1. download the latest version cakePHP,
2. copy into localhost root file, and I name it as “Blog”
3. There are 3 things need to fix it out:
First is connect to your databases:
A) Database configuration (make sure have a database in your localhost)
B) use NetBeans to open your files,under the App file, under config file, you see a database.php.default,rename it and move .default, and open it
C) here you could set your database, there are class you should change it like this
public $default = array(
‘datasource’ => ‘Database/Mysql’,
‘persistent’ => false,
‘host’ => ‘localhost’,
‘port’ => ”,
‘login’ => ‘root’,//I use localhost, so I set it root
‘password’ => ‘*******’,//here put your password
‘database’ => ‘blog’,//choose your databases
‘prefix’ => ”,
‘encoding’ => ‘utf8’,
);
Second,config your salt
under app/config/core.php, open core.php file,find your Security.salt, then go to google type:random strings, click GRC,copy the string to replace it into your file,should look like below:
Configure::write(‘Security.salt’, ‘dVYSYFEl2wYaF5FXSKhFmhGSXBGLmFeyczLUaH4IX8qIKZqo03aasw2jTmcjRP7’);
Third, Debug is optional but I think that it is good have it.
Down load it from cakePHP website name debug_kit-master file put it under your plug file
open bootstrap.php uncommon this statement.
CakePlugin::load(‘DebugKit’); //Loads a single plugin named DebugKit
