I've been following the instructions in the Blog tutorial, and did alright...up to the point where I'm creating the database and getting Cake to connect to it.
Is there a special place that Cake expects the database to be found? I'm using XAMPP on a Win XP machine, and CakePHP 1.2.1.8004. The tutorial doesn't specify a database creation method, so I used phpMyAdmin to create the database and add the posts from the tutorial. Then, I modified the database.php file, per page 10.1.3, and called up the localhost. Cake tells me that the tmp directory is writable, the FileEngine is being used for caching, and that my database configuration file is present. However, it also tells me that it is NOT able to connect to the database. Obviously, I'm a n00b to all of this (the last thing I had to do with a database was creating one using MS Access). I'm trying to learn enough to be able to help someone with his business, and maybe be able to get a job... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
