I am "trying" to get through the "Cook up Web sites fast with CakePHP"
tutorial at IBM's website. I have created the initial database, the
model, the view and the controller. I am at the part where I am
testing it for the first time. I have the CakePHP install installed in
a directory called "cake" in my webroot. So in the case of the example
to test the registration I use 'localhost/cake/users/register' which
takes me to the registration form. I then fill out the form and click
the "register" button. But the controller returns me to 'localhost/
users/register' which of course gives me a "page not found" error. I
can see what the problem is but I am not sure what to do to fix it.
The controller looks like this:
<?php
class UsersController extends AppController {
function register() {
if (!empty($this->params['form'])) {
if ($this->User->save($this->params['form'])) {
$this->flash('Your registration information was
accepted.', '/users/register');
}
else {
$this->flash('There was a problem with your
registration', '/users/register');
}
}
}
}
?>
Now I know that I could change the directories to '/cake/users/
register', but it seems that there should be a way for Cake to pickup
the directory that it is installed in and insert it (since it is
already inserting the URL just to get to the 'users' subdirectory. Or
is it assumed that you will always have everything that is in the
initial install folder directly in the document root? I didn't find a
config file that I could specify the initial directory for CakePHP. I
hope I am making sense. My understanding was that I could simply unzip
the CakePHP files into my web root and rename that initial directory
anything (which I renamed to simply 'cake' instead of 'cake1.00etc.').
Sorry for such a stupid beginner question.
