Hay dude thanks for the video. I'm new to both Mac and cakephp. So your help is needed!

Well, export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Librar­y/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/p­hp5/bin:/Appl

ications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake­/console:$PATH

into my terminal and push the 'esc' key as you say but it doesn't do nothing excepting moving the cursor a step forward and all i hear this funny noise from clicking any key. What I'm doing wrong?

@AfgF16 try pressing Shift ; then type wq to write the file and then quit vi

I only get this error, never mind where I try "cake bake" cmd "mysql":

-bash: cake: command not found

I've careful with the paths. Do you think this is a permissions problem?

[wobito]

it shouldn't be a permissions problem, it can't find the cake command, meaning the path to the cake folder is incorrect or doesn't exist.

send me what is in your .profile so I can check the paths

How to do this without MAMP? There are no instructions anywhere! I have this in .profile

export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr­/bin:/Users/ralphonz/Sites/Tes­ting/Cake_Blog/app/cake/consol­e:$PATH

I just get -bash command not found, any help would be great

Thanks

Hey man, I'm having the same problem as The Chinsu. Everything set up fine but when I go to cake bake a project is comes up with -bash: cake: command not found. When I re-opened terminal it said that all of the directories I had set up were directories so that shouldn't be a problem. It's worth noting as well that it didn't even recognise ls as a command after I'd changed directory to the htdocs folder in MAMP. Any ideas?

All seemed OK. 'cake bake' worked fine but running the site gives this error.

Warning: include(cake/bootstrap.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/elijha/Sites/dvdtest/we­broot/index.php

echo include path from webroot/ show this 'if' fails & stops the right folder loading.

if (function_exists('ini_set') && ini_set('include_path', CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH . PATH_SEPARATOR . ROOT . DS . APP_DIR . DS . PATH_SEPARATOR . ini_get('include_path')))

I have to take this back. This does not work for cake bake all. do you have any idea why the database connection does not connect properly?

[f0ru0l0rd]

Excellent! Thank You!

[jmclemo]

when I tried this it didn't work so did some googling. Not entirely sure why but the file I needed to edit was .bash_profile all other instructions exactly the same and it worked a treat! many thanks

[TheChinsu]

I have it working now even when I don't know what was wrong :P

Two days later I just started all over again and got the mac baking in two minutes

Anyway, thank you very much for the answer
