I've changed it to default to 8080, but you can specify a port on the
command line.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
import tempfile
import commands
def main():
if len(sys.argv) >= 2:
port = int(sys.argv[1])
else:
port = 8080
webroot = os.getcwd()
search = ['src', 'app', 'webroot']
for i in range(len(['src', 'app', 'webroot'])):
path = os.path.join(*[webroot] + search[i:])
if os.path.exists(path):
webroot = path
break
print "(Using '%s' for server.document-root)" % webroot
fd, config_file = tempfile.mkstemp()
f = os.fdopen(fd, "w+b")
print >> f, """
server.port = %(port)d
server.document-root = "%(webroot)s"
server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_cgi" )
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"
server.dir-listing = "enable"
index-file.names = (
"index.php", "index.htm", "index.html" )
cgi.assign = ( ".php" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi" )
url.rewrite = (
"^/((css|files|img|js|test\.php).*)" => "$0",
"^/(.*)" => "/index.php?url=$1"
)
""" % { 'port' : port, 'webroot' : webroot }
f.close()
try:
print "Starting lighttpd at http://localhost:%d/"; % port
cmd = "/usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f %s" % config_file
status, output = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
print output

Regarding upload, I use the bzr revision control system for my projects
and it's "push" command works well for uploading to a server.
I usually have GNU Make 'Makefiles' which reset permissions and
purge /app/tmp for me too. These are easily mastered - they are basically
shell scripts with built-in targets.
It is also possible to upload your packages as a .deb or .rpm, but I have
only tried the former.

Well, Debian and Ubuntu now have the 1.1.x.x branch of CakePHP as a
package which is easy to install. I am preparing a 1.2.x.x package too,
which I will upload when I have ironed out a few problems.
