    just curious, what is cakephp strength compare to mambo, joomla or even wordpress :D , anyway i also used xammp for preparing the server. Its very easy huh

  2. Agro Rachmatullah Says:

    Well, it’s CakePHP is actually different from the likes of Mambo, Joomla, and WordPress so it will be an apple to oranges comparison. But here it is anyway…

    I haven’t installed Mambo, Joomla, and WordPress but it seems that after installing them a web site will be up and running. You can then add pages/posts/whatever from the website itself. No coding.

    However, after installing CakePHP on the server, it’s time to open a text editor and start… coding! This is because CakePHP is a class library to help you build a PHP-based website. If you do lots of database query and input validation, CakePHP will make your web development a lot easier.

    CakePHP is cool for developers, CMS systemm like Mambo are heavy and do not subscribe in a disciplined fashion to any development framework. CakePHP uses MVC, a very promosing methodology for software development modelled on OOAD, …smoke Mambo & Joomla!

  4. Mythophile Says:

    Cake is geared specifically to creating database driven websites. It’s a tight series of functions that let developers create a site almost from the ground up. Programs like Mambo, Joomla and Drupal are geared toward removing as much coding as possible. Because of this they are less flexible and all sites designed with them tend to look the same.

    Hey, I’m just glad you had the correct answer for me to get cake up and running. I started playing with it last night. You saved me a lot of frustration and hassles.

    I’ve tried Mambo, Joombla, ExponentCMS and the likes… and what you both said about the differences is completely true. I’m a novice developer and it seems that CMS systems are geared toward the less experience developers who just need to get a site up and running with simple web based wizards.

    Hey! I also want a piece of the cake but it just doesn’t work here because I can’t get mod_rewrite to work properly!

    I’ve downloaded and installed a fresh Xampp, I did the #LoadModule uncommenting the AllowOverride All changing, but I still get the uggly page just like they sey in cake’s manual (css and images not loading!)

    Can someone help me?

  7. sonic Says:

    Me too! I’ve already install and configure both CakePHP and xampp. But when I run test tutorials on my CakePHP Framework, it says the page can’t be found. What do I need to configure? Can you all help me?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks for the instructions.
    I had to load mod_rewrite in order for it to work.
    Going to be testing with Cakephp today.
    Was trying Symfony earlier, but I cannot stand all the command line stuff.

  9. contrid Says:

    @priandoyo
    Cakephp is a framework, not a CMS.
    Those other CMSs mentioned are ready for use.

    Very cool. I will use phpcake for my website: blockacountry.com, will make my life much easier.

  19. Momekh Says:

    I have a massive problem. Massive not in size, but in annoyance! The problems seems so small, hence the massive annoyance. Please, some clues as to what the hell is going wrong here will help.

    There is no CSS for the cakePHP page. I have installed it, connected the dbase etc, but now that I tried to make a simple notes/memo/bookmark thingy thing, to start off my cakePHP adventures, of cousre I cant access it at /.

    I think that the reason I am not getting CSS to style the page at , is the same reason why this small app is not working. I am stuck and I had the tea and cigarettes and time lined up to learn some cake.

    Please help. Email me or just reply here.
    Will be much appreciated. Thanks :)
