about Ruby on Rails AGAIN (it's hard to ignore with all the smart people working on it and all the hype out there). So I decided to dive in and just develop my next project with it and "learn as I go". After getting a rough version of the site done and working locally I tried to deploy it on my DreamHost account and have spent TWO DAYS trying to get it to even load up the Rails app. I get into reading about others having similar issues and how you have to do FastCGI tweaks here and use special domain control settings there, all the while getting plagued by 500 errors and vague Rails error messages. I think Ruby is a great language. I think Rails is a great framework. But for me, the pain of deployment onto client shared server accounts is a deal breaker. So, its back to cakePHP as my framework of choice. Thanks cakePHP team. This is a great product you are putting out.
