I’m having some trouble getting the Bake feature of CakePHP 2.0 working.. I think it is down to the way I’ve got my folder structure set-up, i.e:

file structure

htdocs is the site’s root, which contains everything normally found in the ‘app’ folder. The htdocs/webroot/index.php file has had its CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH set as the following:

define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', '..' . DS . '..' . DS . 'cakephp' . DS . 'lib');

I then navigate into the htdocs folder (via putty, it is hosted on a Debian 6 server), and run the following command:

php ../cakephp/lib/Cake/Console/cake.php bake

but based on the fact that the app path listed is “/srv/www/cakeauth.tld.blue/cakephp/app/” rather than what it should be: “/srv/www/cakeauth.tld.blue/htdocs/“, means that it doesn’t recognise htdocs as an app.

Can anyone help me set this up to run Bake in the correct place? Thank you 🙂

    After checking the Cookbook, I found that you’ve got the ability to pass an -app parameter when calling bake, which represents the path to the app…

    So in my instance, I would run:

    php ../cakephp/lib/Cake/Console/cake.php bake -app /srv/www/cakeauth.tld.local/htdocs/
