I want to learn CakePHP to add functions to our website (northbreeze.com). My PHP/MySQL experience is limited to a site search function I wrote some time ago. A long time interest in Smalltalk led me to Ruby on Rails. One good look at that led me to try CakePHP.
I've just installed XAMPP on my XP box and I'm trying to connect at http://localhost/cake/ When the MySQL service is stopped I get this message: CakePHP Rapid Development Your database configuration file is present. Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\cake\libs \model\dbo\dbo_mysql.php on line 100 Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL- Link resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\cake\libs\model\dbo \dbo_mysql.php on line 105 Cake is not able to connect to the database. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the MySQL service is running I get this message: CakePHP Rapid Development Your database configuration file is present.
