Question

I don’t know where something is wrong, the ZIP file was just been given to me, and a set of programmer ‘did’ the ‘half’ of the work, and now I should do it, the problem is, I don’t know where the error is, nothing shows when I go to localhost/wookay/

Here’s the code:

<?php

if (!defined('DS')) {
    define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
}



if (!defined('ROOT')) {
    define('ROOT', dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
}


if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
    define('APP_DIR', basename(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
}

if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
    define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT);
}




if (!defined('WEBROOT_DIR')) {
    define('WEBROOT_DIR', basename(dirname(__FILE__)));
}

if (!defined('WWW_ROOT')) {
    define('WWW_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__) . DS);
}

if (!defined('CORE_PATH')) {
    if (function_exists('ini_set') && ini_set('include_path', CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH . PATH_SEPARATOR . ROOT . DS . APP_DIR . DS . PATH_SEPARATOR . ini_get('include_path'))) {
        define('APP_PATH', null);
        define('CORE_PATH', null);
    } else {
        define('APP_PATH', ROOT . DS . APP_DIR . DS);
        define('CORE_PATH', CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH . DS);
    }
}

if (!include(CORE_PATH . 'cake' . DS . 'bootstrap.php')) {
    trigger_error("CakePHP core could not be found.  Check the value of CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH in APP/webroot/index.php.  It should point to the directory containing your " . DS . "cake core directory and your " . DS . "vendors root directory.", E_USER_ERROR);
}



if (isset($_GET['url']) && $_GET['url'] === 'favicon.ico') {

    return;
} else {

    $Dispatcher = new Dispatcher();

            $Dispatcher->dispatch($url);
    }

if (Configure::read() > 0) {
    echo "<!-- " . round(getMicrotime() - $TIME_START, 4) . "s -->";
}

?>

I forgot to tell you, I’m a bit noob on CakePHP, I usually use smarty template and create my own framework in the process, and I’m sure that the problem lies somewhere within the $Dispatcher = new Dispatcher(); I echoed before and after, it didn’t show whats after…

I Changed the config/core.php Configure::(‘debug’,0); to Cinfigure::(‘debug’,1);

When it was “0” nothing was showing, now, when I changed it to “1” everything is showing, but should 0 be production mode?

Answer 1

Turn on error reporting, add this line after the opening <?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

or enable CakePHP’s debug setting by setting its value to 2 you’ll do this in

config/core.php

then change this line to

Configure::write('debug', 2);
