You shouldn't need to change a single file for Cake to work (to see the default "cake has been installed" page). For your application to work, you will need to provide the appropriate database connection details (/app/config/database.php), and set a unique session key (/app/ config/core.php). There is no need to change any other files, unless you - are using a non-standard folder structure - don't have mod_rewrite enabled - are using an apache alias rather than setting your document root to the /app/webroot folder
none of which are recommended. On Dec 18, 12:42 am, indy50 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for your help.
