Question

I am having trouble getting the Bake console.

I am on Windows running XAMPP.

I’m doing the IBM CakePHP tutorial.

Here is my directory:

C:\
  xampp
     htdocs
        ibm2 (a test project - orginally called cakephp)
          app
          cake
          vendors
          (etc)

It says to use Bake,

cd into the /webroot/app directory and
launch the Cake Console:
../cake/console/cake bake. You should
be presented with a screen that looks
like Figure 2.

So I write in my command prompt till I am at:

C:\xampp\htdocs\ibm2\app>

Then I type

../cake/console/cake bake

but I get this error:

‘..’ is not recognized as an internal
or external command, operable program
or batch file.

What am I doing wrong? I use the Windows command prompt
