setup existing project

[sela]

I tried to setup an existing CakePHP project to the plugin, but what ever I tried failed. My project doesn't follow exactly the folder structure of when you create a new project and then moving the existing code into that and it didn't work for me. Any doc how I suppose to do it?

I'm sorry to be late.

At first, you must check enabled option at the project properties.(Right-click project > properties > Frameworks > CakePHP) Then, Did you set your CakePHP root and app folder path(relative path from your project directory) there?

Thanks. I have in CakePHP Root as I got cake.php in Console directory and I get "Not found cake script file(cake.php)."

[junichi11]

How did you install the CakePHP? composer? zip file?

[sela]

the cakephp is in a separate directory as a global.

[junichi11]

Please try to set the relative path for your CakePHP directory from your project directory to project properties.

If you are not sure, please tell me your directory structures.

I tried with cd ../../../usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5/lib/Cake/Console/ from my and it works from the command but not from the plugin.

I'm not sure what you want to say yet exactly... What are your problems? At first, Were you able to set up plugin?

I tried with cd ../../../usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5/lib/Cake/Console/ from my and it works from the command but not from the plugin.

Does this mean a problem for run command action?

Could you write the followings?

• What you did (Your steps)
• What you expect
• Your result, (e.g. error message)

The problem. when I select CakePHP tab under Frameworks in Project Properties. I can't make the OK button to work as I get various of errors. I'm stuck with the error Not found cake script file(cake.php). Although I tried different ways. I understand I need to have the relative directory from the project folder in the Sources category. My cake.php file is in /usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5/lib/Cake/Console/ and the source is /var/www/myproj so I set the CakePHP Root to ../../../usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5/lib/Cake/Console/ but I get the Error Not found cake script file(cake.php). in red at the bottom of the window.

I see now. Thanks for your reply.

CakePHP Root is not Console directory but top of directory. Please try to set ../../usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5 instead of ../../../usr/share/cakephp/2.4.5/lib/Cake/Console/

Brilliant. It works perfectly. It isn't very clear you need to omit the /lib/Cake/Console/

I wrote CakePHP Root. I didn't write Console directory or cake.php.
