I can change the document root on my web server to serve directly out
of the "cake" directory, but I don't want to as I have other apps that
run on my server. What seems strange is that I went through the
initial setup as described in the manual and connected with the
database just fine. But when I follow the tutorial on IBM's web site
they are essentially recommending that it be set up like:
/document root
/cake
/app
/vendors
.htaccess
index.php
but the cake manual says that this will work
/document root
/cakePHP
/cake
/app
/vendors
But if you look at the "blog" tutorial that is in the CakePHP manual,
it is recommending that the structure be set up the way IBM
recommends. So I guess I am trying to find out what configuration file
needs to be set to serve the cake app's out of their own directories,
without having to program absolute directory structure information
into the controller.
