First of all: Thank you guys for the responses! I really appreciate! :) The problem is now fixed (on Windows)!
The problem was I installed PHP using a windows installer and when asked to install the extensions I never installed them. So, in order to PHP connect to MySQL it needs the mysql extension. I was able to find this out when, without using cake, I was trying to make PHP connect to mysql. When trying that, there was no errors, just a blank screen, but I knew it was not able to connect. So, after installing the php-mysql extension, I was able to connect and cake was able to access the database. I was really a stupid mistake but I believed it was a CakePHP problem because of that page that, when not able to connect o mysql, was loosing all it styles. And I'm sorry for the delay on writing this reply to you guys. I really appreciate the help! :) Unfortunatelly I'm not able to make this work on Linux (Ubuntu). I have the mysql extension installed but PHP is not able to connect to the database. But this is not a CakePHP problem. I'm going to search a little more about this problem. Thanks again! I really appreciate all the help! :) On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 5:59 AM, Fran Iglesias <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi > > El 21/01/2010, a las 23:44, Lucas Loss escribió: > > > 4.
