CakePhp with xampp

Question

I am trying to execute my first application in cakephp, but it's giving an error

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'CacheException' with message 'Cache
engine _cake_core_ is not properly configured.' in
/opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php:166 Stack trace:
#0 /opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php(136): Cache::_buildEngine('_cake_core_') #1

/opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on line 166

and two warnings

Warning: _cake_core_ cache was unable to write 'cake_dev_en-us' to
File cache in /opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on
line 310

Warning: /opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/app/tmp/cache/persistent/ is not
writable in
/opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo/lib/Cake/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php on
line 337

Pleas give me any solution to do my first application with cakephp.

Answer 1

you can use a permissive ownership:

chmod -R 777 app/tmp

A better method is to change group ownership of tmp and everthing below it to www-data ( or whatever group your apache server runs in ) with 'chgrp -R www-data tmp' followed by 'chmod -R 774 tmp' This makes tmp read/write for you and the www-data group but readonly for everyone else

let me know if i can help you more.

Answer 2

The cache folder is not writable according to warning.

open terminal, run sudo chmod 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/CakeTooDoo -R

Plus, you should reconfigure file permissions, like 775, in real productions.
