Installing Cakephp DebugKit

I have had difficulty getting DebugKit configured with CakePHP. I've read the answer here: How to Install DebugKit on CakePHP but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Here is what I have done so far:

Created a directory called DebugKit in app/Plugin

Downloaded all the files from Git (They come in a folder called debug_kit but I just copied all the files in that folder and placed them in my newly created DebugKit folder)

Uncommented the line CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); //Loads a single plugin named DebugKit in Bootstrap.php

My AppController Class now looks like this 

class AppController extends Controller {

public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar');

}

My Core.php has this line: 

Configure::write('debug', 1);

And I have commented out this line in the file default.ctp

<!-- <?php //echo $this->element('sql_dump'); ?> -->

The error message I receive is:

Error: The application is trying to load a file from the DebugKit plugin

Error: Make sure your plugin DebugKit is in the app\Plugin directory and was loaded

I have been URL Rewriting enabled as per these instructions: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/installation/url-rewriting.html#apache-and-mod-rewrite-and-htaccess

And my Web application directory structure looks like this: Wamp/www/cakephp/

I also notice that there is a folder called plugins at this location: cakephp/plugins - I have tried copying the downloaded plugin to that location but it doesn't work either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using cakephp2.x, you need to load the plugin in cake/app/config/ bootstrap.php file.

you will find the lines will look like

*CakePlugin::loadAll(); // Loads all plugins at once *CakePlugin::load(’DebugKit’); //Loads a single plugin

then you have to copy paste the code without the * symbol 

CakePlugin::loadAll(); // Loads all plugins at once CakePlugin::load(’DebugKit’); //Loads a single plugin

this works for me

make sure that the name of directory where debugkit resides

the right name is DebugKit

app/Plugin/DebugKit

This was a very silly mistake of mine - I had just uncommented the line CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); in the bootstrap.php file but it was still surrounded by a comment block, so uncommenting the line took no effect. Silly me.
