Hi Brendon, I appreciate your help. I am under the impression that it's not just the jake.ini configuration problem. I tried the latest cakephp version and it works like a charm. But using exactly the same configuration file, while using the script I mentioned written in an earlier version of cake 1.2, I am having the problem. So, I guess either between the two versions, there has been something leading to the problem, or it is the application-building process broke some connections. I thought that the building of the application will not break the relationship between jake and cake, since it should not touch the cake core, but I may well be wrong. But that was the reason I suspected it was the version difference. I am not trying to talk you into guiding me through the upgrading process, I am just trying to identify my problem. Is there a way I can get a cakephp 1.2.0.5427alpha version, so that I can try and see whether it is application-related or version-related? I searched online for long time and found nowhere to download such earlier version of cakephp. Do you have any resources, maybe a backup of earlier files? Again, thanks so much and have a good one!
