Question

I developed a site with CakePHP version 1.2.5 and everything worked fine by then. But now, I’m trying to re-implement my site with CakePHP version 2.2.1.

But the connection to the database (firebird) is not working anymore.

Here is my cake/app/Config/database.php file:

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

var $default = array(
    'driver' => 'firebird',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'SYSDBA',
    'password' => 'masterkey',
    'database' => 'd:\\IBDatabase\\DATA.GDB',
    'port' => '3050',
    'connect' => 'ibase_connect'
);

var $test = array(
    'driver' => 'firebird',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'SYSDBA',
    'password' => 'masterkey',
    'database' => 'd:\\IBDatabase\\DATA.GDB',
    'prefix' => '',
);
}

And here is the error I’m getting:

Missing Datasource
Error: Datasource class could not be found.

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\View\Errors\missing_datasource.ctp

Does anyone know what I should do?
Thanks!!

Answer 1

After a lot of research, I’ve found that Cake 2.x is not compatible with firebird.
