Hi Guys,

I am new to CakePHP and do not have any experience with it. We are starting a new project and decided to learn CakePHP and make that project in version 2.0.0 of it. We downloaded 2.0.0 RC 2 and we have tried to install that.

For development purpose, we are trying to install it on Wamp (on Windows Machine) server. We found a few documentation about it but all of old versions (1.3.12 or earlier versions) but not for 2.0.0. We still tried to install it using old versions' instruction but it didnt work. Even a simple practice program were not being able to run on our machine. We are getting 404 error. Is it because of URL re-writing?

I am thinking that it may be URL rewriting issue as during installation we were able to remove all errors/warnings but URL re-writing warning from CakePHP page. CAN ANYONE PLEASE GUIDE US ABOUT IT AS WE ARE FEW NEWBIES WHO WANTS TO LEARN CAKEPHP. ANY HELP WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you,
Sumit

    Sorry for the my stupid question above but I was able to resolve above situation just by restarting my apache server. I solved one problem but other arises.

    I have created a simple application and now I am trying to run it but having some URL issues... may be someone can help me.

    according to instructions in tutorial I should see my application page at following link:
    http://localhost/users/register
    BUT I am getting 404 error, however I can see the desired page at -
    http://localhost/cake/users/register

    Now whenever I click submit button the application looks for the first URL but I get the following error:
    The requested URL /users/register was not found on this server.

    Now I am not sure what I missed. I checked my URL re-writing settings many times, at least three times, but still cannot figure out this problem.

    Please advice.

    You'll want to refer these questions to the CakePHP Lighthouse account (cakephp.lighthouseapp.com).

    This is the support site for Lighthouse, a web application that the CakePHP group use for the issue tracking.

    Thanks,
    Nicole
