Help with advanced installation (paths/server setup)

2009-09-26 Thread number9
I basically want to share the app and cake folder of an application, so that the only thing that needs to be uploaded for a new instance of the app is the webroot folder. To complicate matters slightly caching is utilised, so the tmp folder needs to be moved to the webroot (as well as the config f

Once the local testing is done, how would the actual production site be configured? can the cakephp libs/core be hidden one directory above the www on the production servers? on a related note, are there any disadvantages of the cakephp libs/ core being placed one directory above the public_html

I'm new to CakePHP - ready to learn it - so I'm trying to set it up on a shared hosting account. currently, when I log into my account via FTP, i get into one level above the public_html (webroot). I'd like to put the CakePHP libraries/framework there... and all of the site's stuff (i.e. "apps/v
