Introduction

Hints and notes to help install CakePHP on a FreeBSD server.

Notes

1. CakePHP installs a cakephp.conf file that overrides values in the existing Apache config. I spent two hours trying to figure out why my Apache DirectoryIndex directives failed until I noticed that they've been reconfigured by this file:

   
   /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/cakephp.conf
   
   

2. Be sure to check the files in /usr/local/www/cakephp/app/Config for additional framework configuration options.
